AI running coach apps
An AI running coach app builds a plan toward a goal race or distance and changes it from what you actually ran: completed and missed sessions, pace and heart-rate data from your watch, and in some apps sleep and HRV. The products on this page range from rule-based plans that come free with a watch to conversational coaches you can argue with in chat.
What separates them for a runner is whether sessions arrive on the watch with pace or heart-rate targets, whether a missed Tuesday re-flows the week, and whether the plan builds toward a race with a taper. Those are facts on each app's page; the scores add how well the evidence says each app does it.

How this index works
- Facts, cited. Sports, AI level, thirteen coaching capabilities, devices, price: each from the vendor's own page, linked and dated.
- Scores, from evidence. Eight coaching dimensions, 1 to 5, each citing a public page. No evidence, no score: a blank is not a low mark.
- Rules, not opinions. Every shortlist is the printed output of a rule over the data, recomputed on every build. Nobody picks a winner.
Every fact on this page links to the vendor page that states it on the app's own page. Scores follow the published rubric. The compare page shows all eight scored dimensions side by side.
