# PB-Runner

> PB-Runner is a running-coach app for iPhone, Apple Watch, Android and Garmin, made by Bunker 47 LTD (England and Wales, company 09169480). It records runs natively with the full depth the watch can capture, and connects your running history to the AI you already use, Claude, ChatGPT or OpenClaw, which can read your training and write sessions straight to your watch with live audio and haptic guidance. It works with Claude's free plan, so an AI running coach costs nothing to try.

Key facts:
- Two-way AI coaching: your AI reads your runs AND writes your next session to your wrist. Most tools only read.
- Native recording: standalone Apple Watch recording with running form metrics (power, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, stride length), plus iPhone-only and Android recording.
- Garmin: PB-Runner's own Connect IQ watch app plays a scheduled session rep by rep on a Garmin and sends the run back with its route, kilometre splits and per-rep detail.
- Recovery-aware: resting heart rate, HRV and sleep inform the coaching.
- Works with the free Claude plan via an MCP connector; also Claude paid plans and ChatGPT (Plus and above).
- Data substrate is Apple HealthKit, not the Strava API, so runs recorded by any watch app can flow in.
- Free on the App Store, Google Play and the Connect IQ Store.
- Official race app of the BME Crosby Run (10K and 5K), Crosby Coastal Park, Liverpool, Saturday 22 August 2026.
