Could you build this?

Partial Run tracking, meal logging, workout guidance, and the campaign UI are approachable. A native iOS app that renders adaptive 3D monster chases from GPS pace data and uses park data is a meaningful step up in difficulty and needs game-engine and mobile expertise.

What it would actually take: Build a native iOS app (Swift with HealthKit and CoreLocation) that tracks runs, plus a 3D chase scene in a game engine such as Unity or RealityKit, driven by pace. Hard parts are real-time 3D rendering on device, tuning adaptive chase mechanics, and sourcing and cleaning local trail data. This needs game development and iOS expertise, plus content and playtesting time.
