A plan that fits your week
Pick a goal: start running, return to running, build consistency or improve your 5K. Choose two to four days and the time you have. You get an easy run-walk start and a 12-week direction, built on minutes, not mileage.
Running coach for iPhone and Apple Watch
A 12-week running plan that listens. RUN12 adjusts to how your body responds, explains every change, and never guesses about pain.
Coming to the App Store. Requires iPhone with iOS 18 or later; Apple Watch with watchOS 11 or later is optional.
How it works
Training dose is not training response. RUN12 keeps what was planned, what you actually did, how it felt straight after and how you felt the next day as separate things, and plans the next session from all of them.

Send today's session to the Workout app on Apple Watch, or run it with RUN12 Coach on the watch for spoken cues and quick check-ins from the Digital Crown. No watch? Log the run by hand.
After the run, rate your effort and note any pain in about twenty seconds. The next morning, a short check-in asks how you feel now. Unanswered questions stay unknown, never assumed fine.
When the plan holds, progresses or eases off, the Why? sheet shows the evidence it used, where each piece came from, what was missing and the rule that decided.
Safety first
Before every session, RUN12 asks about pain, walking, fatigue and illness, and applies fixed safety rules in a fixed order. A good heart-rate reading never overrides a symptom you report.
Privacy
There is no account and no RUN12 server. Your plan, check-ins and decisions are stored on your iPhone and only leave it when you share an export yourself.
No sign-up, no ads, no analytics and no third-party code in the app. Nothing about you is sold or shared.
RUN12 reads only the types you allow, to import your runs and add context. It writes runs you record with RUN12 Coach and, if you turn it on, your own effort rating.
