ZoneVibe vs BetterRunning

Rest by heart rate, not by the clock. A 90-second rest timer doesn't know whether today is a good day or a bad day. Your heart does. ZoneVibe watches your heart rate between sets and rounds, and taps your wrist the moment you've recovered. That's your signal to go again. No staring at your watch. No guessing. Just train, rest, feel the buzz, repeat. How it works? Pick your workout type: Strength, Functional, or anything else - Set your rest minimum (for example, 100 bpm) - Start from your iPhone, or tap "Start last zone" on your Apple Watch. No phone needed - Rest after each set. When your heart rate drops to your minimum, the watch vibrates. Go. - On a strong day you recover faster and get more work done. On a tired day you rest a little longer. Rest time that adapts to you, automatically. Built for • Strength and functional training: rest until you're ready for the next heavy set • CrossFit and hybrid training: go again when your engine is ready, not when a timer says so • Circuits, kettlebells and HIIT: recovery-based intervals instead of fixed ones • Boxing, MMA and combat rounds: know when you're ready for the next round • Team-sport conditioning: repeat efforts on real recovery Also a heart rate guardrail! The same wrist tap works both ways: • Above: buzz when you've recovered down to your minimum (rest intervals) • Below: buzz when you go over a ceiling (Zone 2, easy runs, staying under a personal limit) • Between: stay inside a range (steady-state cardio) Set zones in BPM or as a percentage of your max heart rate. The built-in calculator includes 220 − Age, Tanaka, Gellish and Nes formulas, plus quick Zone 1–5 presets. Designed for the gym floor • Clear haptic cues, so your eyes stay on the bar • Color-coded watch screen, readable at a glance • Smart hints: if your heart rate never came down to your minimum, ZoneVibe tells you and suggests a better setting for next time • Every session saved to Apple Health See your training (Pro) • Unlimited workout history with detailed stats per session • Time in, above and below your zone, plus peak, average and lowest heart rate • Training load, intensity heatmaps and heart rate distribution • Weekly and monthly progress trends and personal records • Presets: save "Heavy Squat Day", "Circuit Intervals" or "Zone 2 Walk" and start with one tap • CSV export Pay once.

BetterRunning is an AI running coach for iPhone and Apple Watch. It doesn't hand you a generic 12-week plan — it builds one around your body, and adjusts it every morning based on how you actually slept, how your heart is recovering, how much you've trained, and how the weather looks for today's session. HOW IT WORKS When you set a goal — a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or just getting fitter — BetterRunning reads your recent runs, last night's sleep, your heart-rate variability and resting heart rate, and your weekly volume from Apple Health. Your AI coach turns that into a multi-week plan, sized for you. Every morning, before you lace up, BetterRunning reads back from Apple Health: - HRV (heart rate variability) — your nervous system's readiness signal - Sleep — duration and stages from your watch - Resting heart rate and recent training load - Today's weather, the moment you open the app Those inputs become a readiness score, a short explanation in plain language, and — if needed — an adjusted version of today's session. If your HRV is suppressed and you slept poorly, tomorrow's tempo run becomes today's easy 25 minutes. If you're firing on all cylinders, the coach tells you to go. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most running apps adapt after your run. BetterRunning adapts BEFORE it. EVERY WORKOUT COUNTS Your body doesn't know which workouts were runs. A long ride, a swim or a strength session counts towards your training load and your readiness, and Progress shows each week split between running and other training — so a jump after a big ride explains itself. AFTER EACH RUN The app celebrates your good ones from your real performance — not vague benchmarks. The AI gives specific feedback referencing your actual numbers. A COACH THAT LISTENS - Tell your coach "I'm travelling next week" or "make it easier this block" and get back a clean, confirmed change to your remaining sessions. It remembers why. - Edit a session your coach softened and it acknowledges your choice. - Cycle-aware coaching, opt-in. The phase is worked out on your phone; your dates and flow data never leave it. - Race time projections for every distance, refreshed daily as your fitness changes. ON THE WATCH Start a tracked run from your wrist. Live pace, heart rate, distance. Interval mode shows the rep you're in and the recovery left. Distinct haptics for every kilometre. Workouts, GPS routes and energy save into Apple Health as first-party data. HELP IS IN THE APP Profile → Help & support: a searchable FAQ, how-to guides and a contact form. No browser needed.
