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.

RunWill builds your running plan around you — from your very first run to race day. START FROM ZERO Never run before? The First Run Challenge takes you there in five small steps: a short guide, a how-to-run video, a run-ready checklist, your first run, and how it felt. A PLAN THAT FITS YOUR WEEK Tell RunWill your goal — start running, 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon — how you run now and which days work for you. Your plan moves through Base, Build, Peak and Taper, with walk/run intervals for beginners and a taper before race day. Each week shows what you planned and what you actually ran. A COACH THAT EXPLAINS Make a run easier or harder, move it, change your training days, adapt next week, or rebuild after missed runs. Your coach proposes the change, shows exactly what changes and why, and nothing happens until you accept. Every plan is checked against safety limits: rest days every week, no hard days back to back, weekly distance up by no more than about 10%. Ask your coach about pace, effort, breathing or recovery — typed or out loud, up to 15 questions a day, answered with your plan and recent runs in mind. The AI coach is optional: you choose whether your plan answers and questions are shared with our AI provider, and you can change it any time in Settings. YOUR COACH IN YOUR EAR The voice coach talks you through each run: every interval step, every kilometer or mile, your pace against the target, and a short recap at the end. Your music keeps playing, a little quieter while your coach speaks. Mid-run, tap Ask your coach and ask out loud. LEAGUES THAT KEEP YOU GOING Every run earns XP for time on your feet, so beginners and marathoners compete fairly. Seasons last two weeks; the top 3 of each group move up from GO to 5K, 10K, 21K and 42K. RECORD YOUR RUNS GPS recording with live time, distance and pace, step-by-step guidance through intervals, splits and your route on a map. Follow your time, distance, pace and interval step on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you run. Forgot your phone? Add a run by hand. Say how each run felt — your coach uses it. Share a run as an image with your route. IN YOUR LANGUAGE RunWill and your coach speak English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese. RUNWILL PRO RunWill Pro opens the whole app: your full plan, run recording, the First Run Challenge, Coach’s Picks, every coach change, the coach chat and the voice coach. Every screen is there to look around first; the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
