Norwegian Singles vs Empace

Norwegian Singles brings the Norwegian Singles Method (NSM) to your pocket (and to your Apple Watch!). Used by elites like the Ingebrigtsen brothers and adapted for everyday runners, NSM replaces traditional hard VO2max sessions with controlled sub-threshold intervals: accumulating more weekly training stress while recovering faster between sessions. HOW IT WORKS Enter a recent race result, and the app calculates your VDOT and personalized training paces. Choose from three session types — short, medium, or long intervals — or build a fully custom workout. Every rep, rest, warmup, and cooldown is calibrated to your fitness level. SEND TO APPLE WATCH Send any workout directly to your Apple Watch with one tap. Optional pace alerts keep you in the right zone during intervals. TRAINING TOOLS - VDOT Calculator: Find your VDOT from any race distance and time - Race Predictor: Predict finish times from 1500m to the marathon - Pace Converter: Convert between min/km, min/mi, km/h, and mph KEY FEATURES - Generate workouts based on proven NSM pacing tables - Custom workout builder with adjustable distance, time, and quality targets - Editable warmup, cooldown, and rest intervals - Save workouts to your library for reuse - Supports both metric and imperial units - Dark mode interface designed for quick pre-run use Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

An AI running coach that actually knows you. Sign in with Strava and your coach immediately understands your pace, your volume, and your typical week. No onboarding quiz. No manual logging. Just a coach that picks up where your training left off. "Surprised how nice it was to chat with! Got a few good suggestions for how to train with my injury." - Robert Wrehammar, ultra marathoner KNOWS YOUR RUNNING THE MOMENT YOU CONNECT Connect Strava once. Your coach reads your history, recognizes your patterns, and starts coaching from run one. REMEMBERS WHAT NO OTHER APP TRACKS Injuries, preferences, schedule, what motivates you, how you felt after last Sunday's long run. Your coach builds a picture of you over time, so every run is built around your life, not a template. COACHES YOU TOWARD YOUR NEXT PB Aerobic efficiency. Load ratios. Recovery patterns. The app surfaces what matters in your numbers and tells you what to do about them. Not another dashboard. Actual coaching. TREATS REST LIKE A SKILL Taking a rest day when you need it is a skill. Recovery is where adaptation happens, and your coach celebrates the days off as much as the hard sessions. CHAT WITH YOUR COACH Ask anything: pacing for tomorrow's run, how to train through a niggle, what your last week says about your fitness, how to taper for race day. Your coach has the context to answer. WHY THIS APP - Built on your Strava history, not a generic plan - Remembers your injuries and goals across conversations - Surfaces aerobic efficiency, load, and recovery trends - Adapts when life gets in the way - Honest about rest, not a "more is better" coach GETTING STARTED 1.
