RunReady vs Vero Labs

Should I run hard today, easy, or not at all? RunReady answers every morning with a Readiness Score built from your Apple Watch HRV, resting heart rate, sleep and training load. You also get your run for today: type, duration, pace and heart rate range. YOUR MORNING Open RunReady and see your score in the ring. Tell the app how your legs feel: fresh, normal, tired, or no run today. Your recommendation follows, for example "Easy Steady Run, 40–60 min, pace 6:27–6:47, HR 119–133". One tap sends it to your Apple Watch as a workout with heart rate targets. MEASURED AGAINST YOU RunReady compares every value with your own last 60 days: • HRV: how well your nervous system recovered overnight • Resting heart rate during sleep: if it stays well above your average for several nights, RunReady marks it red and, if you like, sends a notification. • Sleep: duration and stages of last night • Load: your last 7 days relative to your usual training. Between 0.8 and 1.3 you are in the sweet spot. Tap a value in the ring to see it in detail: the last 30 nights with your normal range, your sleep stages or your training week. ZONES FROM YOUR DATA RunReady calculates your heart rate zones with the Karvonen method: from your highest measured heart rate of the last 12 months and your resting heart rate during sleep. Single measurement spikes don't count. Your Zone 2 fits your body. YOUR WEEKLY PLAN COUNTS Set which days are base, quality, long run or rest, and set your weekly distance goal. RunReady only suggests tempo and intervals when your score allows it. If you like, the app moves a quality session to a later day of the week. EVERY RUN WITH ITS READINESS Your runs arrive from Apple Health automatically, labeled by heart rate pattern: recovery, easy, base, long, tempo, intervals, fartlek and more. RunReady keeps that morning's readiness with every run and shows whether the run matched the recommendation. Plus zone distribution, heart rate with cardiac drift, pace every 200 m, every kilometre with pace, heart rate and cadence, and your effort rating from Apple Fitness. INSIGHTS • Readiness history over 30 days, 90 days or a year, with a second line to compare • What moves your score: your mornings after short nights, load jumps and long runs compared with all others • Pace at the same heart rate: if you run faster at the same pulse, your fitness grows. • Weekly distance with goal, monthly distance, pace, efficiency and cadence • Best efforts over 1 km, 5 km, 10 km and half marathon • Calendar with readiness or kilometres for every day YOUR YEAR FROM DAY ONE With one tap RunReady pulls up to 365 days from Apple Health and calculates their scores. Your history is there right away instead of after weeks of collecting. WIDGETS Readiness, recommendation and weekly plan come in small, medium and Lock Screen sizes, plus a large widget with everything together. See your score before you unlock your iPhone. LIGHT OR DARK RunReady follows your system or stays light or dark. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE RunReady reads from Apple Health and calculates on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. No subscription, no in-app purchases. RunReady needs an Apple Watch you wear at night. Without older data in Apple Health, the score needs about 7 days for reliable values. RunReady gives training guidance and does not replace medical advice.

Vero Labs takes the heart-rate, sleep, and activity data your wearable already records and turns it into three numbers you can act on each morning: recovery, strain, and sleep. A live energy score updates through the day. Recovery, strain, sleep Three numbers, color-coded. Recovery is built from heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and respiratory rate, scored against your own 30-day baseline rather than a population average. Strain runs a TRIMP model on your continuous heart rate and lands on a 0–15 scale. Sleep weights the part of the night that actually restored you, REM and deep, with stage breakdown, efficiency, and total time underneath. Energy A live 0–100 read on how your body is trending right now. It tracks your HRV across the day and the night and shows where it sits compared to your usual range. Trends higher at rest or during sleep, drops with stress or exertion, recovers as you rest. Different from Recovery: Recovery freezes when you wake up, Energy keeps moving as your watch logs new readings. Why HRV matters Heart rate variability is one of the more reliable signals your autonomic nervous system gives off about how recovered you are. For people training hard, a sustained dip over a few weeks often points to overtraining or accumulated load. For everyone else, it's an early read on how well you're handling work stress, poor sleep, or a tough week. A single lower-than-baseline morning is normal noise. It's the trend that matters, and Vero Labs scores you against your own trend, not a textbook average. Train when you're ready, rest when you're not Each morning you get a strain target sized to today's recovery. Green recovery, push. Red recovery, take it easy. The strain bar updates through the day so you can see whether you're under, on, or over the line. Vitals HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen, and wrist temperature, each shown next to a 7-day baseline. The drift in those numbers, more than any single day's reading, is what you're watching for. Trends Each score and vital opens to a 7 or 30-day chart with your personal baseline as a reference line. The signals underneath are laid out too: HRV and RHR inside Recovery, restorative percentage and stage stacks inside Sleep, active and basal calories inside Strain. You can see what's driving the daily number, not just the number. Your year at a glance A 12-month calendar heatmap colors every day by recovery, strain, or sleep. Drag your finger across the grid to scrub through any day and read its scores. Step back a year at a time to see longer arcs. Apple Watch app and three complications A watch app that mirrors today's scores and the full vitals row, no graphs, designed to be readable in a glance. Three separate complications, Recovery, Strain, and Sleep, each a colored ring with the number in the middle. Place all three on a face or pick one. Tap a complication to open the watch app. Lock and home screen widget Three concentric rings using the same color language as the rest of the app. Works with what you already have Vero Labs reads from Apple Health. An Apple Watch gives the richest set of signals, but anything that syncs HRV and resting heart rate into Apple Health will work, including Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Polar, and third-party chest straps. The app uses whatever's there. Private by default Runs entirely on your iPhone and Apple Watch. No account, no server, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Works in airplane mode.
