A clear week, every week
Today’s run on the home screen and the whole week on a calendar: easy runs, tempo, intervals, long runs, recovery and strength days.
For running coaches
Your runners. Your app.
The app for running coaches who want their own name on their runners’ phones. Plans from 5K to marathon, every run logged with effort and feel, and your feedback on each session. No app store, live tonight.
Founding Partners: $15 a month, 20 active paying runners included.
What your runners get.
Sessions they understand
Each session spells out the warm-up, main set, drills and cool-down, with an effort profile, RPE guidance and why the session matters.
Logging in seconds
Distance, time, effort on the 1–10 RPE scale, how it felt and a note. A planned run that never gets logged shows up as missed, so you know.
A thread on every run
Runners comment on a session and you reply right there. The conversation stays with the run it’s about, not lost in a group chat.
Progress that motivates
Distance over time and how consistently they show up, so your runners see the work adding up.
You, in their pocket
Coach’s Corner holds your welcome video plus articles and videos for your runners, so the app feels like you, not like software.
What you get as the coach.
Plans from 5K to marathon
Start from 5K, 10K and half marathon templates by level, or build your own week by week for any distance up to the marathon. Assign a plan to a runner in a few taps.
One feedback inbox
Every comment from every runner in one place, so nobody waits days for an answer.
Memberships, your way
Set up membership tiers with the plans and features each one includes. You sell them wherever you already take payment.
Who needs a nudge
See who ran, who missed a session and who has gone inactive, without scrolling through spreadsheets and messages.
Fuel, if you want it
Optional meal plans you publish and a simple fluid log. No calorie counting. Turn it on only if it fits your coaching.
English and Norwegian
Your runners can use the app in English or Norwegian.
Compared with running coach software.
Final Surge and VDOT O2 are good platforms built around their own app. Athvilo gives your runners an app with your name on it. Here’s the monthly price for each, by number of runners.
| Runners | Athvilo (Founding Partners) | Final Surge | VDOT O2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | $15.00 | $39.00 | $29.99 |
| 40 | $20.00 | $39.00 | $39.99 |
| 80 | $30.00 | $39.00 | $39.99 |
Athvilo prices are the Founding Partners plan, which counts only active paying runners. Competitor prices are their published monthly prices, checked October 2026. Features differ: Final Surge and VDOT O2 sync with GPS watches, which Athvilo doesn’t do yet. If automatic Garmin or Strava sync is a must for you today, they’re the better fit.
Questions running coaches ask.
Do my runners need to download an app from the App Store?
No. They open your invite link and add your app to their home screen in one tap. It works on iPhone and Android, with your name and icon.
Does Athvilo sync with Garmin or Strava?
Not yet. Runners log each run in your app with distance, time, effort (RPE) and how it felt. Watch sync is on the roadmap.
Can I use my own training plans?
Yes. Start from a 5K, 10K or half marathon template, or build your own week by week for any distance up to the marathon, then assign it to a runner.
What does it cost?
Founding Partners pay $15 a month with 20 active paying clients included, then $0.25 per extra active paying client. Runners on trial, paused or no longer active don’t count. See pricing.
Is the app available in Norwegian?
Yes. The runner app is available in English and Norwegian.
