App Updates - Strength + Resources Tab
Community is something we preach. Since day one, Endorphins has been a community first organization. We have been building the community openly and transparently with community input from the beginning and we have no intention of stopping that any time soon.
You can now add Strength training into your running plans on Endorphins!
Over the past 2 months, the city leads, coach Jonah Rosner, and over 500 beta testers have been testing out Strength training plans for our training programs. These plans are purpose built for runners, compliment your running performance and have been designed by Coach Jonah is one of the worlds leading data scientist and strength coaches for runners!
If you go into your training plan setting, there is a section to add Strength to your plan. From there you can select advanced weighted workouts and the quantity of Strength workouts you have in a given week! Each workout has video instructions from City Lead Noah Cracknell on how to do each exercise.
Thank you to the beta testers who submitted feedback, bugs, and suggestions on how to improve the overall experience. Community feedback is how we continue to improve the experience for our members and ensure we are constantly building with your best interest in mind!
On this note... if you update your app you will see the bottom right navigation tab is no longer your profile and instead is your Resources Tab! If you click on Submit a Bug or Submit a Feature, it will open a direct conversation with myself and our community engineers. This line of communication will help tighten the feedback loop and make sure your voice is heard as we continue to enhance the experience!! Don't be shy, drop us a note if you see anything you'd like improved about Endorphins!
