Training Today constantly monitors your Health Data from Apple Watch to determine your readiness to train (RTT) each day and throughout the day. Training Today can help you stay safe from overtraining injury or let you know if it’s the best time to work hard, take it easy, or have a rest day. Developed with British Triathlon Coaches and tested on athletes of varying ability, we have taken a holistic view of your life by using the advanced capabilities of Apple Watch to monitor your health 24hrs a day and process that data to create a simple, accurate readiness to train (RTT) score to help you reach your training goal.

Stop digging through your fitness app to find the numbers that actually matter to you. Runalyzer pulls your workouts straight from Apple Health and puts the stats you care about on one screen — always up to date, exactly the way you want them. Build your own dashboard of workout tiles. Each one answers a specific question: How many miles have I run this month? How many 5Ks have I done this year? What's my weekly cycling distance? Tap + and tell Runalyzer what you want to track — it does the rest. Every tile is yours to configure Choose what to display (total distance or workout count), which activities to include (running, walking, hiking, or cycling), your time range, and your preferred units. Add a custom name and pick a color. Stack as many tiles as you want and drag them into the order that makes sense to you. Set a goal, watch it fill Add an optional goal to any tile and a progress ring appears. Hit it and Runalyzer celebrates. Set repeating goals and they reset automatically — your weekly mileage goal is ready again every Monday without you touching a thing. On your home screen Add a Runalyzer widget to your iPhone home screen and your metric is always visible — current value and goal progress, right there without opening the app. Add as many widgets as you like, one for each metric you want at a glance. Dig into any metric Tap a tile to see the full story: your total front and center, average distance, average pace or speed, and a complete list of every workout that went into the number. Sort by date, distance, or pace. Group by day, week, month, or year to see how your training adds up over time. Two charts — distance and pace or speed — show how you're trending. Only count what qualifies Distance filters let you tell Runalyzer exactly which workouts belong in a tile. Count only your 5K efforts, only your long runs, only your rides over 30 km — you set the rules. Pace or speed, your call Running and walking metrics show pace. Cycling metrics show speed. Or override any tile to display whichever you prefer. Your data stays on your phone Runalyzer reads directly from Apple Health and does everything locally. No account. No server. No ads. Apple Health's own permissions control what the app can see. Available in English, Spanish, French, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Training Today at Free against Runalyzer's $1.99. Training Today also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 6). Runalyzer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and chart position (#149 vs unranked). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Training Today holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Training Today has 2.6K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Training Today's written reviews are positive against 60% of Runalyzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Training Today ships an update every 6 weeks, Runalyzer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
