## What is Palma Running?

Palma trains the whole person: an AI running coach for the body, and a place for the soul.

MEET SEBASTIAN, YOUR AI COACH
Tell Sebastian what you're training for, whether that's your first mile, a 5K, or a marathon, and he builds your week: easy runs, tempo, strides, long runs. Then he speaks to you once a day. Terse, honest, no hype. Show up today. That is the whole assignment.

TRACK EVERY WORKOUT
Start a run and Palma records your route, distance, and pace, even with your screen locked. Runs, walks, lifts, pickleball. If you moved, it counts. Location is tracked only while a workout you started is in progress, never otherwise.

BRING IN YOUR APPLE WATCH
Palma reads workouts and heart rate from Apple Health, so everything recorded on your watch lands in the app automatically. Read-only: Palma never writes to your Health data.

KEEP THE FAITH
Prayer, fasting, feast days, daily readings. The life of the soul lives beside your miles. Offer a run for someone. Keep St. Michael's Lent. Pray the day's Rosary. Discipline counts the days you showed up, not points.

SHARE WITH YOUR CIRCLE
Share a workout, a photo, a palm of encouragement with the people you train and pray alongside, and no one else. Nothing you record is public.

SEND RUNS TO STRAVA
Connect Strava if you like, and upload the runs you choose.

BUILT PLAIN AND PRIVATE
No ads. No trackers. No selling of data. Read the whole policy at palmarum.dev/privacy.

From Palmarum, for the body and the soul.
