Runcaster is your interactive running coach — it reads your Garmin or Apple Watch runs and turns them into a personalized training plan that adapts week to week. Talk to your coach after every run, set your goals, and get a plan built around how you actually train. No watch? Build your training or walking plan right in chat and connect a watch anytime. WHAT YOU GET • An AI coach that knows your runs. Connect Garmin Connect™ or Apple Health and the coach reads your recent activity — pace, heart rate, cadence, elevation, and route — to understand your level and build from it. It remembers your goals, races, injuries, and constraints across conversations. • Personalized training plans. Get a day-by-day plan with structured workouts — warmup, intervals, cooldown — and pace or heart-rate targets. Your race date, goal pace, and weekly volume stay pinned at the top. • Workouts on your wrist. Send structured workouts straight to your Garmin device, or have the coming week's workouts appear in the Workout app on your Apple Watch, so the targets are there when you run. • Post-run analysis. After each run the coach checks in, breaks down your splits and effort, and adjusts the plan to fit your week. • Music built for running. Original warm-up, tempo, and cadence mixes — continuous beats from 120 to 180 BPM with a music-reactive visualizer. Pick a tempo, press play, and go. • Briefs that keep you on track. A morning heads-up with the day's workout and the weather at your usual run time, and a Sunday review of how your week went. • Deeper insights. See your splits, route map, heart-rate and elevation trends, and pace adjusted for conditions like heat and hills — so you can tell a real fitness change from a tough day. • The details, handled. Shoe mileage across your rotation, weather on every logged run, and a full dark mode. FREE TO START Connect Garmin or Apple Health and view all your runs, maps, and stats for free.
