Every morning
Open the app. Know exactly what to do, and why.
No grids of numbers to decode. Today shows one session: what it is, how long, and the reason it is in your plan. Tap for the steps, paces or effort, and heart rate zones.
- Short on time? Ask for a shorter version of the same session.
- Not feeling 100%? Choose rest, easier sessions, no pace targets or travel mode, then a gentle way back.
- Plans changed? Drag a session to another day. Ritmo checks first if that puts two hard days together.
- Missed a session? It is moved or repeated, never piled on.
How it works
Three steps, then it keeps up with you.
-
1
Tell Ritmo about you
A short setup: your running so far, your goal, the days you can train and any injuries. If a goal is too much too soon, Ritmo says so kindly and suggests a safer one.
-
2
Run, then log it
Bring in your history from Garmin, FIT, GPX or TCX files, or log a run by hand in seconds. Automatic Garmin sync is coming, pending Garmin's approval, and Apple Health and Health Connect come with the phone apps.

Your plan adapts
After every run you see what went well and one thing to change. Your next sessions shift to match your fitness, fatigue and how the run felt. Ask the coach to "make tomorrow easier" and it suggests the change for you to confirm with one tap.
Honest numbers
Ritmo tells you what it knows, and what it is guessing.
Paces, race predictions and fitness scores only appear when your runs support them, and each one says what it is based on. New runners train by effort until Ritmo has learned enough to set paces.
New to running
From walking to 30 minutes of running.
A gentle run/walk path, three days a week with rest days in between. Each step builds on the last, and if a session felt very hard, Ritmo holds you at that level a little longer. No watch needed.
When you can run for 30 minutes, a short time trial unlocks paces, race predictions and plans for 5K, 10K and beyond.

Goal30 min
Running time in each session, with walking between. Some steps are left out here; your starting point depends on your answers in setup.
Training for a race
5K to marathon, built around race day.
Progress shows your threshold pace and aerobic efficiency over time, and tracks your shoe mileage so you know when to replace them.
Race readiness
A predicted finish time from your recent performances, and how ready you are for your goal, updated as you train.
Load and recovery
Fitness, fatigue and form from your training load, plus a daily readiness check that eases the plan when you need it.
Feedback on every run
Pacing, heart rate and how it felt, turned into what went well and one clear thing to change next time.
Your training style
Choose how many hard sessions a week, your long-run style, strides, strength and mobility, and plan length. B and C races fit inside the plan.
Cross-training counts
Log a bike ride, swim, gym session or walk and it counts towards your fitness and fatigue, based on how much it carries over to running.

Questions
When does Ritmo launch?
The iPhone and Android apps are being built and tested now. Join the waitlist and you will hear first. You can already try the web app.
How much will it cost?
Pricing will be announced at launch. People on the waitlist will hear about it first.
Do I need a running watch?
No. You can log runs by hand with time, distance and how they felt. A watch or phone with GPS and heart rate gives Ritmo more to learn from.
Does it work with Garmin?
Today you can import your full Garmin history, or single FIT, GPX and TCX files. Automatic Garmin sync is coming once Garmin approves access.
Apple Health and Health Connect?
Yes, in the iPhone and Android apps, with your permission.
Can I log other sports?
Yes. Cycling, swimming, the elliptical, gym sessions and walks count towards your fitness and fatigue, so your running plan accounts for them.
What if my week changes?
Drag a session to another day, ask for a shorter or easier version, or tell Ritmo you are ill or travelling. The plan rearranges itself and tells you why.
I have never run before. Is it for me?
Yes. The beginner path starts with short run/walk intervals and builds slowly, after a short health check.
What happens to my data?
It is stored in the EU, private to you and never sold. You can export or delete it at any time. Read the privacy notice.
