OwnRun builds a training plan around one race — then rewrites the week when your body, the weather or the road says otherwise.
Your runs, health data and plans live on your phone — and they stay yours.
01 — Why I built it
I'm a runner, not a sports scientist. Somewhere around the fifth training block I stopped finding answers — the plan said 16 km, and the plan was wrong. I'd had a bad night of sleep, a long week at work, rain all morning, and legs that had nothing left in them.
Spreadsheet templates assume those things aren't happening. They build a beautiful block and then ask you to follow it anyway, and when you can't, you feel like you've failed the plan rather than learned something about your own body.
So I built OwnRun for myself: set where I actually am, point it at a race, and let it put the weeks together. When the week turns difficult it moves the session instead of me moving the plan. The goal was always the same — reach the start line healthy enough to race the way I'd trained.
Training and health data is the most personal data you own, so OwnRun keeps it in local storage on your device instead of on an account somewhere else.
How OwnRun handles your data →02 — What it does
OwnRun is built around two jobs — putting the weeks together, and taking them apart again when the conditions move.
Enter your current ability — a recent distance and time is enough — and the race you're building toward, with its date. OwnRun works out the weeks in between instead of handing you a block written for somebody else.
The plan is yours from the first day, with every session laid out: what it is, how long, and which effort it should feel like.
Before a session, tell OwnRun how you are and it adjusts the day around what you reported — shifting, scaling or swapping the workout rather than leaving you to decide at the kerb.
It reads your recent training load too, so a hard week is followed by an easier one, and it takes weather and road conditions into account when that changes what is sensible to run.

OwnRun works out your plan on the phone. The data behind it — every run, every track, every reading — stays on the phone too.
Worth being precise about. Weather lookups send coordinates rounded to about a kilometre and a date, with no account identifier attached, and the Strava connection only ever reads. The one thing that does live on our side is an account, so your subscription and your devices can be tied to you: a random ID and the shape of the plan you create, never your runs, routes or health readings. Sign in with Google or Apple and an email address is attached to it. You can delete the account from Settings at any time.
04 — Pricing
OwnRun is paid for by its users rather than by selling your training history. Both options get the same plan builder and the same tools.
The whole app, with a small number of ads. They're kept out of the sessions that matter and they're what keeps OwnRun running.
One payment a year, no ads anywhere in the app. Every feature in the free version stays exactly as it is.
