Train for your next PR with a plan built around you, and a human coach when you want one.
This isn't an app built overnight. NXT RUN is years of work by runners who coach, and it has already coached several runners to Boston qualifiers.
NXT RUN builds a personalized, adaptive training plan for your goal race: enter your race date, distance (800m to marathon), current fitness, weekly mileage, and the days you can run. Your plan adjusts every week based on how you actually train.
1:1 COACHING WITH A HUMAN COACH
Work directly with a human coach, not software. Your coach adjusts your plan, reviews your workouts and races, and answers your messages in the app, with video calls when you want to talk it through.
Coaching is led by NXT RUN's founder: a 14:40 5K and 30:59 10K runner who has spent 15 years building apps for serious runners and has personally coached several marathoners under 3 hours.
1:1 coaching is a separate plan. It is not included with Pro or Basic.
MEET PACE, YOUR AI COACH
Ask questions, move workouts, and make any run easier or harder with one tap. PACE updates your paces after every run based on how workouts felt, so you are always training at the right effort.

Train smarter. Race faster.
There are a few key features about this app that separate it from other running apps.The first is the variety of runs it creates for each training plan. Each run has a specific purpose but even runs that appear similar, there is enough variation to keep things interesting. The runs are auto created based on your goals and syncs to your smart watch. You can view your planned runs out to your goal date ( if you have a race). The second is modifying and customization runs if your schedule changes. You can easily drag and drop a run to another day. You can change the difficulty up or down which increases or decreases the distance/time/intervals. All of your changes seamlessly syncs to your watch. Super powerful.The third is the AI coach. The latest version is crazy good. I have been adding more comments after my runs and not only does it analyze your most recent run but it remembers info from past runs and prompts you with additional info. It really does feel like you’re talking with a real coach - a coach that analyzes all data - HR, pace, weather, perceived effort and more.Highly recommended. I have a super busy schedule and would never be able to develop a running plan let alone program my watch with so much detail. It’s like having a coach on your wrist.
NXT Run - making training stress free.

NXT run has been incredible for my training and taking away the stress of having to create a plan myself. NXT run has allowed me to enjoy the training process again without worrying about thinking through or planning a week or months of training at a time. As well it has given my training a variety of workouts! The thing I have enjoyed most is the ability to change the day a workout is planned and/or the intensity of the workout. I have a full time job and two small children, so the ability to be flexible is huge. I am excited to see how my races in 2024 go while using the NXT run app.
Incredible improvement in my Half Marathon training

This app has provided a huge support to my training this year. My last two racing seasons I struggled with injuries that slowed me down and made race days disappointing. Since using NXT Run I can already tell this season is going to be different, the AI coaching feature has been so helpful in how to prepare for runs, recover afterwards, and also given various nutrition tips. The biggest difference though is the intuitive nature of the workout plans based on my current fitness level and goals. Before I was ramping up way too fast which led to injuries, so far I am healthy and getting stronger.
Great AI Run Training Tool

I have thoroughly enjoyed using the app so far. The onboarding was seamless and the training customization makes the app applicable to all runners. There are various ways you can adapt a planned run and modify the training plan to your liking. Additionally you can make the training easier or harder depending on your preference and ability. Lastly the app support has been great. Certainly worth a try and I would highly recommend.
