Running isn't just about following workouts
It’s finding the right pace, progressing, recovering, handling the unexpected, preparing for your goals, learning, sometimes doubting, sharing your wins… and still wanting to run.
RunMotion supports you through all of it, every day. So you can run with less mental load and more confidence.

The running coach app that's with you every day
A digital coach that evolves with you week after week: it builds your week, analyzes every run and supports you between workouts. For running, trail and triathlon.
Your week
A plan that moves with you. Threshold, endurance, VO2max intervals, long run: your week is built around your level, your terrain (track, road, trail, mountain) and the days you can run. Something came up? Just change your training days.
Every workout comes with target paces and goes straight to your watch. Your runs also sync with Strava.
After your run
Real feedback, not just numbers. Pace, distance, heart rate and how you felt: with Premium, every run and every race is analyzed. You instantly know whether your pacing was right, whether you were in the right zone (easy aerobic, threshold, VO2max, 10K pace) and what to aim for in the next session of your training plan.
« Well done Alex, great session. You ran your 5 × 1000 m in 4:16, 4:14, 4:13, 4:12 and 4:15, for a 10K target pace of 4:15/km: only 4 seconds apart, very consistent. »

Running coach app FAQ
Another question? Message us directly in the app or on social media.
What is RunMotion Coach?
RunMotion Coach is a running coach app that builds your personalized training plan for running, trail and triathlon. Your plan adjusts every week to your level, your schedule and your runs. Every workout comes with target paces, goes straight to your watch, and with Premium you get a debrief once you're back. Over 1.2 million runners have already used it.
How does the personalized training plan work?
You enter your goal, your level and the days you can run. The app builds your week (endurance, threshold, VO2max intervals, long run, strength) with paces calculated for you. Every week, your plan adjusts to the runs you've done and how you feel. The algorithms are designed by Guillaume Adam, engineer, certified coach and 2:23 marathoner.
What is the best running app for beginners?
As a beginner, choose an app that helps you progress gently with guided workouts. With RunMotion Coach, your first goal can be to run 30 minutes, then 1 hour, without stopping. For 6 weeks, your workouts alternate walking and running so your body adapts gradually. You'll also find wellness, weight loss and quit-smoking goals.
How do I choose a running app?
Check four things: does the plan adapt to your level and schedule, do the workouts give precise paces, does the app work with your watch, and who designs the plans. RunMotion Coach adjusts your plan every week, calculates your paces, syncs with the main GPS watches and Strava, and its plans are designed by coaches who have trained runners from beginner to international level. The easiest way is to try it: the free version and the 7-day Premium trial let you make up your own mind. And we're an independent company, founded in 2018 in the French Alps.
Do I need a GPS watch to use the app?
No. The app guides you workout by workout from your phone, and you can log your runs manually or sync Strava. If you have a watch, RunMotion Coach works with Garmin, Coros, Polar, Suunto, Apple Watch, Fitbit, Wahoo and Huawei: your workouts then go straight to your wrist.
Is RunMotion Coach free?
Yes, you can use RunMotion Coach for free, with a personalized training plan for your goal. Premium costs $119.99 per year ($9.99 per month) or $19.99 per month. You can try it free for 7 days: if you cancel before the end of the trial, you pay nothing.
What does Premium include?
Complete training: strength and conditioning, stretching, nutrition advice, mental preparation and cross-training (cycling, swimming). After every run, you also get a detailed debrief: pace, distance and heart rate are analyzed, so you know what to aim for next time. You can also change your training every week, for example your running days, and get full integration with your calendar and GPS watch.
How do I contact RunMotion Coach support?
Message us directly in the app or on Instagram: we reply quickly, whether it's about your plan, your subscription or syncing your watch. You can also ask the community on Strava and Reddit, where other runners share their advice. And if you have suggestions, we're always listening to improve the app.
You run. RunMotion takes care of the rest.
