Runna vs Strava
RunnaComo eles são diferentes, semelhantes e funcionam melhor juntos
Strava e Runna são ferramentas poderosas para corredores, oferecendo suporte de diferentes maneiras. Eles compartilham algumas semelhanças superficiais: ambos são aplicativos móveis que ajudam as pessoas a melhorar seu condicionamento físico e a monitorar seus treinos; podem se conectar ao seu relógio GPS ou telefone; e ambos permitem que você analise o progresso ao longo do tempo.
No entanto, eles têm finalidades muito diferentes. O Strava é um aplicativo social de rastreamento de condicionamento físico, focado no compartilhamento de atividades, na participação em clubes e na comparação de esforços com outros. O Runna, por outro lado, é um treinador pessoal de corrida, criado para oferecer planos de treinos estruturados e específicos para metas com orientação especializada.
Devido a essas diferenças, os dois aplicativos são altamente complementares. Você pode usar o Runna para treinar de modo mais inteligente, enquanto compartilha seu progresso e comemora os marcos com sua comunidade no Strava.

Sincronização entre os dois aplicativos
Runna premium
Runna sets itself apart by delivering professional, structured coaching that adapts to you personally. While Strava logs what you’ve done, Runna supports your training by showing you what to do next, providing a plan to follow with built-in adjustments for missed runs, changing race goals, or shifting schedules. The plans are designed by expert coaches and include not just runs, but also strength, mobility, and Pilates to keep you healthy and strong. Runna’s community feed keeps you connected with people on similar journeys, without the pressure of a traditional social network. It’s your personal coach, plan, and support network in one.
Structured training plans
Runna is designed around professional training plans, built for goals ranging from couch-to-5k to sub-3-hour marathons. You select a plan based on your goal, experience, and weekly availability, and the app builds a calendar of workouts that adapt over time.
Strava doesn’t offer structured plans by default. You can manually follow a plan, but there’s no built-in coaching experience.
Coaching expertise and guidance
Runna’s plans are created by experienced running coaches and offer explanations for each workout, tips on pacing, recovery advice, and training theory. This transforms it from a tracking tool into a true training companion.
Strava doesn’t include workout guidance, reasoning behind sessions, or any coaching content unless added via a third-party integration.
Adaptability and dynamic adjustments
If you miss a workout, go on holiday, or change your race date, Runna allows you to adjust your plan on the fly. You can shift your schedule, repeat weeks, or re-target a different event, and the app will rebuild your plan accordingly.
Strava doesn’t offer dynamic plan adjustments, since it isn’t built around training calendars.
Strength, mobility, and pilates
Beyond running, Runna includes sessions for strength training, mobility, and Pilates, all built specifically to support runners with injury prevention, recovery, and performance in mind.
Strava can log these types of sessions, but it doesn’t include pre-built workouts or instructional content.
Free intro plans and affordable coaching
Runna offers free beginner plans like “New to Running” and “Return to Running”, giving users a no-cost path to build their fitness. Paid plans provide more advanced features and full access to personalized training.
Strava also has a free tier, but most of its advanced features (like segment analysis, route building, and training data breakdowns) are locked behind a Premium subscription.
Strava subscription
Strava stands out for its broad social connectivity and multi-sport versatility, making it a go-to app for athletes of all types. While Runna focuses on structured coaching, Strava gives users a place to share their workouts, follow friends, and compete on segments no matter what sport they do, whether that’s running, cycling, swimming, hiking, or something else entirely. Its powerful route discovery tools, community clubs, and leaderboards help people stay motivated through friendly competition and connection. If you thrive on encouragement, kudos, and seeing what your friends are up to, Strava’s social tools are a clear advantage.
Activity tracking for dozens of sports
Strava supports more than just running. You can log cycling, hiking, swimming, skiing, rowing, gym workouts, and even manual entries for things like yoga or mobility. It’s built to be an all-sport journal for endurance athletes and weekend warriors alike.
Runna, in contrast, is built specifically for runners and includes targeted support for running, strength training, mobility, and Pilates, but doesn’t offer the multi-sport breadth that Strava does.
Segments and leaderboards
Strava's segment feature lets users compete over specific stretches of road or trail (e.g., a local hill or park loop). Each run automatically checks if you’ve run a segment and compares your time against others on the leaderboard.
Runna doesn’t include segments or community competition. It emphasizes individual performance and structured progression, rather than competitive tracking.
Clubs, events, and group challenges
Strava allows users to join clubs, whether they’re local running groups or global communities around brands or causes. Clubs can host events, post updates, and create group challenges to keep people engaged.
While Runna does offer team challenges and group plan options, especially for corporate wellness or partner integrations, it’s more limited than Strava’s large-scale, open club system.
Route building and discovery
Strava Premium includes a powerful route builder with heatmaps, elevation, and surface type indicators. It also allows you to discover popular running or cycling routes near you, based on millions of community uploads.
Runna doesn’t currently offer route planning or community-based discovery tools.
Social feed, following, and friends
Strava offers a fully developed social network for athletes. Users can follow friends, pro athletes, or clubs, and their feed updates in real-time with all public activities those people upload: runs, rides, swims, hikes, and even gym workouts. You can give "kudos" (likes), leave comments, and interact much like you would on Instagram or Facebook, but focused around fitness.
This kind of person-to-person connectivity is central to Strava’s identity. It’s designed to keep you engaged through your broader fitness circle, even if you’re not training together in person.
In contrast, Runna’s community feed is context-based. You don’t follow individuals, and you won’t see a global stream of activity. Instead, updates come from users in shared communities, like people training for the same race. It fosters a more focused and supportive environment, without the constant activity stream of a traditional social feed.
Recursos compartilhados e benefícios sobrepostos
Apesar de seus diferentes focos, o Runna e o Strava têm funcionalidades que se sobrepõem em algumas áreas:
- Sincronização de treinos: ambos os aplicativos podem ser sincronizados com relógios com GPS (Garmin, Apple Watch, Coros, etc.) e plataformas de condicionamento físico (Apple Health, Google Fit). Você também pode sincronizar treinos entre o Runna e o Strava, para que seus seguidores do Strava possam ver suas sessões concluídas no Runna.
- Rastreamento do progresso: ambos mostram registros históricos, registros pessoais e dados de treinamento. Você pode analisar seu desempenho, ritmo e tendências ao longo do tempo em ambos os aplicativos.
- Uso orientado por meta: não importa se você está buscando uma corrida de 10 km mais rápida ou apenas se mantendo em atividade, ambos os aplicativos ajudam a permanecer no caminho certo de diferentes maneiras: o Strava por meio da comunidade, e o Runna por meio da estrutura.
Usando o Runna e o Strava juntos
A verdadeira mágica acontece quando você usa o Runna e o Strava em conjunto.
Use o Runna para treinar de forma inteligente: siga um plano elaborado por um treinador de acordo com suas metas e cronograma, e incorpore trabalho de força e mobilidade para um desenvolvimento completo.
Use o Strava para se manter motivado e social: compartilhe seu progresso com amigos, compita em segmentos e acompanhe suas sequências e recordes pessoais.
Como os treinos do Runna podem ser sincronizados automaticamente com o Strava, sua comunidade pode torcer por você, mesmo que você siga um plano estruturado e privado. Essa combinação oferece a você orientação especializada e apoio social, facilitando a manutenção do compromisso e da consistência.
