RunWay talks to you while you run. An on-device engine reads your GPS, heart rate and cadence and decides when to speak; Claude writes each cue. Ask a question out loud mid-run and it answers. Plans adapt to your daily readiness from Apple Health, routes are built around you with spoken turns, and it shows if you're really getting faster. iPhone + earbuds, no watch needed. Free to download, with free AI coaching time to get started.

Hi Product Hunt š
I'm Dorian, a runner from France. I always trained alone, with music in my earbuds and no coach. Run apps either analyze after the run or play pre-written audio, so I built the coach I wanted to hear.
How it works:
ā¢ An on-device rules engine reads GPS, heart rate (Apple Health), cadence and elevation, and decides when to speak: splits, pace and heart-rate zone alerts, interval countdowns, turns on a planned route. Safety thresholds stay in that engine, never in the AI.
ā¢ Claude (Anthropic) writes the wording in your coach's personality, and natural voices read it. Hold the mic button to ask a question mid-run ("Can I hold this pace?") and it answers out loud.
ā¢ No network? Built-in phrases and the iPhone voice take over.
Around the run: plans that adapt to your readiness (HRV, sleep), loops generated around you for today's workout, a race against your own past run, and a Progress tab that shows your pace at the same heart rate.
It's free, with some AI coaching time included to start, then you top up only if you want: no subscription. In French and English.
I'd love your feedback on two things: does the coach speak at the right moments, and which personality do you prefer? I'll answer every comment.
