About RUNLOVE & External Services

RunLove is a platform for running coaches and athletes. Coaches create structured training plans, and athletes can optionally connect third-party services to sync completed activities.

Important: Training plans are created personally by your coach. We do not use AI algorithms to generate workouts.
