Smart Runner: On-Device Adaptive Training App for 5K to Marathon Launches on Product Hunt
By

Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Smart Runner is a fitness app launching on Product Hunt that creates adaptive 5K-to-marathon training plans based on a single race result. It uses VDOT-based pacing, ATL/CTL/TSB load tracking, and follows methodologies from Pfitzinger, Daniels, and Canova. Key differentiators include being a one-time purchase (no subscription), running entirely on-device with no account or server required, and offering a native Apple Watch app with live pace and HR zones. It includes a 14-day free trial.

Two things make it different: it's a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and it runs entirely on-device.
No account, no server, nothing leaves your phone.
