RUNALYZE

RUNALYZE suits an endurance athlete who wants detailed analysis after training rather than a watch app that coaches a session live. Its broad import options and historical connections make it useful for combining data from several services, while the free tier covers core performance measures. Activities must reach the account through a connected service, upload, or API, and the Android app is only a companion. Check platform availability, browser requirements, and which Premium tools matter before paying yearly.

Estimates effective VO2max from heart rate and pace.
Predicts races from 3 km through ultramarathon.
Imports data through many services, files, and APIs.

StrongLifts

StrongLifts suits someone who wants a prescribed barbell routine with progression handled inside the app. The beginner and intermediate templates give a clear starting point, while exercise substitutions and custom programs leave room to adjust the plan. Apple Watch users get set logging, rest alerts, and calculation tools on the watch. Budget for a subscription: there is no free plan, and only the yearly option carries a 7-day trial. Check platform needs carefully if you use a watch other than Apple Watch.

Automatic progression responds to successful and failed sets.
More than 100 exercises include videos and form guidance.
Apple Watch logs sets and provides rest notifications.
