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.

About

AddFive

Read full description

Most fitness apps are built for one thing: either lifting, or running, or bodyweight. If you train across disciplines, you end up juggling two or three apps. AddFive tracks strength, calisthenics, running, and strongman in one app, with real progression logic. Not just a logbook. THE "JUST ADD 5" PHILOSOPHY β€’ Hit your reps, the app adds weight next session. Miss too many times, it deloads you. β€’ After each workout, a progression screen shows what changed: Bench Press 200lbs β†’ 205lbs, Push-ups Regular β†’ Incline, pace improved by 5 sec/mi. Accept or skip each one. β€’ Want full control? The Progression Rule Editor lets you configure the algorithm, target reps, increments, and deload triggers per exercise. β€’ Just Add 5 (lbs | mi | min). ~30 BUILT-IN PROGRAMS β€’ 6 categories: Barbell Strength, Bodybuilding, Bodyweight, Running, Hybrid Training, Strongman. β€’ Each comes with coach's notes, form cues, common errors, and auto-calculated warmup sets. β€’ Run multiple programs at once: strength + running + calisthenics, all active. β€’ There's one tier past Advanced. You'll know when you're ready ;). THE WORKOUT PLAYER β€’ Works like a music app: each exercise gets its own screen. Pause, skip, go back, or end early. β€’ Each discipline gets its own view: animated plate visualizer for barbell, variant progression ladder for calisthenics, live GPS map for running, full-screen timer for HIIT. β€’ Hand-drawn illustrations, form cues, and common errors for every exercise. β€’ 12 in-app tutorial videos walk through every feature from first workout to custom programs. 5 VOICE COACHES β€’ Pick your motivation style: Coach Fury (intense, demands greatness), Broo! (meathead energy, adds plates), Dr. Load (science-speak, VOβ‚‚ talk), Sunshine (calm, meditative), or Officer GainZ (law enforcement metaphors, third person). β€’ Hundreds of unique pre-recorded lines. Your music keeps playing underneath. LIVE ACTIVITIES β€’ Three color-coded states: green to complete a set, orange for rest countdown, yellow for warmup. β€’ Your phone stays in your pocket the entire session. GO DEEP β€’ History charts per exercise with time filters. Running splits into Pace, Distance, and Duration. β€’ Interactive muscle map on front/back anatomical figures. β€’ PR toast when you hit a new record mid-workout. NO ACCOUNT. NO CLOUD. β€’ SwiftData, local storage. Your data stays on your device. β€’ Export programs as .addfive files to share or back up. Import in one tap. CSV export for spreadsheet lovers. β€’ Subscription or lifetime, your call. APPLE HEALTH β€’ Built on Apple's workout engine. Sets, runs, and rest periods tracked as proper workouts. Just Add 5 (lbs | mi | min). Terms of Use: https://addfive.app/terms/
