About this app

The world's best distance runners didn't get there by crushing themselves every session. They train smarter — using controlled "threshold" running that builds a powerful aerobic engine while staying fresh and injury-free. It's the method pioneered by Marius Bakken and behind Norway's dominance in distance running. Now it's in your pocket.

RTNW is your adaptive running coach. Tell it your goal, and it builds a personal plan that adapts to your life, your fitness, and how you feel — day by day.

Why runners choose RTNW:
- Train smarter, not harder — the Norwegian sub-threshold method, proven at the highest level
- A plan that truly adapts — miss a day, feel tired, or get stronger, and tomorrow adjusts
- Real-time coaching on every run — clear RUN, JOG and WALK cues with a countdown, so you always know exactly what to do
- Watch yourself improve — your threshold pace climbing week after week is the proof it's working
- Race ready — set your race date and the plan tapers you to a fresh, fast start line
- For every runner — from your very first 5K to a marathon, beginner to advanced, and a safe way back after a break
- Built to keep you healthy — gradual, science-based progression that protects you from the injuries that derail most runners

No lab. No expensive coach. No guesswork. Just open the app and run.

Hit a plateau? Coming back from injury? Chasing a personal best? RTNW meets you exactly where you are — and takes you further.

Free to start. Upgrade to Premium for your full adaptive plan, advanced progress analytics, and race-specific coaching.
