## What is Samado?

Samado actually makes you run - and it does it with a plan, not with confetti.

Whether you're starting out, chasing your first 10K, or prepping for a half marathon in "this time it's happening" mode, Samado builds your training around YOU. Not around some fictional runner who sleeps 9 hours a night and has never met a sore quad.

AN AI COACH WHO WON'T BABY YOU
Meet Mado, your AI coach. He's available 24/7, he's brutally honest, and he is absolutely judging you. Ask him about tomorrow's session at 11pm and he'll answer - then quietly note that you're still awake instead of resting. No fake "great job!", no participation trophies. Just cold, useful truth. You'll hate him a little. You'll improve a lot.

SESSIONS BUILT FOR YOUR LEGS
Intervals, hills, easy runs... every session has a purpose, and your paces are personalized to your level and how you feel. No more "I run fast" without knowing what "fast" actually means.

A COACH IN YOUR EAR
Audio cues and vibrations during your effort: Samado guides you in real time while you wonder why you picked the most painful sport on the planet. (Spoiler: because it pays off.)

HEART RATE ZONES AND REAL DATA
Track your heart rate zones, analyze your runs, and watch your progress in black and white. Numbers don't lie - at least they don't.

SYNCS WITH YOUR GEAR
Apple Health, Strava... Samado connects to what you already use. Your runs sync automatically, because manually re-entering a workout, come on, it's 2026.

REPLAYS WORTH BRAGGING ABOUT
Relive and share your runs. Because a good run you didn't post - does it really count?

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, and Indonesian. Your excuses are universal - but we've got a plan for those too.

SAMADO - Train seriously. Without taking yourself seriously.

Made by people who actually run, for people who want to run better.

HealthKit integration
Samado integrates HealthKit to log your running sessions and pull your runs made out of the app.

FAQ

Does it adapt to me? Yes. The plan evolves with your progress and how you feel - not the other way around.

What if I miss a session? Mado will know. Mado always knows. And Mado will mention it.

### 5/5 — Mon coach du quotidien

*2026-07-28*

J’ai repris la course à pied après une blessure avec Samado. Intuitif, réel coach qui structure mes entraînements, suit ma progression et parfois même me motive. J’apprécie le modèle d’achat unique plutôt qu’un abonnement car je cours depuis 10 ans et ne compte pas m’arrêter donc c’est un investissement équivalent à une paire de chaussette de course à pied. Foncez !

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire qui fait énormément plaisir 🙏 Samado a été conçu pour permettre à toutes et tous de pratiquer la course.

### 5/5 — Un vrai programme à suivre

*2026-07-21*

Ça m’a permis de reprendre en douceur ma prépa de foot pour la saison prochaine, sans avoir à réfléchir à quel exercice faire

**Developer response:** Merci pour ce commentaire. Le football est en effet un sport qui demande de la discipline en course, et Samado est là pour répondre à ce besoin! 🏃
