In other words, a feature previously covered by your subscription fee is being yanked away—and Strava users are rightfully peeved. This move represents an ongoing trend in the subscription economy: the gradual erosion of what you're paying for, without a price drop to match.
To ease the transition, Strava is offering all users—both free and premium subscribers—a promotional code (STRAVA-TP) that provides an additional week of free access to Runna's services beyond their standard one-week free trial. So, two weeks total. An important caveat: Users who have previously used Runna's free trial are not eligible for the extended trial period.
What this change means for Strava users
Is this the end of the world? Not exactly. Strava's training plans were in no way the primary selling point of what is still a top tier running app. Still, removing features shortly after consolidating your market share is never a great look.
Of course, Strava didn't invent this sort of subscription rot. Unfortunately, you're probably getting used to getting ripped off like this—more and more companies are gradually stripping away features while maintaining their prices. It's subscription rot in real-time.
Better alternatives for training plans
Runna does have great training programs. If you like using it, $17.99/month is a reasonable price to pay for a program that holds your hand and keeps you on track. However, there are other training plans I'd recommend checking out before you default to running to Runna:
Nike Run Club offers free guided runs and training plans with audio coaching.
Garmin Coach comes free with Garmin devices and offers adaptive training plans that adjust based on your actual performance. If you're already invested in the Garmin ecosystem, this is far superior to paying for a separate service. My colleageu Beth Skwarecki has a full review of her experience with Garmin's training plans here.
Whatever training plan you choose, consider educating yourself first so that you really understand why you're doing each workout. Like with Hal Higdon's plans above, you can learn a lot just from poking around similarly free plans offered by Runner’s World, Hanson’s, and more.
The irony is that by pushing runners toward Runna, Strava may have inadvertently introduced many of them to better, cheaper, or free alternatives they never knew existed.
