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.

Know when your body is ready
Every morning, Recovery hands you a single number, 0 to 100, that tells you how recovered you are. It's built from last night's HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep, and it's judged against your own 60-day baseline, not some average stranger's. The score ticks down as the day wears on and you spend energy, so you can feel out whether it's a day to push or a day to ease off. Insights that learn your habits
This is where it gets interesting. StatGrove studies your own mornings and nights, then starts telling you what actually moves them. Longer sleep lifts your score. A late workout costs you. A steadier bedtime pays off. None of it is generic advice: these are patterns found in your data, and they keep getting sharper the longer you use it. Understand your sleep
Every night broken into its stages and efficiency, one night at a time. Each evening you get a short list of personal aims for a better night: when to turn in, what to keep steady. Not a checklist, not a guilt trip. Just what your own nights say works. And a dashboard for everything else
Steps, active energy, heart rate, VO₂ max, workouts, and more: 23 metrics you can drop in as tiles, size how you like, and read at a glance. Put any of them on your Home and Lock Screen as widgets. Every tile shows this week against last, and you can scroll back through months of history and drag across any chart for an exact value. Your data doesn't leave your phone
Nothing gets collected, nothing gets sold. There's no login because there's nothing to log into. Your health data stays where it already is. Works best with an Apple Watch or another tracker feeding data into Apple Health. LICENSED APPLICATION END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
