Frequently Asked Questions

Runami is your personal AI running coach. It creates a truly personalized training plan based on your unique goal, current fitness, and real-life schedule.

Simply tell Runami your goal (like running a marathon or building a habit), connect your run history from an app like Strava (optional), and set your weekly availability. The AI then builds a smart, adaptive training plan that evolves with you, ensuring you train effectively and safely.

Getting started is simple. After signing up, you'll go through a quick 5-step process:

1. Set up your profile (age, fitness level, preferences)
2. Connect Strava
3. Choose your goal
4. Send a message to your running coach on Telegram
5. Generate your training plan

You'll then see your personalized plan on the calendar.

Runami is built to handle a variety of ambitions. You can choose from goals such as:

• Running a specific race (5K, 10K, Half-Marathon, Marathon)
• Achieving a time goal for a certain distance
• Building a consistent running habit (coming soon)
• Building an aerobic base
• Returning from an injury (coming soon)
• Maintaining your current fitness

Each goal type asks different questions to personalize the plan (e.g. race date, target pace, max training days).

No, you can absolutely create a plan without connecting Strava. However, to make your plan as precise and personalized as possible, we highly recommend it. Analyzing your past runs allows the AI to accurately calibrate your initial pacing, endurance, and workout intensity.

Your timezone is used to correctly schedule runs, send reminders, and allow the AI coach in Telegram to reference "today" and "tomorrow" accurately when chatting with you.

Yes. Training for a race is one of Runami's core strengths. Simply select "Run a race" and enter your race date, distance, and target time. Runami will then build a structured plan that automatically includes the essential phases: building mileage, peaking at the right time, and tapering correctly so you arrive at the start line feeling fresh and ready.

You are in full control. During setup, you define your schedule by setting the maximum number of days you want to run per week and blocking out any days you're unavailable. A typical plan includes 1 long run, 1-2 harder sessions (like tempo or intervals), and the rest as easy recovery runs, all scheduled to fit your life.

Yes. If your schedule changes, you miss runs, or your goal shifts, you can regenerate your plan. This will keep your goal the same, but rebuild the weekly sessions to reflect your new reality.

Life happens, and your plan should adapt. If you miss key workouts, the AI will automatically adjust the following week's intensity to keep you on a safe progression. If your schedule changes significantly, you can regenerate your plan at any time, and Runami will rebuild your training calendar around your new reality.

Yes, 100%. There are no generic templates here. Every single plan is uniquely generated by the AI based on your personal running history, goal, fitness level, and availability. Two runners with the same goal will receive completely different plans tailored to their individual profiles.

Your plan will include a balanced mix of workouts designed to improve all aspects of your running:

• Easy runs to build your aerobic base
• Tempo runs to improve your lactate threshold and speed endurance
• Interval runs to boost your VO₂ max and top-end speed
• Long runs to increase your endurance and mental toughness

The AI schedules these workouts intelligently, ensuring you have adequate recovery between hard sessions.

Yes, your plan is flexible. You can drag and drop runs to different days on the calendar, mark a session as "skipped," or ask the AI coach on Telegram to "make this week easier." This allows you to adjust your training on the fly to match how you feel.

Blocked days are days you designate as completely off-limits for running. The AI will never schedule a workout on these days. This feature ensures your training plan fits your real life—whether you have standing commitments on Mondays or simply want guaranteed rest days—not the other way around.

No, a watch or Strava account is not required to use Runami. However, connecting your data is the best way to unlock the AI's full potential for personalization. Without it, the AI creates your plan based on the fitness level you select during onboarding.

While we currently offer direct integration only with Strava and Garmin, you can absolutely use your complete run history from other apps like Nike Run Club, Adidas Running, or Runkeeper.

There is a simple, one-time process to import your data:

1. Export your activity history from your current app (most platforms offer this).
2. Create a free Strava account and import your activity file into it.
3. Connect that Strava account to Runami during our onboarding process.

This allows our AI to analyze your entire run history, ensuring your training plan is perfectly calibrated from day one.

Yes. Pro plan members can set up a one-way sync from Runami to their Google Calendar. This automatically adds all your planned workouts to your personal calendar so you can see your training alongside your other life events.

Runami is designed for a seamless, automatic experience, so direct manual logging isn't necessary. Our AI coach automatically checks your connected Strava account for new runs every five minutes.

This means as soon as you save your workout in Strava, Runami sees it almost instantly and uses that data to inform your plan. No manual work required from you. For any runs done without a device, you can simply tell your coach on Telegram that you completed the run.
