Features
Everything a guided run should be. Nothing it shouldn't.
Most running apps give you a fixed script read by a robot, or a human coach reading someone else's plan. ZoneCoach is the gap in between: your words, a human-sounding voice.
🎤
Human-sounding, not robotic
Every cue is spoken in a natural, human-sounding voice. Write “Ease off, you've got this” and hear it exactly like that — never a flat system voice reading splits.
Free every built-in cuePro the lines you write
⏱️
Never caught off guard
“Thirty seconds left in this jog,” then three beeps into every switch. Your coach marks the halfway point and cheers the last interval — and an “Up next” line shows what's coming.
🧮
Pick a workout, or design one
Start from a ready-made run: an easy walk, a 2:1 run/walk, a 5K walk/run. Or build your own with intervals, repeats, and your own coach lines, and send it to a friend so they get the same coaching.
Free 4 ready-made workoutsPro all of them, plus your own
📅
A plan, if you want one
Couch to 30 minutes builds from one-minute jogs to 30 minutes of easy running, one “today's run” at a time. Miss a day and nothing breaks. If a week felt hard, repeat it.
Free week 1 of every planPro every week
🎵
Your music, or ours
Keep Apple Music, Spotify, or a podcast playing — it lowers only while your coach speaks. Or pick the built-in tracks, with a volume slider and a skip button. No account, works offline.
⌚
On your Lock Screen and wrist
The segment countdown and what's next live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. On Apple Watch, see the same at a glance and feel a tap at every switch.
💬
Talk test first
Coached by feel, not heart-rate targets. If you can speak in full sentences, you're in the right zone — built for runners whose medication blunts heart rate too.
🗺
Apple Health is home
Every run saves to Apple Health with its GPS route, heart-rate and pace graphs, time in zone, and your effort rating. Your history shows what you actually ran, split by split, and any run can be shared as a card.
🛡️
A run that can't be lost
If your phone closes the app mid-run, ZoneCoach offers to pick up exactly where you stopped — time, distance, and route intact — or save what you'd done.
