Runapt builds your running plan — then adapts it every day. Most apps only track what you already ran. Runapt gives you a real plan for a race, then changes it when your fitness, schedule, readiness, or route changes. Each morning you get one clear answer: what to run, at what pace, and where. Paces come from Jack Daniels’ VDOT. Load uses CTL, ATL, and TSB. Miss a day or sleep badly and the week gets rewritten — it does not stack the missed work onto tomorrow. • Plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon • Auto-generated routes that match the session distance • Live pace guidance while you run • A short coach note after each run about that run • Chat with an AI coach about paces and race strategy • History with maps, splits, and shareable cards • Syncs with Apple Health Free plan covers 5K and 10K.
