MyRunningPal is your personal running coach — an adaptive training partner that builds a plan toward your goal race, adjusts as you train, and shows exactly how ready you are for any distance. Whether you're chasing your first 5K or a marathon PR, MyRunningPal meets you where you are and grows with you. A COACH THAT ADAPTS TO YOU Tell us your goal and where your fitness is today, and MyRunningPal builds a personalized training plan to get you there. As you log runs, it re-evaluates your progress and adjusts the plan — adding speed work when you're ready, easing back when you need it — and explains what changed in plain language. No spreadsheets, no guesswork. Just a plan that evolves with every run. KNOW IF YOU'RE ON TRACK • Readiness across distances — see how prepared you are for a 5K, 10K, half, marathon, or any custom distance, based on both your endurance and your target pace. • Confidence gauge — a live "on track to finish" read that evolves as you complete workouts, so you always know where you stand against race day. • Personal fitness score — a single number that trends up as you get faster. RUN TRACKING WITH LIVE VOICE COACHING Track your runs with accurate GPS — route, distance, pace, and splits. On a workout day, MyRunningPal coaches you through it out loud: it calls out your warm-up, each interval and target pace, your recovery, and your cool-down as you hit them. On easy and long runs, it lets you know if you're on pace. Glance at your stats on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without unlocking your phone. • GPS tracking with route, pace, and splits • Spoken cues that guide you through your exact workout • Lock Screen Live Activity and Dynamic Island • Choose your coaching voice and how often you hear cues • Play your own music — cues duck it, then let it come back LOGGING THAT JUST WORKS Runs are yours, however you record them. Track in the app, enter a treadmill run by hand, or import from Apple Health — and runs automatically link to your plan days and mark them complete. MyRunningPal reads your runs from Apple Health and writes your runs back, so your nutrition apps and activity rings stay in sync. BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING • Weekly plan you can follow at a glance, with every session's structure and target paces • Resume after missed weeks — your plan re-anchors without starting over • Change your training days or race date anytime • Achievements — every goal you complete is saved with your stats and fitness gains • Fun milestones — "you've run the length of Central Park" • When you hit your goal, get a recommendation for what to train for next FREE TO START Generate your first full training plan free, and log and track all the runs you want.
