RAI

Personalized Running Training App

A running plan that starts from your level, your goal, and your routine — and adapts as you train.

Rai is a running training app that combines sports training principles, runner data, and artificial intelligence to create and adapt your training plan.

What is a personalized running training app?

A personalized training app goes beyond showing a fixed sequence of workouts. It factors in information about you to define what makes sense to train, when to train, and how to adjust the plan as you progress.

With Rai, that starts with your goal, your current level, and your availability. As you train, the available data and your feedback help shape the upcoming sessions.

How Rai works

  1. You tell Rai where you're starting from — at the start, you share your level, goal, availability, and training routine
  2. Rai builds your plan — it turns that information into a training schedule based on running training principles and adapted to your current stage
  3. You train — workouts can be tracked in the app and your activities can be synced through the available integrations
  4. Rai analyzes your execution — the available data can include pace, distance, heart rate, activity history, and the feedback you send
  5. The plan adapts — what you actually did helps shape the upcoming weeks; if a week went differently than planned, that can influence what comes next
  6. You can chat with Rai — use the chat to ask questions about your workouts, understand a session, or request adjustments when your routine changes

What does Rai factor into your training?

The prescription can factor in different aspects of the runner, such as:

  • Goal
  • Current level
  • Training history
  • Availability
  • Recent volume
  • Intensity
  • How workouts were executed
  • Heart rate, when available
  • Runner feedback and perception

Who is Rai for?

  • Runners just starting out — for anyone wanting to go from zero, build consistency, or complete their first 5K
  • Runners who already train regularly — for anyone wanting to better structure their workouts and progress toward a specific distance
  • Runners training for a race — 5K, 10K, half marathon, and other goals can call for different training strategies
  • Runners who want more guidance without relying on a fixed spreadsheet — for anyone who wants to understand what to do and track how the plan evolves over time

Rai isn't just a digital spreadsheet

A spreadsheet can be a great way to organize training. The problem shows up when it stays the same even after your routine, execution, or recovery capacity changes.

Rai's approach is different: use the available data and the runner's feedback to follow the process and guide the upcoming sessions.

Do I need Garmin, Strava, or another connected app?

Not necessarily. Rai integrates with Garmin, Strava, Apple Health, and Health Connect, and those integrations can enrich the data available for analysis — but you can get started even without connecting a device or training app.

How much information is available to Rai depends on the integrations and the data you provide as a runner.

Does Rai replace a coach?

No. Rai is a digital training and follow-up tool. It can help structure and adapt your workouts, but it doesn't replace medical evaluation, physical therapy, or guidance from a fitness professional when that kind of care is needed.

What makes Rai different?

Rai's approach combines three elements:

  • Training science — running training principles guide the structure of your workouts
  • Real data — your execution and the information available about you feed into the process
  • Artificial intelligence — technology helps turn that information into individualized recommendations and adjustments
