Why PacePartner is built differently
Runna is an excellent app for runners looking for a structured, closed-loop training application with visual videos and pre-packaged plans. However, for athletes who use Intervals.icu as their database, Runna forces a separate ecosystem.
PacePartner acts as an agentic layers on top of your existing database. It checks your HRV, sleeping trends, and ATL/CTL in the morning, adapts your scheduled workouts directly on Intervals.icu, and briefs you on Telegram or WhatsApp. You keep your existing watches, setups, and database.
