Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the app?

Simply enter your current 5K race time, and the app will instantly calculate your personalized training paces. You'll get sub-threshold interval paces, easy running pace, and race predictions.

What if I haven't run a 5K recently?

Run a 5K time trial on your own, or estimate your current fitness level based on recent training runs. You can always update your time later as your fitness improves.

How often should I update my paces?

Run a 5K time trial every 4-6 weeks to track your progress and update your training paces. As you improve, your paces will adjust accordingly.

Is my data private?

Yes, we don't collect, store, or transmit any personal information. All your data is stored locally on your device. See our Privacy Policy for details.

What is the Norwegian Singles Approach?

The NSA method emphasizes sub-threshold training - running just below your lactate threshold 3 times per week, with truly easy running on other days. It's sustainable, effective, and based on the training of elite Norwegian runners. For the complete methodology, check out James Copeland's book "Norwegian Singles Method: Subthreshold Running Kept Simple."

Can I use this for marathon training?

Yes! The app provides marathon pace predictions and can be used for marathon training. However, for detailed marathon training plans, we recommend purchasing James Copeland's book which includes comprehensive 15-week marathon programs.

Is this app affiliated with James Copeland?

No. NSA Running is an independent app created by a fan of the Norwegian Singles Method. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to James Copeland or the official book. All pace calculations are based on the methodology described in his book.

The app isn't working correctly. What should I do?

First, try restarting the app. If the problem persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling. If you're still experiencing issues, please email us at [email protected] with details about the problem and your device model.
