Waddle: Beginner Running Coach

Start where you are. Build a running habit one comfortable outing at a time—with a friendly goose along for the journey.

Waddle helps beginners move from walking to jogging through personalized plans and gentle run-walk intervals. Tell Waddle about your starting point, choose your training days, and get a schedule that fits your week.

A PLAN FOR YOUR STARTING POINT
Choose from 12 plans, including Just Start Walking, Walk-Run Starter, 20-Minute Easy Jog, First 5K, and First 10K. After each outing, share how it felt so upcoming sessions can adjust.

COACHING WHILE YOU MOVE
Follow walking and jogging intervals with spoken cues, haptics, and a live workout screen. Track outdoor distance and routes with GPS, or use indoor timing and enter your treadmill distance afterward. Pause when you need to, or switch to walking when a session feels too hard.

YOUR OWN RUNNING STORY
Keep a history of your time, distance, and reflections. Celebrate showing up with goose rewards and outfits. Make a route postcard, hide the start and finish, and preview it before sharing.

PLAN A LITTLE ADVENTURE
Draw a geographic route on a street map, estimate its distance, and compare it with a completed outing. Drawings are planning ideas, not turn-by-turn navigation or a check that a route is safe or accessible.

YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICES
Runs and routes are stored on your device. Export and restore a backup when you need a copy. Optionally save completed exercise and distance to Health Connect, and choose local workout or trial-renewal reminders. Waddle does not read Health Connect data.

PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP
The app is free to download. A Premium subscription is required to start coached workouts and access paid features. Available plans, prices, trial eligibility, and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Payment is handled by Google Play; manage or cancel your subscription in Google Play.
