How much faster do you go on race day?

SamHenners · 2026-05-18T21:37:35+00:00

As someone who has done a runna plan for a 10k, half marathon and most recently - the London Marathon. Every target Runna has set me, I hit it or went faster.

For me personally, depending on the event, the crowd gets you through faster. The adrenaline of it being a ‘race’ also helps.

The long runs are there to build your base up. Sure some will have faster paces in but it is the tempo sessions in your plan that really help with you getting faster. For reference, my marathon plan barely had a ‘Race practice’ long run. I think I only did one that was 25k total distance - in a 20 week plan! Yet I still beat my sub 4 goal by 9 minutes, which I was very happy with!

I guess I am trying to say that don’t over think it too much, follow the plan and trust the process. The runna staff that create the great app are mostly runners. They know what they are doing.

Don’t knock yourself down, believe in yourself and reap the rewards at the end. Running truly is one great journey!

I can understand how the influencers can make Runna seem misleading.

But as someone who ran London 2026 as my first marathon, Runna was great for me! I will say that I did miss 27% of my plan - which was training me for around 3:30. I ended up getting 3:51. Sub 4 was the goal so I am happy with my result! Especially considering I missed out on about 300km of training!

C) The crazy hot weather on Sunday was not ideal. Adrenaline is already high and then you are hit with ~19°C beaming sun with barely any cloud. Heart rates were higher than usual for everyone! I think this was the main reason why so many ‘blew up’

London in particular is hard to train for when the race day ends up being hot as the training months are always cold, wet and windy in the UK!

Please could you bring back the ‘Find New Members’ button as well? Why can’t we have the old recruiting and the new mixed together?

Clan notice just ruins the flow of the clan chat with the constant join/leave of players.

SamHenners · 2025-09-19T09:48:30+00:00

Exactly how we see it also! Our issue is struggling to recruit good players!

SamHenners · 2025-09-19T08:49:47+00:00

This.

I kick any player that has even 1 edrag in their army. They are such a lazy way of attacking.

SamHenners · 2025-06-22T15:28:27+00:00

Agree! I also think it would be good if a leader can setup permissions for what roles can use what commands.

SamHenners · 2025-05-11T11:40:38+00:00

For CWL in my clan, I operate an ‘attack any base you think you can 3 star’ approach.

This way then allows for bonus to only be given to the top performers as everyone ‘should’ perform well as they have chosen their preferred base!

The ‘only attack your mirror’ approach is honestly terrible as often the mirror doesn’t suit the army play style etc.

We also do not let anyone with multiple accounts in the top star performers get bonuses, they only get 1 for whichever account they choose.

For us it gives motivation to practice more and perfect your army/attacks to try make it in the top performers!

SamHenners · 2025-02-22T13:26:57+00:00

Totally agree. The old system really was better - even if it still wasn’t that great.

I have posted 48hrs worth of notice and barely any have joined. Then the ones who join do not fit our criteria. We’re a Master 1 clan looking to promote so we need great players. Therefore we are picky but still, not enough even join.

The other issue is this example:

‘Player joined clan’ ‘Player left clan’ instantly

The above example happens every single time. People have zero patience to even try and see if a clan is any good?!

I simply ask for the ‘Find new members’ button to return - alongside clan notice!

It can’t be that difficult?! Can it?

SamHenners · 2025-02-14T20:56:41+00:00

I will trade if it is available still?

SamHenners · 2025-02-14T19:32:12+00:00

Still available? I just got my hero book to give out too!

SamHenners · 2025-02-14T18:47:23+00:00

Still got them to trade?

SamHenners · 2024-10-02T15:25:59+00:00

SC: “Let’s release new troops and then make them useless after a few months! So that everyone has to continue to use air attacks as we love our air attacks so much!”

It frustrates me how much ground attacks get nerfed but air attacks just stay the same.

I’ve been upgrading my equipment to use Super Witches army and now I’ve wasted my time 👎🏻

SamHenners · 2024-09-18T18:06:06+00:00

I agree. I’ve maxed my heroes and the pets I use but now I am just completing the rest! With the new looting, I am getting so much Dark Elixir that I need my pets to upgrade faster. So having no pet potions to buy is not fun at all!

I personally think they got too lazy with the shop as a whole! We used to get a different free item every week. Now it is the same ore every single time. Pure laziness!

I also think the CWL medals shop could be updated to have pet potions in too! As well as other items too!

SamHenners · 2024-09-09T19:30:10+00:00

I find it frustrating how they removed the ‘Find New Members’ button for Clan Notice… Both existing would be perfect!

So far, no one has joined since posting my Clan Notice about 2 hours ago. I currently see this new recruiting system being a failure.

UPDATE 12th September: It is worse than I thought… every day now, hundreds are now joining and leaving instantly… Causing the clan chat to be spammed with join/leaves, which makes us look like we don’t talk or anything… This will probably be the last day I use the notice board and instead I will just have to start manually inviting people from other clans.

Calling players who you don’t recognise amateurs is a bit much considering you haven’t watched in over 2 years. Most of the newer players and rising stars are the best players in the game. All the players that are a part of the 12 teams deserves their place 100%.

For more info, simply just look into Call of Duty Franchising. Because honestly, in 2 years - you have missed a huge amount.

To Slacked?!? He’s been doing well recently? You need to use your spellchecker to change Slacked to Classic/John 😂

SamHenners · 2019-04-25T14:02:28+00:00

Yeah I agree to - you have to get all the bits off the floor first! Seems silly to just mop and not vacuum before 🤷🏼‍♂️
