Let's go back to the iconic scene of Rocky Balboa running through the streets, wearing nothing but flat-shoes and a simple grey jogging suit! Aaahh, the good old days when running was simple...

Now remember what you did before your last run... You were probably scrambling around the house trying to find your GPS watch, your smartphone, your smartphone holder, your headphones... what a mess!

Earlier this month I was invited to test a running app called ‘Vi Trainer’ and in this article I will give a brief overview of my experience with the app. This is the first of a few ‘Vi Trainer’ articles in which I will be documenting my experience before releasing a full review when I am fully familiarized with Vi Trainer.

I’ve tried many running apps and they all do pretty much the same - keep track of running stats like current and average pace, distance, elevation and keep track of personal time and distance records.

While researching online about the app, I found out it has a pretty nifty feature... Vi asks you what your goals are and creates a training plan to help you achieve those goals. ​
