RunMode

Your training data, and the receipts.

The running coach that shows its working — every number traces to your real Apple Health data or a real computation, or it says so.

The problem

Running apps invent things. A recovery score with no visible inputs. A "readiness" number that appears from nowhere. An AI summary that sounds confident about data it doesn't have. You can't tell which numbers are measured and which are guessed — so you can't trust any of them.

Closed apps are a black box. Conversational AI coaches blind. RunMode has your real data and explains every decision — and you can check the maths.

What it does

1

Readiness you can take apart

A daily readiness score built from real training load, resting heart rate, sleep, and anything you've logged — anchored to the race you're training for. Tap it and it breaks into the real terms that produced it. Not good enough data? It shows "—", not a confident guess.

2

Pacing that accounts for the weather

Race-day forecast — temperature, humidity, dew point — turned into an honest pace range for the conditions. A range, never a false-precision target.

3

Session forensics

Per-run analysis: real elevation, pace splits, heart-rate zones, route with segment detail, personal bests, your own notes. All from your data, explained in plain language.

4

Race prep, end to end

Event setup with a goal estimate derived from your own recent runs, fuel guidance, course import. No generic plan — the numbers come from you.

The thread through all four: it's plan-free. RunMode doesn't hand you a rigid twelve-week schedule and defend it. It coaches off what's actually happening in your life and your data.

Tap the score and it opens up: sleep, training load, and symptoms, shown separately, not blended into a mystery number.

Every run broken down after the fact — pace zones, personal bests, and the actual conditions you ran in.

Longer-term trends — VO2 max, resting heart rate, cardio fitness over time.

Where it's at

Pre-launch. Nothing here is inflated to sound further along than it is.

  • Built and in active development by a solo founder, tested daily on his own real running data.
  • Currently in private testing on the founder's own device via TestFlight.
  • Health data used by the AI coach is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate responses — that's the one thing that leaves your device, and it's stated here plainly rather than glossed over.
  • Opening to outside runners once a small number of privacy and store-compliance items are finished.
