Your race. Your plan. Your canvas. Runvas builds a week-by-week training plan for your next race, then turns every workout into a route worth running: a heart through your neighborhood, a star around the park, or a word written across the city. — TRAIN FOR YOUR RACE — • PLANS FROM 5K TO ULTRA Pick your race (5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon or ultra), your race day and your experience level. Runvas builds a plan around the days you can actually run. • KNOW TODAY'S WORKOUT Easy runs, tempo, intervals, long runs and rest days, each with a distance, an estimated time and a target pace. Interval days break down into warm-up, main set and cool-down. • A PLAN THAT ADAPTS Skip a day and Runvas rebalances the week. Mark workouts done as you go, and run more than one plan if you're training for more than one race. • OPTIONAL STRENGTH DAYS Add short strength sessions for hips, glutes and core alongside your runs. — RUN SOMETHING WORTH RUNNING — • EVERY WORKOUT, A ROUTE Tap "Find routes" and today's distance becomes a shape snapped to real, runnable streets. • DRAW ANY SHAPE Sketch freehand or pick a heart, circle, star or your own photo, and Runvas turns it into a route sized to your distance. • WRITE WITH YOUR FEET Type a word and Runvas plots each letter across the map. • PREVIEW, THEN RUN Watch your route play out before you head outside, track your run, and export GPX to your watch or favorite running app. — MADE FOR iPHONE DUO — Unfold iPhone Duo and your plan docks right beside the map, with route controls kept clear of the fold. — PRIVACY — Your routes and plans live on your device. We don't sell your location or share your data, and you don't need an account. Runvas is free. Questions or a great route to share? Reach us at hello@runvas.app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Runvas at every 2 days against Garmin Clipboard™'s every 6 weeks. Runvas also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 46%). Garmin Clipboard™'s advantage is ratings volume (899 vs 4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
