Tips & Things to Watch For
Strava + Runna bundle saves up to 60%
Pro TipThere's a promotional bundle offering 'Train smarter and save up to 60% with Strava + Runna.' This appears to be for CZK 166.58/month (billed at CZK 1,999.00/year annual only). Runna provides custom training plans and coaching. Check if this bundle is cheaper than buying both separately.
Annual plan saves 44% vs monthly billing
Pro TipMonthly subscription pricing isn't explicitly shown in the scraped content, but the annual plan advertises 'Save 44%' suggesting monthly billing is significantly more expensive. Annual is CZK 999.00/year (CZK 83.25/month equivalent).
