Runsy

Runsy is an iPhone and iPad app that builds running training plans for a race, getting faster, or staying fit. It reads workouts and metrics from Apple Health, including runs, other sports, heart rate, VO2 max, resting heart rate and body weight, and adapts plans as you train. The page says the app includes a coach you can chat with by typing or voice notes, and that coach can swap sessions or add rest days. Free training plans, pace charts, race time calculators and race guides are available on the website on any phone. A real first week can be previewed before subscribing. Runsy Pro costs US$12.99/month or US$79.99/year after a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers.
