It’s time to update your app.

We stopped supporting the older versions of the app on 15.09.2021. This means that:

• You will no longer be able to log into adidas Running or Training.
• Your activites will no longer be stored in the app.
• Your new activities will not be shown. 

If you are a Premium member and for whatever reason can’t use the app, you can contact us below by submitting a ticket and we will assist you further. 

To keep using all your favourite features please install the latest version of the adidas Running or Training app.

You can choose either a Public Profile or Private Profile. Below you'll find the differences between them:  

Private Profile:

• No auto-accept: You have to accept or decline your follow requests. 
• Private access: Detailed profile information is hidden from other users by default. Depending on other privacy settings, some data might be visible to others. 
• If another user wants to see your follower/following list, they can only do this if they follow you. The number of your followers and users you are following is visible to anyone.

Public Profile:

• Auto-accept: You no longer have to accept follow requests. If another user wants to follow you, their request is accepted automatically.
• Public access: Your profile information is visible to everyone within the adidas Running and Training apps, even if they don't follow you yet. This includes your Follower/Following list, statistics, records, AR information, and connections. You can still change your privacy settings separately in the general privacy settings

You can switch between Private or Public Profile in your profile settings at any time:

• Open the adidas Running app
• Go to "Profile"
• Tap on "View Full Profile" 
• Tap on Private or Public Profile underneath "Edit profile"
• On the next screen, you can choose whether you would like to have a Private or Public profile.
• Once you select an option, the checkmark will indicate your selection
• You can now save the change by confirming.

Note: All of your pending follower requests will be automatically approved if you switch from a Private to Public Profile. You can switch between a Private and Public Profile at any time.

We want to let you know that we’ve decided to say goodbye to the Routes feature within the adidas Running app. 

Our priority is providing an awesome app experience, no matter which of our apps you use. That’s why we are focusing our energy on the features where we see the greatest potential. 

We’ve now partnered up with route provider app Komoot to provide you with an exciting way to stay active outdoors.

What does the fadeout mean for you?

Don’t worry, you can still download your routes in the adidas Running app by following the steps below, until 6th of April, 2021:

Android:

• Open the adidas Running app
• Go to your activity screen and click on settings (gear icon) next to “Start”
• Now click on “Select Your Route” 
• Here you can choose between your marked, created or completed routes
• Once you click on “Start exploring” in the respective category, you’ll be able to see all created routes
• To start the export click on your preferred route
• Click on “Export as .gpx file” 
• Select where you want to export the GPX file to.

Please, note that you can only export one route at a time. After you export your routes as a GPX file, you can import the routes to other route provider apps. 

While you might still see the Routes feature available in your setup activity screen, you are no longer able to explore, use or create a new route within the adidas Running app after April 6th, 2021. If this is the case for you, please simply update your app to the latest version and the Routes feature should disappear from the activity setup screen completely.

After the fadeout date your completed routes will also no longer be linked to your past activities. 

What does this partnership mean for you?

We know that you might miss this feature, which is why we made sure to have an alternative ready for you. We are excited to let you know that we partnered up with Komoot, an app that lets you discover, plan, and share routes for different sports. 

Driven by a desire to explore, and powered by the outdoor community’s recommendations, it’s Komoot’s mission to inspire great adventures making them accessible to all. 

• Connect with other athletes and explore the great outdoors 
• Get inspired by tapping into an online community and get recommendations
• Bring your adventures to life with the easy route planner.

We sent our recent Routes users a code for a Region Bundle from Komoot via email and also in your notification inbox in the adidas Running app. Make sure to also check your spam folder for our email.

With the Region Bundle you can unlock routes for multiple regions, use voice navigation, offline maps and receive weekly updates for your route activities. If you want to navigate and upload your exported GPx files directly to Komoot, make sure to follow the steps described in this article. There is also a Komoot support article for export and import here.

If you would like to see your new Komoot activities in the adidas Running app, make sure to connect your Komoot account to your Garmin, Polar or Suunto device (Komoot available devices) and your adidas Running account to the same Garmin, Polar, or Suunto device (adidas Running Partner Accounts). 

As soon as you connect your Komoot and adidas Running accounts to the same smartwatch device, every activity that you do with the Komoot app will be synced to your adidas Running app. This means the activities you do with Komoot still count towards Virtual Races, Challenges, to your training plan and Goals that you have set in the adidas Running app. If you are a Creators Club member, you will also receive your Creators Club points. *

We don’t just want to stop here, so be on the lookout for more partners to come in the future to even further improve your route experience in connection with adidas Running.

If you face any difficulties with redeeming your Komoot Regional bundle code, please reach out to our Customer Happiness team by submitting a ticket below. 

*Only in countries where Creators Club is available. 

It’s time to say goodbye, we’re dropping android 7!

Technology advances rapidly, with new devices coming out every year, it sometimes can be hard to keep up with the speed and to still provide a great app experience. 

Hence, in order to provide you with the best user experience, we have decided to discontinue supporting android 7.

Due to that, we will no longer be able to fix any issues that are reported on android devices running android 7 or lower.

What does that mean for you? 

• In order to guarantee a smooth app experience, simply update to the newest available android version.
• If your device can’t run a higher android version you should still be able to use the App. However, we won’t be able to fix any reported bugs or issues within the adidas Running App on android 7 devices.

Note: Once you remove the adidas Running app from your phone you will not be able to download it on your android 7 device again.

You can share your activities not only on social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter but also on every other app installed on your phone that supports the sharing of information.

The Share screen will show up automatically after finishing an activity in the adidas Running app. If you want to share an older activity, follow these simple steps:

• Tap the “Progress” tab
• Tap “Show more” next to “Recent Activities” to view your adidas Running history 
• Select one of your activities
• In the top right corner, you will find the Sharing icon

After tapping this icon, you can share the activity with your friends and followers on the social network of your choice

We have moved from “Friends” to “Followers”, this change will give you the opportunity to have a better control over what you want to share with fellow fitness friends and what you can see from them.  

If you have issues with your Friends features, please update to the newest available app version. Once the app is updated to the newest version, your “Friends” will be replaced by “Followers” and so will the former Friends features. 

Don’t worry! Your previous features will still be there, just with a new name and more options to control what you share with other users.

If you have a public profile, users can view your whole Profile including your statistics, connections, records, and your Follower/Following list without following you first.

When you receive a follow request, you get a notification in your “Notification Inbox” on the top right corner of your News Feed.

A Follower is another user from our fitness community that connected with you. A Follower is just like a Friend and will see the activities you share, comments you post and Newsfeed posts, based on your privacy settings.

Note: When another user follows you, this does not automatically mean that you follow them too.

If you would like to follow another user take a look here.

You might have noticed that your friends list is gone. This is because we recently transitioned from “Friends” to “Followers”. Take a look here to find out more about Followers.

Wondering what’s happened to your in-app Friends? Don’t worry; your community is still there! “Friends” have now become “Followers”. 

With Followers, it’s now easier to share your achievements, activity and updates with others in your community.
