NextRun is a running coach that builds your training plan on your iPhone — and keeps rebuilding it as your running changes. Tell it your goal, the days you can run, and how long you've got. NextRun reads your run history from Apple Health and writes a week-by-week plan that fits the runner you are right now. When a new run lands in Health, the plan adjusts around it. No cookie-cutter PDF, no signing up, no account. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The AI that writes your plan runs entirely on your device. Your health and running data are never uploaded and never leave your iPhone. There's no server to send them to. BUILT AROUND YOUR REAL WEEK • Pick the exact days you run — not just "4 days a week" • Set a time limit per day, so Tuesday's run fits the gap you actually have • Choose your mix: easy, tempo, long, intervals, hills • Light, medium or intensive — you decide how hard the plan pushes A PLAN THAT KEEPS UP • Finish a run and it ticks itself off, matched automatically from Apple Health • Completed weeks stay put; the weeks ahead get reshaped around your recent training • Change a setting and your plan is rewritten to match • Training for a race?
