FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is there a running app that talks to you?
Yes, that’s exactly what RunWay does. Your coach talks in your earbuds during the run, at the right moment: every kilometer, when your pace drifts or your heart rate climbs, at each interval step. Hold the mic button to ask it a question out loud, and it answers from your live numbers.
Is RunWay really free?
Yes. The app is free, with no subscription and no ads, and your coach always talks to you with built-in phrases. The AI coach (tailor-made cues and natural voices) counts down during your runs: you get free hours when you sign up, then you can top up in Settings › Account with a pack of 3, 10 or 30 hours. No expiry, and your time follows your account on all your iPhones.
Do I need a watch?
No, your iPhone and your earbuds are enough to run with the coach. If you use a watch, your runs from Apple Watch, Garmin, COROS, Polar, Suunto, Wahoo or Zepp sync through Apple Health and join your history.
Does it work without a connection?
Yes. With no signal, your coach keeps talking with built-in phrases and the iPhone voice. When you’re online, the AI writes the lines and speaks them with a natural voice.
Can I listen to music while the coach talks?
Yes. Keep your music app playing: the coach lowers your music while it speaks, then gives it back. You choose how often it talks and how loud it is.
Does RunWay have trail and ultra plans?
Yes. Pick your race from 5 to over 200 km with its elevation gain: the plan is built on time and climbing, with hills, power hiking and long runs in hours for ultras.
How is RunWay different from Runna?
Runna is a subscription app with a big plan library and fixed audio cues. RunWay is free with no subscription: its coach writes what it says from your live run, answers your questions out loud, and speaks native French as well as English.
Which languages does the coach speak?
English and French. RunWay follows your iPhone’s language, for the app and for the coach’s voice.
What about my privacy and the AI?
No tracking, no ads, and nothing is sold. AI features only run with your explicit consent: the coach then uses Claude (Anthropic) to write and ElevenLabs to speak, and you can withdraw your consent anytime in Settings › Coach. Without it, the coach uses its built-in phrases and the iPhone voice.
Is this medical advice?
No. RunWay is for training and wellness only, and is not a substitute for medical advice.
What do I need?
An iPhone with iOS 18 or later, and your earbuds. RunWay is a free download on the App Store.
