How it works

Three moves. Plan, GPS and analysis live in the same app.

01

Talk to the coach

Goal, available days, trail or road. A conversation — not an endless form.

02

Get your week

Structured workouts proposed to the calendar. You confirm, then they stay saved.

03

Run — it adapts

Phone GPS, Strava or watch. Miss a session? It rebuilds the rest of the week.

What Runvia does

Privacy · BYOK

Your Gemini key. Your data.

After the trial, the coach runs on your Google Gemini API key (BYOK — Bring Your Own Key). You talk to Google on your behalf: no proprietary Runvia AI cloud storing coach chats. History stays on your phone; personal data stays under your control.

How

Bring Your Own Key

  • Create a free key in Google AI Studio
  • Connect it in Runvia in seconds
  • The coach stays free — no mandatory subscription
  • Revoke the key anytime
Why

Privacy for the coach

  • Conversations use your Gemini API key
  • Chat history stays on device
  • No Runvia AI middleman for the coach
  • Premium is optional: deeper race plan, watch and load — not the coach

Indie

Why I built it

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Different from ChatGPT?

Yes: run sync, calendar, GPS and load — not a one-off generic plan from a chat.

Do I need a watch?

No. Phone GPS or Strava is enough. Garmin/Suunto/Health are Premium.

Is the coach paid?

Trial + free Gemini BYOK. Premium deepens the plan (4 weeks, race-specific, trail/D+, strength) and unlocks watch and load. How to connect your key →
