Stop running blind. Bolty is your personal running coach: it breaks down every run, rewrites your training plan week after week, and actually talks to you, before, during and after your session ! Connect Strava, Garmin or your Apple Watch and finally understand what your training really means. Bolty doesn't just throw numbers at you: it tells you why yesterday's session was a good one, what you can change tomorrow, and how you're really progressing. WHY YOU'LL LOVE BOLTY: - Detailed analysis of every run. Pace by km, heart rate zones, cardiac drift, elevation, gradient-adjusted pace: Bolty breaks down your run and explains it in plain language. Your intervals are even auto-detected and shown as "6 × 400 m + recovery", without a high-end watch. - A training plan that rewrites itself every week. Not a static PDF. Bolty builds your program week by week based on what you actually just ran: real pace, heart rate, perceived effort, training load. The plan lives with you, not the other way around. - Missing a session never breaks your plan. Busy week, fatigue, life getting in the way: your plan extends, no guilt-tripping. You can even talk to Bolty in plain language ("I'm wiped this week, ease off") and it will reshuffle the sessions ahead. - Real proof that you're getting better. Bolty only compares what's actually comparable — same effort types, similar distances — and delivers concrete verdicts: "-15 s/km at a lower heart rate vs a month ago". You see in black and white that you're moving forward. - Built-in GPS tracking. Start your run straight from the app, with Bluetooth heart rate sensor support. And share your best runs in one tap, dropped onto your photo. WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR: Bolty connects to Strava, Garmin and Apple Watch to pull in your data automatically. No need to change your habits. WHO IT'S FOR: - You're (re)starting running and afraid you'll do it wrong. - You've been running on feel for months without knowing if you're improving. - You're training for a goal — 5K, 10K, half, marathon, trail. Whatever your level, Bolty adapts. A real coach in your pocket, on every run. Download it, connect your watch, your next run will tell you everything. BOLTY PRO: Full access to Bolty requires a Bolty Pro subscription, available monthly or annually, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. Prices for your region are shown in the app before you confirm. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
