Boilerplate

In short

Runvia is an Italian app that brings an KI-Coach into a runner’s real training life: plans that adapt after every run, GPS with voice guidance, load analysis, and sync with the tools you already use — from Strava to watches — with privacy first.

It started from a practical need: turn running data (pace, heart rate, elevation, load) into useful guidance, without opaque pro-only platforms. The project is built by Fabio Barbieri: a solo developer, continuous updates, and feedback from the community.

Quote

From the founder

The watch records runs brilliantly — but then you never know what training to do next. I didn’t want to keep hunting for plans and reshaping them to how I felt. I built Runvia for a coach that guides me, helps me improve, and holds me back before I get injured.
