Running culture is booming, and now the running app war is heating up too.
So
@strava just acquired
@runna - an app offering tailored running plans.
Strava's been the king of running apps for years.
But honestly, they've kinda been coasting for a while.
The user experience hasn't really evolved much.
And with the boom in running culture, this acquisition is a pretty big signal from Strava and for the space as a whole.
On one hand, for Strava - are they going all in on building better tools or just fending off competition here? Probably a mixture a both.
But then on the other hand, for the running app space - this validates what we're seeing.
New apps are popping up like
@endorphinsrunning and Zach Pogrob's
@shareaura app.
And there is space for plenty of players - the running app space is just heating up.
