The plan adapts. You show up. RunV is the AI running coach that builds your training around your life – and rebuilds it every time life happens. Miss a week, catch a cold, smash a long run: your plan recalibrates overnight so tomorrow's session fits the runner you are today. WHY RUNNERS SWITCH TO RUNV A PDF plan doesn't know you had a deadline or a newborn. Miss week three and every week after it is wrong – and that's where most runners quit. RunV's plan doesn't break. Every run you finish or skip feeds back into your coach, and your paces, distances and rest days are rebuilt for the week ahead. A COACH IN YOUR EAR, MID-RUN Live audio coaching on pace, heart rate and effort while you run. You'll be pushed when you've got more and pulled back before you blow up – like a coach running beside you, adjusting the plan on the fly. 5K → 10K → HALF → MARATHON → ULTRA • Coach-built plans for every distance, or "Run for fun" if there's no race in sight • Built from real coach and athlete data – intervals, tempo, long runs, recovery • Taper, pacing strategy and a predicted finish time, engineered backwards from the start line • Arrive at the corral knowing your goal splits RUNV ON APPLE WATCH Start, run and review from your wrist. Pace, distance, heart rate and splits at a glance – and every workout lands back in your plan automatically. WORKS WITH THE GEAR YOU OWN Garmin, Apple Watch, Strava, Fitbit, Polar and Apple Health. Push workouts to your watch, run, and sync the results straight back. Two-way, no manual entry. EVERY RUN, REVIEWED Live GPS tracking with distance, pace, splits, cadence, heart-rate zones, elevation and calories. After each run: your route map, pace chart and trends. Weekly insights show what improved, what's at risk and next week's focus. RUN WITH OTHERS Public groups, virtual challenges and badges to keep you accountable – with runners at your level. FREE TO RUN. FIRST WEEK ON US. GPS run tracking is free for life. Premium coaching – your adaptive plan, live audio coaching and weekly insights – is free for your first week. After that, choose Monthly, Quarterly or Annual, priced in your currency. Cancel anytime. WHAT RUNNERS SAY "Two weeks off with a chest infection used to mean restarting from scratch. RunV just re-ramped me – and I still ran a half-marathon PB six weeks later." – Sarah M., half marathon 1:52 "Being told to ease off in the first kilometre is the only reason I had anything left at the finish." – Dean R., 10K 44:31 Download RunV, answer a few questions about your goal, and your plan is ready before your shoes are laced.
