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.
