## What is Bolty?

Stop running blind. Bolty is your personal running coach: it breaks down every run, rewrites your training plan week after week, and actually talks to you, before, during and after your session !

Connect Strava, Garmin or your Apple Watch and finally understand what your training really means. Bolty doesn't just throw numbers at you: it tells you why yesterday's session was a good one, what you can change tomorrow, and how you're really progressing.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE BOLTY:

- Detailed analysis of every run. Pace by km, heart rate zones, cardiac drift, elevation, gradient-adjusted pace: Bolty breaks down your run and explains it in plain language. Your intervals are even auto-detected and shown as "6 × 400 m + recovery", without a high-end watch.

- A training plan that rewrites itself every week. Not a static PDF. Bolty builds your program week by week based on what you actually just ran: real pace, heart rate, perceived effort, training load. The plan lives with you, not the other way around.

- Missing a session never breaks your plan. Busy week, fatigue, life getting in the way: your plan extends, no guilt-tripping. You can even talk to Bolty in plain language ("I'm wiped this week, ease off") and it will reshuffle the sessions ahead.

- Real proof that you're getting better. Bolty only compares what's actually comparable — same effort types, similar distances — and delivers concrete verdicts: "-15 s/km at a lower heart rate vs a month ago". You see in black and white that you're moving forward.

- Built-in GPS tracking. Start your run straight from the app, with Bluetooth heart rate sensor support. And share your best runs in one tap, dropped onto your photo.

WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR:

Bolty connects to Strava, Garmin and Apple Watch to pull in your data automatically. No need to change your habits.

WHO IT'S FOR:

- You're (re)starting running and afraid you'll do it wrong.
- You've been running on feel for months without knowing if you're improving.
- You're training for a goal — 5K, 10K, half, marathon, trail.

Whatever your level, Bolty adapts. A real coach in your pocket, on every run. Download it, connect your watch, your next run will tell you everything.

BOLTY PRO:

### 5/5 — La meilleure app de running

*2026-08-10*

Les programmes adaptatifs m’ont vraiment aidée à faire mon marathon (étant quelqu’un qui n’a jamais eu vraiment de cardio et qui n’était pas familière avec la course)

### 5/5 — Un vrai coach

*2026-07-18*

Excellente application qui propose un programme d’entraînement vraiment bien calibré, basé sur l’analyse des résultats des semaines précédentes et adapté à l’objectif que l’on souhaite atteindre.

Chaque séance est expliquée en détail : on comprend son objectif, ce qu’elle va apporter et pourquoi elle est importante dans le plan d’entraînement. Après chaque sortie, l’analyse est très pertinente et fournit des conseils personnalisés pour mieux respecter les consignes lors des prochaines séances et corriger les petites dérives. C’est comme avoir un véritable coach dans sa poche.

J’apprécie également la possibilité de déplacer certaines séances sans déséquilibrer tout le programme, ce qui permet de s’adapter facilement aux imprévus.

Autre gros point fort : il n’est pas nécessaire de multiplier les applications. Elle fonctionne parfaitement avec l’application native de l’Apple Watch, ce qui rend l’expérience simple et fluide.

L’IA intégrée est un véritable atout. On peut lui poser toutes sortes de questions sur la nutrition, la course à pied, l’entraînement ou encore la récupération, et obtenir des réponses pertinentes qui aident à progresser.

Enfin, le développeur est très à l’écoute, répond rapidement et corrige efficacement les petits problèmes lorsqu’ils se présentent.

Je recommande cette application les yeux fermés. Pour moi, c’est l’une des meilleures applications de coaching pour la course à pied.

### 5/5 — Le meilleur coach

*2026-06-02*

Le meilleur coach que vous trouverez ici pour vous améliorer en course à pied.

En raison de mon travail, je fais déjà pas mal de sport, mais j’avais l’impression de stagner et de ne plus progresser.

Grâce à Bolty, j’ai retrouvé un nouveau souffle et je vois à nouveau mes performances sportives s’améliorer.

Merci, Bolty !

### 5/5 — Un coach perso qui s’adapte vraiment à moi

*2026-05-27*

Je test bolty depuis plusieurs semaines et c’est génial ! 

Fini les plans copié collé avec une séance de 1 h dès le jour 3. Bolty par de mon niveau réel, adapte chaque semaine à ce que jai vraiment fait (c’est ok de rater 1 séance), et il ne me met jamais de séance impossible à faire qui me dégoûte avant même de partir courir. 

Ce qui change tout pour moi : l’application explique pourquoi cette séance est là, ce qu’elle va m’apporter et ça change tout !

### 5/5 — Meilleure appli programme runs !

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! C'est exactement l'idée derrière Bolty : un coach qui s'adapte vraiment à chaque runner. Ravie que l'analyse post-course vous motive, il y a encore plein de nouveautés à venir.
Bonne continuation dans votre reprise 💪
