We're a London-based early-stage startup looking for talented people to grow with us.
There are 150M+ everyday runners in the world, growing faster than nearly every other sport. Runna is a personalised coaching app for runners changing the way people train for 5ks, Marathons and more. Our mission is to help people train better and love running.
We provide world-class training, coaching and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5k time or training for your first marathon.
✅ #1 rated personalised training plans
✅ Syncs with your favourite fitness devices
✅ Holistic coaching including strength and injury management
✅ Support from in-app community and coaching
Runna was founded in 2020 by running enthusiasts Dom Maskell and Ben Parker. Dom was at McKinsey & Company, whilst Ben was a professional running coach, when they became frustrated at the help available to the millions of runners worldwide who wanted to train for anything from their first 5k to an ultramarathon. The only options available were free, generic PDF-based plans which weren’t effective, running coaches which are inaccessible and unaffordable to most as well as generic running apps such as Nike Run Club, Runkeeper and Map My Run.
The best way to understand Runna and how we’re different is to play with the product.
We set out to build the best running platform in the world, launching our personalised PDF-based service in March 2021, with our Tech Lead Walter Holohan joining us in September 2021
Active subscriptions since launch
We launched our subscription-based app in March 2022 and have seen immediate and consistent subscriber growth since, with hundreds of thousands of users signing up to our app, in over 180 countries, in just 12 months.
The metrics that we’ve seen since launching are a clear demonstration of the need for such an app and a testament to the team that we are lucky to have.
We’ve seen traction across the board, from number of subscribers, to our 5000+ 5* reviews across the various app stores and Trustpilot, to being backed by British Olympic Marathoner Steph Davis, Olympian Greg O’Shea and Ultra Athlete Joshua Patterson.
We’re now looking ahead to the future and the people that want to help us build and scale Runna. We want to reach millions of subscribers in the next 5 years and be the go-to training platform for any runner. Now is a magical time to join, we're still small, and everyone makes a fundamental difference. Interested in learning more? Check out open roles below.
