Vitadel Run is the running coach that actually knows how your body is doing. Every morning it reads your sleep, HRV, and recovery -- then adapts your personalized workout to match. Training plans from 5K to marathon, on iPhone and Apple Watch. ► TRAINING THAT ADAPTS TO YOU Most running plans are blind. They don't know you slept four hours. They can't see your HRV crashed. They just tell you to run. Vitadel Run scores your readiness every morning from sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, and a 10-second body check-in. Green means go hard. Yellow means dial it back. Red means recover. Your workout adjusts automatically. No more guessing. No more overtraining. ► TRAINING PLANS BUILT ON SCIENCE Built on methods from the best minds in distance running -- Daniels, Pfitzinger, Hudson, Canova, Magness, Eyestone, Stazza, Higdon, and Joyner. Battle-tested, not invented from scratch. VDOT-based periodization with base, build, peak, and taper phases. Plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon -- adapted to your fitness level, goal, and race date. Structured workouts with warm-up, intervals, cooldown, target paces, and human-voice audio cues. ► PACE THAT KEEPS UP WITH YOU Your plan adjusts as you improve. Pace recalibration detects when you've outgrown your training zones and updates your targets automatically -- so the work stays hard in the right way. ► TRACK EVERY RUN GPS tracking on iPhone and Apple Watch. Real-time pace, distance, heart rate, elevation, and cadence. Splits and laps. Route maps. Post-run analysis with AI-powered insights on your performance, effort, and body response. ► APPLE WATCH & LIVE ACTIVITIES A full standalone Watch app -- start runs from your wrist, no iPhone required. See your metrics on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen mid-run. Haptic alerts and voice cues for intervals and lap splits. ► GHOST RUNNER Race your past self. See exactly where you were on any previous run and turn every repeat route into a personal competition. ► RACE PREDICTIONS & PERSONAL RECORDS Predicted finish times for the 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon, grounded in your actual training data. Personal records across every distance. Your fitness trend over time, in one chart. ► PACTS: TRAIN FOR THE SAME RACE AS A GROUP Pick a race, invite your crew, and see a shared weekly scoreboard: runs, long runs, quality sessions, rest, and each person's readiness. Race countdown and block progress keep everyone honest -- you'll know before Sunday if someone skipped their long run. Not lining up a race? Choose a famous trail challenge instead (Tour du Mont Blanc, Camino de Santiago, and more) and work through it together. ► ASK YOUR RUNNING COACH Ask questions about your training, recovery, fueling, or race strategy. Get answers grounded in your actual training data -- not generic advice copy-pasted from the internet. ► CONNECTS TO EVERYTHING Apple Health, Strava, Garmin, Polar, Oura, Fitbit, Whoop, Suunto, COROS (coming soon). Your running plan finally has the full picture. ► HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Today's workout, your readiness, weekly progress, race predictions, PRs -- one glance away. ► SHARE YOUR RUNS Beautiful share cards with your stats, route, and insights. Customize backgrounds, pick your metrics, post to Instagram Stories or save to camera roll. ► GEAR TRACKING Log your shoes, track mileage per pair, get retirement alerts when it's time for a new pair. ► BUILT BY A RUNNER Vitadel Run was built by a runner who got injured using another app that had zero context and no idea he was overtraining. So he built one that actually listens and adapts. Every feature in Vitadel Run exists because a runner needed it. ► QUESTIONS?
