About

Allvallee

Read full description

Allvallee is dedicated to one thing: giving you the world's best running plan, every single day. Each morning it looks at what you ran, what you skipped and what you're working towards. Then it gives you today's session, with a target pace and the reason behind it. BUILT FOR REAL WEEKS Most plans are written once and fall apart the first time you miss a run. Yours is rebuilt around your actual week, so a skipped Tuesday or a spontaneous Saturday run just becomes part of the plan. You never have to move anything around yourself. ANY GOAL. RACE OR NO RACE. Run 5K without stopping, get faster at 10K, train for a half or full marathon, or simply become someone who runs a few times a week. Set a goal, with or without a race date, and Allvallee plans the training to get you there and shows you where you are along the way. KNOW EXACTLY HOW HARD TO GO Every run comes with a pace, a duration and the training effect it gives you. You'll see the range that still builds fitness and the point where you'd be overdoing it, so easy days stay easy and hard days count. Feel like something different today? Choose any interval, tempo or recovery run from the library. It's already set to the right pace and length for you today. TODAY'S RUN, ON YOUR WRIST Send the session to your Apple Watch and leave your phone at home. Your watch guides you through it step by step, and every run you finish shapes tomorrow's plan. Using Garmin or another watch? Join the waitlist in the app. REST DAYS COUNT No streaks to protect and no shame for taking a day off. Rest is part of the plan, and your history shows easy runs, hard runs and rest days side by side, so you can see how it all adds up. PROGRESS YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ Weekly mileage, active days, your easy/hard balance and long-term trends, all in one place and written in plain language. SUBSCRIPTION Allvallee requires a subscription, available monthly or yearly. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the trial ends. Your subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings.
