PB vs The Running Algorithm

PB-Runner is a running app that records your runs with the full depth your watch/phone can capture - pace, distance, splits, heart rate, and running-form metrics like power, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, stride length and cadence - and shows them in detail with route maps. - Record runs on Apple Watch (standalone, phone left at home) or on iPhone. - Garmin Support with PB-Runner ConnectIQ app - Detailed run breakdowns, route maps, and splits. - Create custom training schedules with AI you can follow on your wrist/phone with audio and haptic cues. - Recovery context from Apple Health (resting heart rate, sleep, HRV, VO2max). - An analytics dashboard on the web at pb-runner.com. - Share your run with a built-in editor for sharing your runs — stats over the map or your photo, dragged into place and styled to match. Bring your own AI (optional): connect an AI you already use - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or another - to your own training data and build your Athletes Profile so it can analyse your runs and help plan your sessions based on the athlete you are, not a generic runner in an age group . PB-Runner is the connector; the AI is your own separate subscription, and the app works fully without it. PB-Runner is free while we launch - record runs, sync across your devices, and see your stats. Connecting your own AI is included free for now but will become a paid option later; your recording and history stay free. Privacy: your health and location data is used only to run the features you use, never for advertising, and never sold. It is only shared with an AI when you explicitly choose to connect one.

The Running Algorithm is your personal running coach in your pocket. Tell us when you're available and we'll handle everything else. All you need to do is run. Most training plans break the moment real life gets in the way. A late meeting, a rough night's sleep, a missed session, and suddenly you're behind and trying to cram. The Running Algorithm works differently. It builds a fully flexible plan around your schedule, then adapts automatically as your week, and your body, changes. ADAPTIVE TRAINING THAT FITS YOUR LIFE Plans are built around the days and times you can actually run. If your plans change, your plan changes with them. No more falling behind, no more guesswork about.how to adjust your training, we handle it for you. TRAIN FOR ANY DISTANCE Whether you're chasing your first 5K, a 10K personal best, a half marathon, or your first full marathon, The Running Algorithm builds the right plan for your goal. Add as many events as you like and we'll plan the training around all of them. No need to cancel and restart plans between events, we remember what you’ve done and use that to build toward your next goal when one finishes. FEEDBACK THAT SHAPES YOUR PLAN After every run, you tell us how it went. The platform uses that feedback to track your freshness and fatigue, then adjusts upcoming sessions so your training always matches how you're feeling and how much time you have. SMART, INJURY-AWARE PROGRESSION Our fatigue model is designed to keep your training sustainable. By balancing hard and easy days intelligently, we help you avoid the back-to-back hard sessions that lead to burnout and injury. This means that you can stay consistent and improve faster.
