Runo is a metronome application designed specifically for runners to maintain consistent pacing during their workouts. It transforms pace into rhythm, allowing users to set their desired cadence and run to the beat through earbuds.

The app offers cadence settings ranging from 120 to 220 steps per minute (SPM) and includes Apple Watch haptic beats functionality that works without headphones. Social features enable users to connect with friends and compete on leaderboards, while Strava sync allows for workout tracking integration. A treadmill mode is also available for indoor running sessions.

Runo works by converting running pace into audible or haptic rhythms that guide the runner's stride frequency. The Apple Watch integration provides haptic feedback directly to the wrist, eliminating the need for headphones during workouts.

Using Runo helps reduce impact forces and injury risk while improving running economy by up to 10%. The consistent cadence maintenance prevents pace drift and helps runners maintain proper form even when experiencing fatigue during longer runs.

The application targets marathon runners and fitness enthusiasts who struggle with inconsistent pacing. It integrates with Strava for workout synchronization and is built by experienced marathon runners who understand pacing challenges.
