Introducing Zenith. He's a running guide with a zen master's calm. Tell him how you feel and he guides the run around it. Alone, or in a Pack of real runners at the same moment.
Sound is on. He starts talking as you arrive here.
Most running apps only hand you numbers. Zenith hands you calm. He is a guide in your ears with a zen master's patience, and you can talk to him, mid-run, out loud. Tell him you're anxious, flat, wired or wrecked, and he shapes the run around how you actually feel.
Tap to talk. He listens, answers, and changes what comes next.
Heart rate, pace and distance, live. He eases you off before you ask.
He stops you for a stretch, holds the count, and leads the breath.
Real Zenith audio from a run, over the music the way it sounds in the app.
Solo runs have their place. But running with people gets you out the door, carries you through the hard minutes and stays with you long after. Most of us just don't have a run club nearby. A Live Pack run is one, wherever you live.

A set time with real people waiting is a time you keep. That is how a run becomes a habit, and the habit does the work on your mind.
Tap to talk to the Pack, catch a cheer right when the legs start asking questions, and Zenith leading everyone through the same run.
Everyone crosses the line in the same Pack. A finish that is shared is one you remember.
At the start line every phone starts the same song at the same second. A runner in Miami and a runner in Brooklyn hear the same beat at the same moment, the whole way. Join late and you drop in where the Pack is, mid-song.
Apple Music plays it on your own phone, in your own headphones. AutoMix carries one song into the next, so the Pack never drops into silence.
Talk to the Pack and the music steps back under your voice. When Zenith speaks it dips a little, then swells back after his last word.
Once the Pack settles, he calls out every second song inside a coaching line. Never over a runner, never in the warm-up or the finish.
One tap mutes the playlist on your phone only. Unmute and you're back exactly where the Pack is. The Pack chat has its own mute, on the watch too.
The only runner worth beating is the one you were last week. Pick a run you have done and its ghost runs it again beside you, ahead or behind, with Zenith calling the gap.
Nobody else is watching and nobody else's number is on the screen. It's you against you.
Confidence built from evidence: the gap, live, in Zenith's words.

“Ghost run, Michael. You versus you. Fair fight.”
Two ways to run with Apple Watch: on its own with the phone left at home, or with the phone in your pocket and the wrist keeping up. Either way, Zenith and the Pack come with you.

Start from your wrist. The watch owns the run: heart rate, pace, distance and splits come straight from the sensors on your arm. Tap LIVE to join a Pack run from the watch alone, leave on the same second and talk to the Pack from your wrist. When you get back, the phone already knows everything.
Start on the phone and the watch comes to the front on its own: the clock, distance, pace, heart rate, the block you're in and what Zenith is saying. Pause or finish from either. Tap the watch to talk to the Pack with the phone still in your pocket.
With the watch on, Zenith knows when the effort is climbing before you say so, holds you in the zone, and eases you off when you've given enough.
Stop at a crossing and the run pauses itself. Take a step and it's back in about a second, because the watch feels your arm move before GPS catches up.
Turn-by-turn to a destination, your route in RunLive blue on a dark map, and a lap page with your target band a swipe away.
Breathing runs, body scans and gratitude runs with the same breathing orb as the phone. A glance, a pulse on the wrist, a voice in your ears.
Free to download. Zenith is ready the moment you open it.
