FAQ

Common Questions.

Are both apps free?

Both Ready to Run and Run Foundations are free to download on the App Store. Run Foundations includes an optional subscription for full access to the complete drill library.

Do I need to be a Run Boulder AC member to use the apps?

No. Both apps are available to any runner, anywhere. You don't need to train with the group or have a coaching relationship with Kathy to download and use them.

What is the difference between the two apps?

Ready to Run is a training companion — race predictor, run log, daily readiness check-in, and drill library. Run Foundations is a dedicated drill app with 20+ running drills and coaching cues focused on movement quality. They complement each other and many runners use both.

Who made the apps?

Both apps were created by Kathy Butler — 2× Olympian and Run Boulder AC head coach. The coaching cues and content reflect the same approach she uses with her athletes in Boulder and online worldwide.
