About RunIntensity: Training Load
Your 40 miles this week hit like 55. RunIntensity is the running app that knows the difference. Distance and pace don't tell you how hard a week really was. A hilly run in the heat or a tempo on tired legs costs more than the mileage suggests. RunIntensity scores every run in Stress-Adjusted Miles (SAM), a five-factor training load model built from heart rate, terrain, surface, cumulative fatigue and conditions. Your weekly mileage becomes a weekly training load you can plan around. TWO NUMBERS, ONE ANSWER EVERY MORNING RunIntensity reads what your watch already writes to Apple Health and scores two things separately, 0–100: • Recovery — heart, nervous system and sleep. HRV, sleep and resting heart rate against your own baseline. Snaps back overnight. • Freshness — muscles, tendons and joints. How much of your recent training your legs have absorbed. Drops with a hard session, climbs back over hours or days. Then one call: Ready, Steady or Recover. Ready only when both are high; Steady when one system is still catching up; Recover when rest is the workout. Recovered isn't the same as healed — this is the app that knows when you're overdoing it. KNOW WHAT TO DO TODAY Your verdict, today's workout, your weekly training load budget and a one-tap start. Widgets, Siri ("What's my readiness?") and Control Center keep it one glance away.

What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated September 26, 2026
Readiness gets two new signals, and hot days finally count. • Illness signal — when your overnight wrist temperature or breathing rate runs above your own baseline, Readiness says Recover and tells you why. Needs an Apple Watch that records them. • Heat — a hot, humid run asks more of you than the same run in cool air. Your Freshness now reflects that, and each workout shows the pace it would have been in cool conditions ("feels like 7:25"). Stress-Adjusted Miles are unchanged, so your weekly totals stay comparable. • Time on your feet — days well past your usual step count now count as easy walking against Freshness, so a 20,000-step travel day no longer looks like a rest day. • Your intensity-coloured route maps now appear on the coach web dashboard, with the same Stress / Pace / Heart rate / Elevation views and a fly-through of the route. Plus the usual round of fixes.
