Crusd
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 0β100 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.
