I made an app to help plan your Weekly Runs

Hello there, When I started training for the first marathon in my life, I download a 6 months training plan, printed it, pinned it to my fridge, and started circling each completed training day. Sadly, I would often get injured during my runs, which would lead to days or weeks without running, and a lot of changes to the plan I had printed. All running apps that I tried either forced me to follow their plan from the start (which I didn’t want to do because I was already in the middle of training) or made it extremely slow and difficult to add a custom plan. So I decided to create my own app,…

I made an app to help plan your Weekly Runs launched on April 29, 2023 with 5 votes, #2,314 of 4,853 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

What it does

I built it to plan my weekly running schedule. It

No need to start from scratch every week. Just copy last week and tweak it if things change. If you're taking a break, you don't need to rework the whole plan. You can build your own warm-up plan. It’ll show up before each run. Simple charts that show your weekly mileage and long runs—so you don’t have to guess whether you’ve been consistent. You can label each run—like long run, recovery, trail, or race—to keep things organized and easy to look back on later. We will never send emails from a web.app or firebaseapp.comfrom weeklyruns.web.app

    Hey HN, I'm a solo developer and I built Steps: Workout & Pedometer, an iOS pedometer and workout tracker. Last week, two German iOS publications wrote about the app. I didn't pitch them. I didn't send a press release. I didn't even know it was happening. I woke up to a spike in downloads, checked the analytics, and traced it back to their articles. That coverage pushed the app past $1,000 in sales. I still have no idea how they found the app. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience getting featured in publications, whether organically or through outreach. What worked for you? Any tips…

    Ran my first marathon. Didn’t want to keep paying so much for Runna. So I built a running coach app, and then kept improving it more and more, i think it’s pretty good now. Give it a try and share your thoughts.

    I am a software developer and in the last few months after recently becoming a father I was barely finding time for a proper workout. Recently I was reading about new research on Snack Exercises and how beneficial mini workouts of less than 2mins every so often, during the day are to our body. So, I decided to build an iOS App for me and others to help with this. The app generates a list of exercises that I need to tick to complete daily or loose my streak. The algorithm takes into account muscle groups and balancing the exercises to hit most main muscles. I also stayed going through all…
