## What is RunWay?

A real coach in your earbuds, every run.

RunWay follows your run live (GPS, heart rate, cadence) and talks to you at the right moment: kilometer splits, pace, heart rate zones, guided intervals, encouragement. It lowers your music while it speaks, then gives it back.

A COACH THAT KNOWS YOU
• Reads your daily readiness from Health (HRV, sleep, resting heart rate) and adapts its advice.
• Ask it anything with the mic while you run: "How am I doing?"
• Pick its personality: no-mercy drill sergeant, motivator, analytical, zen, supportive… even jokester.
• Ultra-natural voices (ElevenLabs), in English or French, even offline.

PLANS THAT ADAPT
• First 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon: a week-by-week plan with your own paces.
• Trail and ultra, from 5 to over 200 km with elevation gain: hills, power hiking, long runs planned in hours.
• Something hurts? Report it: your plan eases off right away, then guides your comeback step by step.
• Set your own long-run length: feel like 20 km today? Your call.
• Missed a workout, low on energy? The plan adjusts itself.
• Pacer mode keeps you on your target time, to the second. Race day mode: smart start, drink reminders, strong finish.

ROUTES
• Loops suggested for today's workout, with voice turn-by-turn guidance.
• GPX export and import for your watch (Garmin, COROS, Suunto…).

ALL YOUR STATS
• Live map with your route colored by pace.
• Pace, heart rate and zones, cadence, stride, elevation, splits, finish prediction.
• History, personal records, weekly progress, achievements to unlock.
• Saves to Apple Health, Live Activity on the Lock Screen, Siri.

FREE, WITH AI COACHING WHEN YOU WANT IT
The app is free, and your coach always talks to you, with lines pre-recorded by an ElevenLabs voice, even offline. For the AI coach (tailor-made cues, spoken live), you get free coaching time when you sign up, then top up if you like: 3, 10 or 30 hours, no subscription, no expiry.

Training and wellness only: RunWay is not a substitute for medical advice.

Privacy: your runs stay on your iPhone and in your account. With your permission, the AI coach uses Claude (Anthropic) to write and ElevenLabs to speak. Nothing is sold.

RUNWAY CLUB, RUN WITH YOUR FRIENDS (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION)
• Challenge a friend to a duel on one of your runs: they race it in Rematch mode, the coach calls out the gap live, and rematches go both ways.
• Start a private crew (2 to 50 people): weekly leaderboard, shared goal, crew challenges (most kilometers, consistency, best 5K or 10K).
• Your coach talks about your crew while you run.
No public feed, no likes. Receiving and running a duel a friend sent you is free. AI coaching time is not included.

• Fixes and improvements.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-25

What's new in 1.3: the RunWay community, private and in your ears.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-24

What's new in 1.2:

• A real voice, all the time: your coach only speaks with ElevenLabs voices, even offline (Maxime, Adina, Liam and Jessica work without a connection), and the whole voice library is yours to choose from.
• "Listen" now reads the coach's long replies in one go.
• Set your workout length: a 20 km long run, an easy run by time, free-run goals of 15 km, half marathon or custom, and an adjustable session of the day in your plan.
• Dynamic Island: app notifications come out of it, and your run lives there (kilometer ring, coach speaking, interval countdown).
• A cleaner Home when you pull to refresh, plus fixes.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-23

What's new in 1.1:

• Trail and ultra: pick your race, from 5 to over 200 km, and its elevation gain. A tailored plan (hills, power hiking, downhills, back-to-back long runs), long runs in hours for ultras, and a coach that calls out elapsed time and your climbing.
• GPX: export your routes to your watch (Garmin, COROS, Suunto…) or import your race course and get voice guidance.
• Pain and comeback: report a niggle and your plan adapts right away (no long runs or intervals), then a gradual run/walk return. A gentle restart after a long break.
• Cross-training: cycling, swimming or elliptical as replacements, checked off from Apple Health.
• Connections: your watches and apps linked through Apple Health (Apple Watch, Garmin, COROS, Polar, Suunto, Wahoo, Zepp) and one-tap import of your runs.
• Fixes and improvements.
