Samado vs Coached Run

Samado actually makes you run - and it does it with a plan, not with confetti. Whether you're starting out, chasing your first 10K, or prepping for a half marathon in "this time it's happening" mode, Samado builds your training around YOU. Not around some fictional runner who sleeps 9 hours a night and has never met a sore quad. AN AI COACH WHO WON'T BABY YOU Meet Mado, your AI coach. He's available 24/7, he's brutally honest, and he is absolutely judging you. Ask him about tomorrow's session at 11pm and he'll answer - then quietly note that you're still awake instead of resting. No fake "great job!", no participation trophies. Just cold, useful truth. You'll hate him a little. You'll improve a lot. SESSIONS BUILT FOR YOUR LEGS Intervals, hills, easy runs... every session has a purpose, and your paces are personalized to your level and how you feel. No more "I run fast" without knowing what "fast" actually means. A COACH IN YOUR EAR Audio cues and vibrations during your effort: Samado guides you in real time while you wonder why you picked the most painful sport on the planet. (Spoiler: because it pays off.) HEART RATE ZONES AND REAL DATA Track your heart rate zones, analyze your runs, and watch your progress in black and white. Numbers don't lie - at least they don't. SYNCS WITH YOUR GEAR Apple Health, Strava... Samado connects to what you already use. Your runs sync automatically, because manually re-entering a workout, come on, it's 2026. REPLAYS WORTH BRAGGING ABOUT Relive and share your runs. Because a good run you didn't post - does it really count? IN YOUR LANGUAGE Available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, and Indonesian. Your excuses are universal - but we've got a plan for those too. SAMADO - Train seriously. Without taking yourself seriously. Made by people who actually run, for people who want to run better. HealthKit integration Samado integrates HealthKit to log your running sessions and pull your runs made out of the app. FAQ Does it adapt to me? Yes. The plan evolves with your progress and how you feel - not the other way around. What if I miss a session? Mado will know. Mado always knows. And Mado will mention it. Got an issue? Write to us - we're real humans, out of breath just like you. Email: samado@fayhe.com Privacy Policy: https://samado.pages.dev/privacy Terms & Conditions: https://samado.pages.dev/terms

A running coach in your ear. Live. Over your own music or podcast. Coached Run guides you through the session by voice, so you can put the phone in your pocket and just run. The coach calls out what is happening, when each block starts and ends, when to push and when to ease off, and how far you have come. DYNAMIC SESSIONS, BUILT AUTOMATICALLY Pick a session type and duration between 20 and 60 minutes. The app composes it on the fly, tailored to your choice. Session types: - Easy runs - Long reps (6 minutes) - Medium reps (3 minutes) - Short reps (1 minute) - 30/30 intervals - Pyramid - Ladder - Fartlek (variable intervals called live by the coach) OUTDOORS OR TREADMILL, BY TIME OR BY DISTANCE The coach knows where you are. Outdoors you get splits every kilometre and a halfway turnaround. Reps run in minutes or in metres, from 400 up to 1,600, with mile equivalents if you prefer them. BUILD YOUR OWN SESSION If none of the ones the app brings suits you, My plan lets you pick the warm-up, how long each rep lasts, how many of them, the rest in between and the cool-down. Give it a name and it sits in Your plans, ready to run again. PICK YOUR COACH There are six, each with a voice and a way of talking to you. In English you run with Sarah, who is steady and to the point, with Mike, who is loud and locked in, or with Iris, the warmest of the three and the one to start with. In Spanish there are Diego, María and Luis. The free version gives you the coach for your language and full access opens all of them. THE COACH SEES YOUR HEART RATE If you wear an Apple Watch or any Bluetooth heart rate monitor, the coach uses it while you run. It tells you when you are above or below what the rep asks for, when you are not recovering between reps and, at the end, how many beats you dropped in that first minute. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Carry the session on your wrist. You see the block you are in, what is left of it and your heart rate, and from there you pause, skip a block or finish without taking the phone out. The watch records the workout into Apple Health with its heart rate, calories and distance. TRACK YOUR FITNESS There is a twelve-minute test with no fast running in it. Repeat it every six weeks and see where you stand. The app also gives you a fitness score from 0 to 100 that puts together how much you run, how often you go out, how far your heart rate drops when you stop and where it sits at rest. It is calibrated against what someone genuinely fit runs, so climbing takes work, and you can open it to see what it is made of and what to move to improve it. If you use Apple Health, the app also looks at how you slept before suggesting today's session. WARM UP AND STRETCH Seven minutes of active warm up before you run and seven minutes of stretching afterwards, guided by voice and with an illustration for every exercise. OVER YOUR OWN MUSIC OR PODCAST The coach lowers the volume of your music the second before speaking, then hands it right back. Your Spotify playlist or podcast never stops. Compatible with Spotify (free and Premium) and any other audio playing on your device. ALONGSIDE WHAT YOU ALREADY USE You do not have to drop your running app. Coached Run keeps its own history and charts, and adds a coach in your ear on top of everything you already have. PRIVACY No account. No analytics. No tracking. Every voice clip and every session runs entirely on your iPhone. What the app reads from Apple Health stays on the phone, and so do your Spotify login and your location data if you run by distance. REQUIREMENTS iOS 16 or later. iPhone. Headphones recommended. The download is free and comes with one full session to try. After that, a single payment unlocks everything, with no subscription.
