Run Plan vs Marathon Coach

Run Plan is the Apple Watch–first training planner with no account, no ads, and no subscription. Train for 5K, 10K, half marathon, or the full 42.2K with personalized plans that fit your schedule. Your training data stays in Apple Health, on your device. BUILT FOR APPLE WATCH Plan from your iPhone, run from your wrist. Start workouts, follow guided intervals, or go for a spontaneous run — all directly from your Apple Watch. No phone needed on the run. TRAIN AT THE RIGHT INTENSITY Every workout is guided by heart rate zones or target pace, so you always run at the right effort. Easy runs stay easy. Threshold runs hit their targets. Intervals are timed and zoned. No guesswork — and pacing that guards you against overtraining. PLANS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE Pick your goal, your race date, and your weekly schedule. Get a clear day-by-day plan with phases that build base, sharpen speed, and peak you for race day. Life happens? Move runs around your week with one tap. Your calendar always shows exactly what's next. Missed a few weeks or crushed a time trial? Run Plan can smartly recalibrate your target paces to match your current fitness level — but you always preview and approve every change. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Track your fitness trend, training load, and pace dynamics as you train. The Progress view provides deep analytics to help you balance effort and recovery, and compares your planned vs. actual weekly volume. Plus, stay on top of your schedule with Home Screen widgets that show today's run and your week at a glance.
