Partial The AI-written cues and plan UI are vibe-codeable, but the product depends on reliable real-time GPS, heart-rate and cadence processing, and iOS background audio that works while running. The adaptive training logic also needs real coaching expertise to be safe and effective.
What it would actually take: Build a native iOS app with Swift, HealthKit, CoreLocation and AVSpeechSynthesis or a cloud TTS, plus a rules engine that decides when to speak. The hard parts are background-execution reliability, low-latency audio ducking with music, and a training model validated by a qualified running coach. Sports-science and beta testing with real runners are needed alongside the engineering.
