You're trying hard. That's the problem. Most runners go medium-hard on everything and never improve. Zonna gives you a zone for each session and holds you to it. Easy when it's easy, hard when it's hard. WHAT IT DOES A training plan built for your race. 5K, 10K, half marathon, or marathon. Tells you what to do each day and why. Heart rate zones paced to you. Calculated from your age and your runs. No guessing, no generic targets. Real analysis after every run. Kit, your in-app coach, reads what you actually did against the zone you should've been in โ and tells you honestly. A weekly zone score. Every Sunday: how disciplined was your week. The number you didn't know you needed. A plan that moves. Miss a session, change a day, get injured โ your plan reshapes itself, calmly. Apple Health integration. Your runs and recovery sync automatically. Nothing to log manually. WHO IT'S FOR Runners with a day job. People who've got training schedules and conference calls. The ones who keep going too hard because they've only got an hour after work and they want to make it count. If you're a sub-elite athlete running 100+ miles a week, this isn't for you. Zonna is for the rest of us โ the runners who blur their zones because life is loud. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PAID Free: a complete training plan for your race, daily session detail, heart rate zone targets, manual logging. Premium (14-day free trial, then ยฃ7.99/month or ยฃ59.99/year): Kit reads every run, weekly zone score, dynamic plan reshaping that responds to missed sessions or new injuries, post-run pace and heart-rate analysis, continuity across coaching surfaces. PRIVACY Your health data stays on your device by default. Apple Health permissions are read-only. We never write back. No data sold, ever. Full policy at zonna.run/privacy. You can't outrun your easy days.
