Field notes
The schedule specifies the run intervals for each week and includes both a warm-up and a final walk in session totals. After a run, the user selects Easy, OK, or Hard; the app may offer a repeat week after two hard runs in one week or a hard final run. For reported pain, it suggests two days of rest and seeing a doctor if the pain persists.
