Very useful with one crucial flaw – Nike Run Club: Running Coach Review

The coaching in the guided runs on this app has been indispensable to me for turning running into a fun and sustainable pastime. It’s impressive that there are so many guided runs you can access in a free app. I would use the app to record all of my runs if not for one factor: the sound cues are no good for running while listening to podcasts. When a sound cue comes on (to tell you mileage, pace, time, etc.), rather than pausing the music or podcast in the background, it continues the sound at a very low volume. This is nice for listening to music but deeply annoying for listening to podcasts because you miss part of what’s being said. There is no way to change this in the settings. This means that when I want to run with a podcast on (which I do for the vast majority of my runs), I use RunKeeper instead, even though I would much rather use NRC for all of my runs. App developers, if you are scouring the comments looking for things to update, please, I am begging you, make it an option to change this in settings.
