About

Longrun

You have never run a marathon. You have a date, a start line, and a number that looks impossible from where you are standing today. Longrun turns that into tomorrow morning. Tell it three things: what a good race looks like to you, how far you run right now, and which race you are training for. Longrun counts back from the real date and builds the twelve to twenty weeks in front of it. Three runs a week to start, every one of them easy. One long run every Sunday, growing about a mile at a time. A taper that arrives before you think you need it. Then it hands you one day at a time. A PLAN THAT MOVES WHEN YOU DO Every training plan meets real life somewhere around week three. Yours will too. Tell Longrun you missed a run and the week reshuffles itself. Miss a hard session and the next one becomes an easy run while the long run holds its distance. Miss a long run and next Sunday holds at this Sunday's number, and the growth waits a week. Miss two in a week and the following week eases about 10 percent, then rebuilds. Every change is shown to you, in a sentence, with the reason. Nothing disappears quietly. EVERY DAY, ON ONE SCREEN Today opens on the session you have, the pace range to hold it at, and roughly how long it will take. Underneath: your water, your food, last night's sleep and HRV, and this week's seven bars filling in. - Live run with GPS distance, pace, mile splits and cues that arrive when you need them - Fuel: a calorie and carb target that changes with the kind of day it is, and a meal plan you log with one tap - Body: sleep, HRV and resting heart rate from Apple Health, an acute-to-chronic training load ratio with the 0.8 to 1.3 sweet spot marked, and shoe mileage so you retire a pair before it retires you - Progress: total distance since week one, planned against done, longest run, easy pace, and a finish-time estimate built from the runs you have actually done RACE DAY, ALREADY REHEARSED Choose from 377 races, all seven World Marathon Majors among them, or type in your own name and date. From that moment the Race tab counts down. Your finish time, your pace per mile, how many gels to carry and roughly where to take them. A race-week checklist that opens seven days out: cut the volume, carb-load, pin the bib, oats and a banana three hours before, arrive 75 minutes early. Course profile, typical weather, your bib number and your wave. By race morning you will have practiced all of it. THIRTY-FOUR LANGUAGES, MILES OR KILOMETERS Longrun is fully translated into 34 languages and lays out right to left in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu. Switch between miles and kilometers whenever you like. WHAT LONGRUN LEAVES OUT No chatbot. No AI writing your training. No feed to scroll, no kudos, no follower count. A plan, the day in front of you, and a coach's voice saying the things a good coach says: go slower, eat something, get some sleep. LONGRUN PRO Longrun Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Start with 7 days free, then $39.99 per year. Or pay $2.99 for your first month and $39.99 per year after that. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. Manage your subscription and turn off auto-renew in your App Store account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Prices are in US dollars and vary by region. Terms of use: https://b2b83827-legal.app.amba.host/terms.html Privacy policy: https://b2b83827-legal.app.amba.host/privacy.html
