As a fellow runner, I understand the desire to lace up and hit the road. But I also know the frustration of guessing—guessing what to wear, guessing how the weather will affect your run, and guessing how much fuel you actually need. That’s why I created RunPrep. Originally designed to solve the "what to wear and what to bring" problem, RunPrep has evolved into a complete smart-assistant for your running performance. We use the same highly accurate weather data you trust on your iPhone to help you plan every aspect of your run. NEW FEATURES: • Weather-Adjusted Pace Calculator: Don't fight the heat—adjust to it. Our new algorithm calculates exactly how humidity, dew point, and temperature impact your performance, giving you a realistic "adjusted pace" so you can train smarter and avoid burnout. • Precision Gel Calculator: Stop guessing your nutrition. Input your body weight and carb requirements to generate a personalized fueling strategy. Know exactly how many gels to carry to avoid "hitting the wall" during long runs and races. CORE FEATURES: • Smart Clothing Recommendations: Get ideal outfit suggestions based on real-time weather conditions. • Safety First: Receive automatic alerts for extreme conditions, including heat risk, lightning, and high UV. • Race Ready: Plan your race day logistics with checklists for hydration, energy gels, and essential items. • Privacy Focused: No tracking, no data selling. Everything stays on your device. Whether you are a casual jogger or chasing a BQ, RunPrep ensures you step out the door confident, fueled, and paced perfectly for the conditions.
