Finding your rhythm. - Running: Sustained running with walk breaks when you need them. - Exploring: You're a runner. Mix it up and keep going. FEATURES - Adaptive plans that adjust to how you feel - Walk-jog intervals with a simple, clear timer - Post-session check-ins (difficulty, body feel) - Milestones and showing-up streaks - Progress tracking with weekly and monthly views - Apple Watch app with interval cues and haptics - Home screen widgets - HealthKit integration - iCloud sync across devices - No account required SLOW CLUB PLUS Unlock audio coaching, route tracking, data export, monthly reflections, and share cards with an optional subscription.
