I've skimmed the thread a bit since it's been "running" (pun intended) but haven't really dug in since this isn't my thing.

Still, I've got a question about these various apps, recommended paces, etc.

How much of this stuff is really about running to improve your running (times, distance, etc) as opposed to, say, running from an improving your overall fitness and/or general stamina standpoint?

(point being, my kid - who truly hates running btw - needs to work on his conditioning for next tennis season over the summer. Knowing him, something like these apps/having precise targets/etc might have some appeal, so I'm trying to figure out how applicable it would actually be)
