ZeeRun: Run Tracker & Coach

Something hurts, and every other running app will still cheerfully hand you a tempo session.

ZeeRun asks where it hurts, how bad it is, and whether it gets worse or better as you run — then tells you whether to run, modify or stop, and what it takes to get back.

THE NIGGLE ROOM Tap the spot on an anatomical body map: shin, calf, achilles, knee, hip, foot, hamstring, groin, IT band, back — each side tracked separately, so a left achilles and a right knee are two different stories. Then answer three quick questions. Get a plain-language run, modify or stop verdict, with the reason behind it and the red flags that mean see a clinician, not an app.

Anything worse than a watch-list ache opens a return-to-run ladder: four rungs from walk-jog back to a full session, each with a pass condition you clear before the next unlocks. The ladder is free, and your plan must respect the rung you are on — it cannot serve you a tempo on rung one.
