Question 1

What is a running weather app?

Accepted Answer

A running weather app scores the forecast for running instead of just showing it. RunWeather rates every hour 0-100, finds the best time window to run, and suggests pace adjustments based on heat, dew point, wind, and rain.

Question 2

What is a good Run Score?

Accepted Answer

A Run Score of 65 or above is good running weather, 80 or above is great, and 97+ is a rare perfect morning. Below 45, conditions actively work against you or cross a safety line. The full methodology, with every threshold published, is at runweather.app/how-the-run-score-works.

Question 3

Is this only for runners?

Accepted Answer

RunWeather is designed for running decisions: when to go, how conditions affect effort, and why pace may change. Other endurance athletes may find parts useful, but the product is runner-first.

Question 4

How is this different from Apple Weather or Garmin weather?

Accepted Answer

General weather tools show the forecast. RunWeather translates weather into running effort context, including best windows, pace adjustment suggestions, and explanations tied to heat, dew point, wind, and precipitation.

Question 5

What is weather-adjusted pace?

Accepted Answer

Weather-adjusted pace is what a run was worth on a neutral day: cool, dry, no wind help or hurt. RunWeather shows it next to your actual pace, with the difference as a plain pace delta like +0:14 /km, expected before you head out and actual once the run is done, so a slow run reads as conditions rather than lost fitness.

Question 6

How does the personalized analysis work?

Accepted Answer

Your insights are grounded in weather signals, running context, and research. RunWeather detects personalized patterns in how conditions affect your effort, rather than making vague motivational guesses.

Question 7

Do I need Strava?

Accepted Answer

No. Daily planning works without it: Run Scores, best windows, and pace guidance need no account at all. Connecting Strava is optional and adds historical weather context and deeper insights across your completed runs.

Question 8

Do you sell my data?

Accepted Answer

No. RunWeather does not sell your data. Sync is optional, and the purpose is to give you better training context, not to monetize your activity history.

Question 9

What does RunWeather cost?

Accepted Answer

RunWeather is free to download and use for Run Scores, best windows, and daily planning. Pro is an optional subscription at $39.99 per year or $6.99 per month, and adds weather-adjusted pace, Strava history with weather context, and personalized pattern insights.

Question 10

Is it available on iPhone and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RunWeather is available now on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).

Question 11

Is Garmin supported?

Accepted Answer

Garmin support is planned. Strava sync is available now.
