Runsy, an AI running coach for iPhone, has launched five running calculators that race directors, running clubs and coaches can place directly on their own websites. The widgets cover pace calculations for the 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, plus a race time predictor, and are intended for organizers who want to give runners pacing tools without building or maintaining their own.
A race director or club administrator adds a widget by copying a snippet of code into any web page that accepts HTML, a process detailed on the page for the running calculator widgets. There is no account to create, no fee to pay and no advertising on the widget itself. The only requirement for hosts is to keep the one-line credit that links back to Runsy. An optional script can be added to adjust the widget’s frame height automatically; without it, the widget runs at a fixed height.
The widgets fit screen widths from about 300 pixels and up, supporting phone and desktop layouts. Each widget loads only when a site visitor scrolls to it, and any links within a widget open in a new browser tab. The calculators themselves are served from Runsy, so a host’s existing widget will reflect improvements and corrections Runsy makes to its calculators over time without any action by the host. The widgets count views without using cookies or storage on the host site or recording sessions.
Alongside the widget launch, Runsy publishes course guides for 20 US races in its race guides section, with qualifying-time pages for major marathons and an index of qualifier courses. The website tools, including the calculators and race guides, are separate from the Runsy iPhone app, which offers a paid coaching subscription after an initial trial period.
“Race directors and club coaches should spend their time on runners, not on maintaining pace charts. We built these calculators for our own site, and now anyone who runs a race or a club can put them on theirs, with nothing to set up and nothing to maintain,” said Claudio Fuentes, founder of Runsy.
More information about the company and its tools is available at Runsy.
