Is BeanFit only for lifters?

No. It is useful for runners, triathletes, strength-based, hybrid, and mixed-sport athletes who want strength, cardio, and heart rate information in the same training record.

Does BeanFit replace Garmin, Strava or a running watch?

No. BeanFit is a local training log and analytics app rather than a GPS route platform or automatic wearable-sync service. It complements a running watch by preserving the strength and cardio detail that often sits outside the main endurance record. Smart tech integrations are in the design phase.

Does strength training prevent running injuries?

Strength work can improve capacity and performance, but evidence for runner-specific prevention is mixed. Programme design, supervision, adherence, recovery, and the nature of the individual problem are all factors to be considered.
