Better results. Less grind. Fewer injuries. Because training should fit your life, not take it over. Running isn't about how far and how much your body can do; it's about how smart you can move and your love for the sport. RunDot technology interprets what the watch can't and personalizes what other apps can only automate. We turn data into direction. We turn effort into genuine and sustainable progress. So you can train less, perform better, and stay strong enough to do it again tomorrow. RunDot is powered by FitLogic™—the only AI model built just for endurance athletes, trained on 20+ years of real performance data. It analyzes billions of data points such as your performance, recovery patterns, schedule, and even the weather you're running in to build training that's individually optimized for you. The result: Our runners typically train up to 30% less than those on other apps, while achieving better race results and fewer injuries. HOW RUNDOT WORKS: Most running apps automate templates. RunDot optimizes for you. After each logged workout, RunDot analyzes dozens of variables: your pace progression, heart rate response, completion rate, recovery signals, training consistency, and more. Then it adjusts your upcoming workouts—intensity, volume, timing—to match where you are right now, not where a static training plan thinks you should be. Running in 95° heat? Training at altitude? Coming back from a missed week? RunDot's technology automatically adjusts your training for environmental conditions and life realities. You don't input anything. It already knows. WHAT MAKES RUNDOT DIFFERENT: Real-Time Adaptation: Your plan evolves after every single run. Other apps adjust weekly or when you tell them something changed. RunDot already knew yesterday what you need today. Precision Training: Every workout has a specific purpose in your progression. No junk miles. No guessing. Just the right training at the right time. Built on Decades of Data: RunDot isn't marketing hype. It wasn’t born yesterday like many other apps. It's trained on 20+ years of actual athlete data—what works, what doesn't, and what keeps runners healthy. Environorm Technology: Your training automatically adjusts for heat, humidity, altitude, and changing conditions. Train optimally year-round, wherever you run. Any Distance, Any Level: From your first 5K to your next ultra marathon, RunDot scales intelligence to your ability. Elite-level optimization made accessible for 5K training, 10K training, half marathon training, marathon training, and ultra distances. WHAT'S INCLUDED: • Adaptive training plans for all distances (5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, ultra) • Workout-by-workout guidance with specific paces and effort levels • Real-time plan adjustments after every logged run • Environorm environmental adaptation • Recovery protocols and taper optimization • Training load management • Advanced run tracking, progress monitoring, and performance analytics • Race prediction and pacing strategies • 14-day free trial—no credit card required DEVICE INTEGRATION: Seamlessly syncs with Garmin, Apple Watch, COROS, Fitbit, and Strava. RunDot works with your existing setup—just connect and train. FOR RUNNERS WHO: • Want to train smarter, not just harder • Are tired of one-size-fits-most training plans and static running programs • Need training that adapts to their real life • Want to reduce injury risk while improving performance • Value their time and want optimal training efficiency • Value all the data, but want an app that interprets it for them START YOUR 14-DAY FREE TRIAL Experience intelligent training.

The coach that tells you why. Every plan app adjusts. Treadly is the running coach that tells you why each run is there, puts every change to you before it makes it, and keeps a record of how its calls held up. The way a human coach would, on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Every run has a reason. Today's run says why it exists. Trimmed to 4.2 miles at readiness 36. Eased twenty seconds a mile for the heat. Every number that comes from the research opens to the paper behind it, and the week header shows the climb cap out loud. Readiness comes from your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate in Apple Health. Coach calls. A bad night, a heat wave, a missed run, a sore knee. The coach proposes a change and waits. Accept or undo. Hurt, sick, or life keeps your streak safe. If a change would be too small to notice, it does not ask at all. A coach on the record. Every call and your answer go on the record. "You took the ease-day call 8 times. Next runs averaged B+." Called vs ran grades the coach's own pace calls against what you ran. Your race confidence comes with a finish window that narrows as race day nears, and locks two weeks out so you cannot cram. Someone can see your run. Free. Add up to three safety contacts. When you run, they can follow a live page that opens in any browser, no app and no account. Slide for SOS on your phone, your watch, or the Lock Screen and they hear first, with your location and your local emergency number one tap away. If your phone goes silent, they get a text, and one more when you are back. On race day, make a link from your race letter and send it to anyone: they see where you are on the course and your projected finish. The run itself. Treadly records the run, on your watch or just your phone. Two real voices in your ear, never a robot. Pace and heart-rate zones on your wrist, reps counted as you run them, and auto-pause that waits for you. If you live on Strava, Garmin, or COROS, connect once and it all flows in. Plans for any race. 5K to marathon, from your pace today. Compare coaching approaches with real numbers before you commit. Strength days live on the plan too, timed from your wrist. New to running? Your first month on the ladder is free. Shoes, free forever. Every pair gets a role. Treadly spreads the miles so shoes wear out on schedule instead of by surprise, and tells you when one is done. Run with people. Send a run to a friend and it lands on both plans, your long run included. They get two weeks of Pro when they join. Pair with one partner who sees the shape of your week and hears when a run goes by. What is free, what is Pro. Shoes, readiness, the science library, and safety contacts are free. The coach's calls, the record, inviting a friend, and a partner are Pro, after a 14-day trial that starts with your first run. $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Treadly depends on your phone's signal and battery and is not a substitute for emergency services. Coaching is grounded in published training science and is not medical advice.
