RunCraft adapts to how you run: start with guided run-walk training, prepare for a goal race, or run your own way. Download free. Your 21-day Full Experience starts when you first get RunCraft from the App Store, not when you first open it. Afterward, keep importing Apple Health workouts and viewing basic history, VDOT, and mileage for free, or unlock Lifetime with one purchase. No subscription. No automatic renewal. Guided workouts run on iPhone, and can also be sent to Apple Watch for haptics, heart rate, voice cues, and on-wrist controls. Live Activity keeps pace, heart rate, and interval progress visible on your iPhone lock screen and Dynamic Island. ——— CHOOSE YOUR PATH ——— Start as a Beginner: answer a short questionnaire to build run-walk training around your current habits, with 1–3 sessions per week. No race date or target pace is required, and the guidance adjusts as you progress. Train for a Race: enter a race date and recent result — or use one from HealthKit — and RunCraft builds a personalised plan from your remaining lead time using Jack Daniels VDOT pace zones. Run Your Own Way: during Full Experience or with Lifetime, start free runs without a schedule and add an optional weekly routine when you want more structure. In Free Mode, record with Apple Workout or another HealthKit app; RunCraft keeps importing time, distance, pace, heart rate, and trends. ——— TRAIN ON IPHONE OR APPLE WATCH ——— Start structured workouts directly on iPhone, or send them to your paired Apple Watch. Watch workouts add wrist haptics, heart-rate context, and water-lock friendly controls; iPhone workouts still save to Apple Health and appear in your history. ——— INSIGHTS ——— VDOT trend, VO₂max estimate, LT1/LT2 lactate threshold, running economy, heart rate recovery, training zone distribution, weekly mileage, and predicted race times for 5K / 10K / half marathon / marathon — all computed from your Health data, all on-device. ——— BUILT FOR RUNNERS ——— · Beginner guidance, race training, and, during Full Experience or with Lifetime, free runs with an optional weekly routine · Super slow jogging presets plus structured workouts such as Yasso 800s, Mona Fartlek, Michigan Workout, Cruise Intervals, Hill Repeats, Speed Pyramid, Ladder, Progression Run, Tempo Run, and Easy Recovery · Custom workout editor: build warmup → repeat groups → cooldown with distance, time, and pace-zone targets · Phone-native guided workouts and Apple Watch guided workouts · Session substitution for compatible planned workouts · HRV-aware recovery suggestions when sleep or recovery signals drop · Live Activity on iPhone lock screen and Dynamic Island · Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets showing today's session · Siri shortcuts for today's training, starting workouts, setting VDOT, and logging runs ——— PRIVACY ——— No RunCraft account, no developer-operated server, and no advertising or third-party analytics. Training data stays on your devices; if you enable iCloud, it syncs between them through your private iCloud database. Available in English · 繁體中文 · 简体中文 · 日本語 · 한국어
