## What is RUNNERS HIGH?

RUNNERS HIGH turns sound into a running tool: music designed around how you actually run, train and race. It runs the session with you, so you stop managing your run and just run it.
Made in-house. Built for the run itself. Tested with runners.

MUSIC MADE FOR RUNNING
Most music you run to wasn't made for running. Songs end too soon for you to get into a rhythm, and playlists jump around in a way that breaks your stride and focus. RUNNERS HIGH is different: long-form audio journeys designed to keep you in a steady rhythm for the whole run.

NEW: INTERVAL SETS
Guided interval sessions you just press play on. Pick a workout (3×10, 5×5, 4×8 or 4×4). Music and voice cues drive the hard blocks, time your recoveries and count you through, so you never check your watch or time your own breaks. The music is built for the exact session: building through the work, easing through the rest.

NEW: RACE SETS
Pick a target finish time, like a sub-20 5K, press play at the start, and run to the beat. Race Sets are built around PR efforts and the points where a race gets hardest, with the music rising in intensity and cadence right where you need it. Available for the 5K and 10K.

CADENCE MUSIC (170 / 180 BPM)
Train your rhythm while you enjoy what you hear. Cadence music at 170 and 180 BPM helps you hold a steady beat and build cadence awareness, so it feels natural and not forced.

INTENSITY & EFFORT
From easy runs to hard tempo sessions, choose music matched to the effort of your run.

BUILD YOUR OWN RUNS
Create and save your own sessions from the RUNNERS HIGH catalogue. Shape your runs the way you want them.

MADE IN-HOUSE
Every track is produced by our own team. No usage of AI, we value full creative control for a consistent quality, and a sound made for running from the ground up.

COMPATIBLE DEVICES
RUNNERS HIGH works seamlessly with your iPhone.

### 2/5 — Ok mit KI

*2026-08-04*

Die App baut auf KI Musik. Leider nur Techno, House und ähnliches, was ich nicht mag. Dazu ist die Auswahl kleiner als gedacht. Fürs laufen war es ok, aber Tracklists kann ich mir auch selbst zusammenstellen. Nichts selbst gemachtes, kein Rock, kein Heavy, keine Gitarren. Für 70€ viel zu teuer. Testphase 30 Tage umsonst ist ok. Ich werde die App wieder löschen. Sie war ein Vorschlag von Brooks Running. Für mich keine Alternative zu handgemachter Musik.

### 5/5 — Wirklich cool um den Einstieg in Paces zu bekommen und konstant zu bleiben

*2026-04-22*

Ich nutze die App um mich ab Laufrythmen und paces zu gewönnen und orientiere mich am Beat. Meine normale Musik lenkt mich zu sehr ab, da ich mich zu sehr auf Lyrics konzentriere, hiermit geht es wirklich super gut !

### 2/5 — Gute Idee – unausgereifte Umsetzung

*2025-12-30*

Den Ansatz der App finde ich super: einfach auf Play klicken und loslaufen. Die Musik motiviert und unterstützt den Lauf. 

Leider hat die App noch viel Potenzial:
- ich laufe ohne iPhone, eine Apple Watch App gibt es aber nicht. 
- es gibt mehr als nur Easy (170 BPM) und Tempo (180 BPM) im Leben eines Läufers. Die Auswahl und Funktionalität der App ist aber begrenzt. Es gibt beispielsweise keine Möglichkeit, einen Lauf mit passender Musik für ein Warm-up, gefolgt von flotterer Musik für die Intervalle und einem anschließenden entspannten Cool down einzurichten. 
- aktuell ist die App nur eine einfache Musikapp. Die technischen Möglichkeiten werden nicht ausgeschöpft. Beispielsweise könnte sich die Musik an die Schrittfrequenz des Läufers anpassen. 
- Meine Go-to-App ist die Nike Running Club-App. Leider wird beim starten des Laufs die Musik von Runners High gestoppt und die Wiedergabe von Apple Music gestartet. Hier sollte sich das Team hinter Runners High um eine Integration in die wichtigsten Läufer-Apps bemühen. 

Nach meinem heutigen Test werde ich die App erstmal nicht weiter nutzen – vor allem die fehlende Apple Watch App ist für mich ein KO-Kriterium.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this.

RUNNERS HIGH only launched recently, in September 2025, and we are building the app fully self-funded. Because of that, we made a conscious decision to first focus on what we believe is the core value: creating high-quality, science-based running music that truly supports the run itself. From there, we are gradually expanding the app.

Your feedback is very valuable to us and aligns with features we are planning to build next. On our website, you will find more information about our future plans: www.runnershigh.music.

We are actively working on new functionality and will use input like yours to help shape our roadmap.

Thanks again for testing RUNNERS HIGH and sharing your experience!

### 5/5 — A strong alternative!

*2025-10-02*

I’ve been testing this app on multiple runs and comparing my performance with and without it.

While the music experience isn’t quite the same as listening on my usual streaming platform, the sound quality is still very good. You can feel that the curation of their music producers was well thought out.

What really stands out is how clearly it’s designed for runners. With their music, I find myself entering the zone within the first kilometer, whereas it normally takes me around 3 km to get there.

I also like that the tracks last 10–15 minutes.
It keeps me from breaking focus, unlike regular songs that usually run only 1–3 minutes.

Overall, it’s a great app that I’d recommend if you’re looking to improve the quality of your runs!
