Effort and time first. Not pace. Not distance. Tailwind is a weekly running plan for beginners and casual runners. Follow a simple plan, run by feel with spoken interval cues, and let the weeks stack up. Start with Couch to 5K, come back after a break, or build your own plan with AI. THIS WEEK Monday through Sunday on one strip. Swipe a workout to mark it done, skip it with no penalty, or move it to another day. Already ran without the timer? Tap the icon and check it off. THE RUN A full-screen interval timer with a large countdown, phase colors, and spoken cues. Cues duck your music or podcast, then hand it back. They keep working with the screen locked. Longer intervals get a quiet check-in every couple of minutes. Auto-pause is on by default. The timer stops when you stop, and starts again once you are actually moving. Brief shuffles while you stand still do not count. Need a week off? Pause the whole plan. When you come back, everything still ahead shifts forward by the time you were away. You pick up where you left off. Never behind. Already mid-plan? Set the day you actually started. The schedule slides so today lands in the right week. Then check off what you have already done. PLANS Four starters ship with the app: • 8-Week Running Plan for general fitness • Couch to 5K, a run/walk build toward a continuous run • Return to Running after a break • Busy Runner Maintenance for short weeks Or plan with AI. Describe what you want, choose the length and runs per week, and Tailwind writes the prompt for your favorite AI chat. Paste the reply and it is checked on the spot. Preview the schedule on real dates, move the start day, and drag single sessions to other days before you commit. You can also import a plan file, add checkbox tasks like yoga or pilates on any day, and lengthen or shorten a plan from Settings. HANDS-FREE Ask Siri to start today's run, start a free run, or tell you what your week looks like. Pause, resume, or end a run by voice on iPhone or Apple Watch. Every action works in Shortcuts and on the Action button. AFTER THE RUN GPS routes, maps, distance, and Apple Health are optional and off by default. They are for looking back at a finished run, not for coaching you while you are out. A dashboard tracks time on feet and how consistently you showed up. Recorded distance, pace, heart rate, and energy appear only when you choose to collect them. ALSO • Apple Watch app for guided and free runs • Layouts made for iPhone Duo, open or closed • Today widget on the Home Screen • Live Activity on the Lock Screen • Optional reminder on workout days • Optional iCloud sync for plans and completed runs WHAT TAILWIND LEAVES OUT No pace targets while you run. No social feed. No streak that punishes a skipped day. Skip is a real option. The log stays honest. No account and no ads. Your plans and runs stay on your devices, plus your private iCloud if you turn on sync. Crash reports never include health data, routes, or location. Tailwind is not medical advice.
