AddFive vs RunNerd

Most fitness apps are built for one thing: either lifting, or running, or bodyweight. If you train across disciplines, you end up juggling two or three apps. AddFive tracks strength, calisthenics, running, and strongman in one app, with real progression logic. Not just a logbook. THE "JUST ADD 5" PHILOSOPHY • Hit your reps, the app adds weight next session. Miss too many times, it deloads you. • After each workout, a progression screen shows what changed: Bench Press 200lbs → 205lbs, Push-ups Regular → Incline, pace improved by 5 sec/mi. Accept or skip each one. • Want full control? The Progression Rule Editor lets you configure the algorithm, target reps, increments, and deload triggers per exercise. • Just Add 5 (lbs | mi | min). ~30 BUILT-IN PROGRAMS • 6 categories: Barbell Strength, Bodybuilding, Bodyweight, Running, Hybrid Training, Strongman. • Each comes with coach's notes, form cues, common errors, and auto-calculated warmup sets. • Run multiple programs at once: strength + running + calisthenics, all active. • There's one tier past Advanced. You'll know when you're ready ;). THE WORKOUT PLAYER • Works like a music app: each exercise gets its own screen. Pause, skip, go back, or end early. • Each discipline gets its own view: animated plate visualizer for barbell, variant progression ladder for calisthenics, live GPS map for running, full-screen timer for HIIT. • Hand-drawn illustrations, form cues, and common errors for every exercise. • 12 in-app tutorial videos walk through every feature from first workout to custom programs. 5 VOICE COACHES • Pick your motivation style: Coach Fury (intense, demands greatness), Broo! (meathead energy, adds plates), Dr. Load (science-speak, VO₂ talk), Sunshine (calm, meditative), or Officer GainZ (law enforcement metaphors, third person). • Hundreds of unique pre-recorded lines. Your music keeps playing underneath. LIVE ACTIVITIES • Three color-coded states: green to complete a set, orange for rest countdown, yellow for warmup. • Your phone stays in your pocket the entire session. GO DEEP • History charts per exercise with time filters. Running splits into Pace, Distance, and Duration. • Interactive muscle map on front/back anatomical figures. • PR toast when you hit a new record mid-workout. NO ACCOUNT. NO CLOUD. • SwiftData, local storage. Your data stays on your device. • Export programs as .addfive files to share or back up. Import in one tap. CSV export for spreadsheet lovers. • Subscription or lifetime, your call. APPLE HEALTH • Built on Apple's workout engine. Sets, runs, and rest periods tracked as proper workouts. Just Add 5 (lbs | mi | min). Terms of Use: https://addfive.app/terms/

RunNerd reads the runs you've already done and tells you what they mean. Same pace, lower heart rate. Faster, but working harder. Cadence slipping on the long ones. The things your numbers say when someone actually reads them. KNOW WHY EVERY RUN FELT THE WAY IT DID Every run gets a name, a read, and a receipt. Two short paragraphs from the coach on what happened and why, then elevation and pace on one chart with your heart-rate zones coloured along the hill. Tap a mile to see what it cost you. A PLAN FOR YOUR RACE DATE Tell the coach the race and the date. The plan builds around it, reads every run you finish, and adjusts the next one. Move a run, your plan adjusts. PRs WITH THE WHY A new personal record shows the old mark, how long it took, and what changed: heart rate at pace, cadence, conditions. Not just a time. YOUR WEEK AND MONTH, THE MORNING AFTER Weekly and monthly recaps on Home: miles, adherence, your best efforts, and one line on what the data says. Share any of it as a clean image. ASK ANYTHING A coach you can talk to. Why last week felt hard, what to do on today's run, whether you're on track for the race. WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR Apple Watch, Garmin, intervals.icu, and anything that writes to Apple Health. Your running history comes with you. NEW TO RUNNING? Pick a first goal, run your first mile or your first 5K, and let your phone guide the run out loud with run/walk intervals. No watch required. WHAT YOU GET - Named runs with a plain-English read on each one - Elevation and pace on one chart, heart-rate zones included - Personal records with what changed since the last one - Weekly and monthly recaps - Shareable receipts for runs, PRs and recaps - Race plans that adapt week to week - Easy, interval, long, and run/walk workouts - Guided runs with spoken cues - Weather-aware run recommendations Built by a lifter who became a runner and got tired of staring at numbers that didn't explain anything.
