Outrunr Beta — waitlist open

Run. Improve.
Outrun.

Built around your times. Adjusted every week.

Outrunr writes you a real training plan — every session with a job to do — then talks you through it while you run and shows you, in numbers, what got faster.

Plan
A season, not a list

Base, build, peak and taper — structured around the date you're racing.

Run
A voice in your ear

Splits, pace corrections and interval calls, so you never look at the screen.

Proof
Numbers that move

Fitness, training paces and race predictions that update as you improve.

Most running apps record what you did.
This one decides what you do next.

Outrunr is a running app for people who want to get faster on purpose. You give it a goal and a recent time. It gives you back a week-by-week plan, the exact pace for every session, a reason each one is in there, and an honest read on whether your goal is still on. Then it keeps score.

A plan that answers to you

Pick the goal — first 5K through to marathon and ultra — and Outrunr lays out the whole block: base, build, peak, taper. Every week has a focus. Every session has a target pace drawn from times you've actually run.

  • Seven goals — Zero to 5K, 5K, 10K, half, marathon, ultra, or just staying sharp.
  • Every session explains itself. Why it's there, what it's building, what it should feel like.
  • Paces move when you do. Run faster and the whole plan resets around the new number.
  • Life happens. Miss a week and the plan reshapes rather than pretending you didn't.

Is the goal still on? You'll know.

A single score, updated after every run, that weighs your current fitness against the time you're chasing — then tells you which part is helping and which part is hurting. No false comfort.

  • The gap, in seconds. Your goal against your predicted finish, side by side.
  • Broken down. Fitness, consistency, time left and fatigue — each scored, each explained.
  • Said plainly. "Reachable, but it needs the work" beats a green tick that means nothing.

Set it up once. Then just run.

Choose the distance, pick the shoes, and go. From there it's audio — your splits, your pace corrections, and the call on every interval, so the phone stays in your pocket.

  • Four coaching voices. Aria, Sam, Kai and Rex — pick the one you'll actually listen to.
  • Cues that fit the session. Easy days only pull you back. Hard reps get the numbers, not a lecture.
  • Chasing a PB? Live pacing against a time budget, and it flips to closing-phase cues at the sharp end.
  • Heart rate from a Bluetooth strap, Apple Health or Health Connect.
  • Treadmill too. A speed-and-incline mode for when the weather wins.

Shoes that tell you when they're done

A kilometre counter doesn't know the difference between a 60 kg runner on a track and an 85 kg runner on gravel. Outrunr scores wear by distance, your weight and the ground you actually covered — then tells you how much midsole is left.

  • Foam life, not just mileage. Replacement targets set by the midsole compound in that model.
  • A whole rotation. Assign shoes per run and every pair ages at its own rate.
  • Told early. A warning while there's still time to break in the next pair.

One number that actually moves

Outrunr reads your aerobic fitness from your best real efforts on a rolling six-week window — so it responds when you get fitter instead of sitting on the same figure for months. Every change on the chart carries the run that caused it.

  • Where you stand. Age-graded percentile against runners your age and sex.
  • Your three paces. Intervals, threshold and easy — the whole plan is built off them.
  • Race predictions for 5K through marathon, honest about what they assume.
  • Nothing hidden. It shows the runs it discounted, and why they didn't count.

Everything you've earned, in one place

Personal bests, medals, your rank and a profile of the runner you're becoming. Every run adds XP, and the app itself opens up as you climb — new coaches, new metrics, new titles.

  • Ten ranks, from First Step to Outrunr — carried, not bought.
  • Medals for distance, consistency and speed, with the next one always in view.
  • Your runner profile — speed, endurance and experience, scored and plotted.
  • Personal bests tracked properly — a time you raced counts for more than one you stumbled into.

It doesn't all arrive at once

Everything is in there from day one, but it opens as you run. Fewer dials on your first morning, more to work with once you've shown up enough to need them.

OUTRUNR
You have outrun everyone you used to be.

Everything your run demands.
Nothing it doesn't.

Built for runners who are serious about improving — without the noise of bloated apps.

Pace zones, not guesswork

Five zones anchored to your real race pace. See where every kilometre landed, and how your month split across them.

Training load, watched

How hard you've worked lately against what you're used to — with the ramp rate flagged before it turns into an injury.

Personal bests, graded

Outrunr knows the difference between a time you raced and one you happened into mid-run. Only the real ones set your targets.

Watch the run back

Your route redraws itself at the speed you ran it, so you can see exactly where the pace went.

Share cards worth posting

Drop in a photo or run the poster layout, place your stats where you want them, and export something that doesn't look like a screenshot.

Terrain and elevation, corrected

Road, trail or track worked out from your route, and climb measured properly — so hills count for what they cost you.

Strava, if you want it

Push finished runs across on your terms. Connect it or don't — nothing goes anywhere automatically.

Works without signal

Runs are saved on your phone first. Dead zones, flight mode, no reception — the run still lands.

How it felt counts too

Rate the effort when you finish. A session that felt harder than the numbers say is how the plan learns to back off before you break.

From first run to race day
in three steps

1

Set your goal

Your target race, a recent time, and the days you can actually train.

2

Follow your plan

Week by week, session by session — each with its own pace and its own reason.

3

Outrun yourself

Watch the numbers move, climb the ranks, and turn up on race day ready.
