Crusd is the hybrid training app for runners who lift. Running, strength, and conditioning β€” planned, tracked, and coached as one block, by an AI that runs entirely on your iPhone. Most apps make you choose: a running app OR a lifting app. Crusd treats them as one training life. Stack a marathon block with a push/pull strength plan, add conditioning, and let one coach balance the load. THREE DISCIPLINES. ONE APP. β€’ Running β€” 12-week periodized plans for 5K, 8K, 10K, 15K, Half Marathon, and Marathon, with build, peak, and taper phases. Novice to Advanced. β€’ Strength β€” Push/Pull splits and supersets with progressive overload. Log weights, track PRs, see your trends. β€’ Conditioning β€” HIIT and circuit work to build the engine for hybrid fitness races like Hyrox. AN AI COACH THAT RUNS ON YOUR PHONE Hit a new 5K PR? Crusd notices and celebrates it. Drifting into too many skipped rest days? It nudges you back. Every Sunday, a personalized weekly recap. All generated on-device with Apple Intelligence β€” nothing is sent to a server. KNOW WHEN TO PUSH, KNOW WHEN TO REST Every morning Crusd calculates a 0–100 readiness score from your HRV, resting heart rate, sleep, and recent training load. Five clear zones β€” Primed, Ready, Fair, Fatigued, Depleted β€” show exactly where your body stands. No junk metrics. TRAINING THAT ADAPTS TO YOU Woke up depleted? Your coach can swap today's intervals for an easy recovery run β€” reading your readiness, load, and calendar to make context-aware suggestions. You stay in control: accept, modify, or dismiss. LIFE HAPPENS. SMART BREAKS ADJUST. Sick, injured, or traveling? Pause your plan and Crusd reschedules everything for your return, easing you back gradually instead of jumping to 100%. Race days are never moved. BUILT FOR APPLE β€’ One-tap workout start on Apple Watch via the Workout app β€’ Calendar sync for your planned sessions β€’ HealthKit activity on your dashboard β€’ Private iCloud sync across your devices SEE HOW YOU COMPARE β€” AGAINST YOURSELF Before each run, see your typical pace and lifetime best at that distance. After, see how today stacked up. Honest comparisons against your own history β€” not generic prescribed paces. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No cloud AI. No tracking. No ads. No third-party analytics. No backend servers. All AI analysis runs locally on your iPhone; your history syncs only through your private iCloud. Optional Face ID adds another layer. TRAIN IN YOUR LANGUAGE Full localization in 11 languages, with metric and imperial units. FREE FOREVER One active plan, novice running (5K–10K), all strength plans, novice conditioning, workout tracking, readiness score, calendar and Apple Watch sync, streaks, and share cards. CRUSD PRO All running levels and distances (5K–Marathon), multiple active plans, the full AI Coach (celebrations, recaps, warnings), adaptive scheduling, readiness-based adjustments, Smart Breaks, and recovery recommendations. β€” Subscription β€” Crusd Pro is $4.99/month or $34.99/year, with a 14-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

Hybrid Flow

Hybrid Flow is the training app for HYROX and hybrid athletes who want to control their rhythm, not just their time. TRAIN WITH A METRONOME Build sessions with runs, ergs, wall balls, sleds and rests, and give each block its own cadence. The metronome and voice cues keep you on pace, even with the screen locked. Or start from the HYROX templates β€” full simulation, compromised running, sleds, ergs and wall balls β€” with the official weights for your division. FIND YOUR OPTIMAL CADENCE The cadence test runs stages of rising or falling cadence at a constant effort while it records your heart rate. Hybrid Flow finds the cadence where your heart works least, the optimal zone around it and your cardiac drift, and sets it as your metronome with one tap. MEASURE YOUR CADENCE BY TAPPING Tap along to any movement to get its BPM and how consistent you are. SEE WHERE YOU LOSE PACE Every result shows the time of each block and round, the drop-off from the first round to the last, the comparison with your previous run, your personal records and your heart rate per block. APPLE WATCH Train from your wrist with the metronome, the countdown and a big live heart rate. Results reach your iPhone on their own. Or keep the iPhone as your screen and get heart rate from your Apple Watch or a Bluetooth chest strap. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Sessions, results, analyses and tests sync with iCloud across your iPhone and iPad, and workouts are saved in Apple Health. FREE AND PRO Free: unlimited cadence analyses, 1 saved session and 30 days of history. Hybrid Flow Pro unlocks unlimited sessions and every HYROX template, your full history, drop-off and comparisons, live heart rate, the cadence test and the Apple Watch app. Choose monthly, annual (with a one-week free trial) or lifetime.
