👟 The plan starts where you are.

Yalla Go asks how far you can run today, then sets week one from your answer — and moves you up only when you're ready.

  • I can run a little
  • I can run a 5K
  • I can run a 10K
  • I can run a half marathon
One app, start to 5K

Your whole running setup.One app.

Most running apps hand you a map and a number and call it coaching. Yalla Go replaces the whole pile. Keep scrolling — the phone keeps up.

  • a training plan you found online
  • a stopwatch and a guess
  • a habit tracker you stopped opening
  • a friend who runs way faster than you
  • yalla, go.

Answer a few questions. Get a plan that fits.

Age, height, weight, how active you are, how far you can run today, and the days you can actually train. Yalla Go turns that into a session-by-session program — and tells you, in plain words, why it built the plan that way.

  • Your real run days

The training loop

Plan. Run. Check in.Repeat.

Three steps that feed each other. Nothing to configure, no spreadsheet, no guessing what tomorrow should look like.

Plan01

Tell it where you're starting.

How far you can run today, what you're training for, how long your sessions should be, which days, and what the ground looks like. No watch data, no benchmark run.

  • Session length & run days
  • Treadmill, flat, or hills
  • Goal and focus
Yalla Go asking where you usually run — inside on a treadmill, outside on flat ground, or outside with hills, wind and heat
Run02

Press start and just listen.

A warm-up guide first, then your coach calls every run and walk break at the right moment. Your phone can stay in your pocket the whole way.

  • Warm-up guide
  • Spoken intervals
  • Keeps talking on lock

Check in03

Rate the effort. The plan listens.

Effort out of ten, how sore you are, whether anything hurt. Stopped early? You decide whether it counts. The next session moves with your answers.

  • Effort 1–10
  • Soreness & pain
  • You choose what counts

The whole feature list.No asterisks.

This is what ships today — not a roadmap.

AI-built running plan

Shaped by your age, weight, activity level, and how far you can run today — then rebuilt as you improve.

Four coach voices

Bella, Brian, Adam, or Antoni. Preview each one, then switch whenever you like.

Real-time voice cues

Warm-up, run, walk, and recovery called out loud — plus why each block is there.

Live GPS tracking

Pace, distance, and your full route mapped, updating as you move.

Treadmill mode

Pace and incline cues with no GPS at all, so a gym or a basement works the same.

Terrain-aware load

Flat, mild, or hills, wind and heat — the plan tunes effort over pace to match.

Calorie estimates

Per-session targets and what you actually burned, this run and this week.

Post-run check-in

Rate effort 1–10, flag soreness or pain, and the next session moves with your answer.

36 achievements

Six badge ladders for distance, time on feet, consistency, and plan progress.

Progress you can read

Streaks, a six-month activity map, weekly distance, and best run versus latest.

Run-day reminders

A nudge on the days you chose, and a heads-up when your plan adapts.

Keeps coaching on lock

Background audio and tracking, so the coach keeps talking with the phone in your pocket.

The science, cited

Every training rule sits next to the study behind it. Tap through to the source.

English & Español

Full app in both, with light, dark, or system appearance.

Shareable milestones

Every unlock gets a card built to send to whoever talked you into this.

🧾 The receipts

You've tried the other options.Here's the gap.

A plan you can't follow isn't a plan. A tracker that only counts kilometres isn't a coach. Here's how the usual options stack up for someone starting out.

Who we are

Built by two people whoneeded it themselves.

We're two senior developers from Palestine who spend long hours at a desk. We wanted to get active and start running, but we needed something to guide us step by step.

Everything we found tracked runs instead of teaching them — and most of it was expensive. So we built Yalla Go: the coach we wanted on day one.

FAQs

Questions we get a lot.

Mostly from people who've tried to start running before and it didn't stick.

Do I need to be able to run already?

No — that's the whole point. Early levels are built around walk breaks, with short runs mixed in, and you stop each run while it still feels easy. Yalla Go picks your starting point from a few questions and only moves you up when you're ready.

Who is actually talking to me?

Whoever you pick. There are four coach voices — Bella, Brian, Adam, and Antoni — and you can tap each one to hear a preview before you choose. They keep talking with the screen locked and the phone in your pocket.

What actually happens during a session?

A warm-up guide first, then you press start and put your phone away. Your coach calls each run, each walk break, and the effort to hold, while the app tracks pace, distance, route, and calories in the background.

Can I use it on a treadmill?

Yes. You tell it where you run — inside on a treadmill, outside on flat ground, or outside with hills, wind, and heat — and it tunes the load to match. Treadmill mode needs no GPS at all.

What if a week goes badly?

After each run you rate the effort out of ten and flag any soreness or pain, and the plan moves with your answers. Stop early and you decide whether it counts. Rest is built into the program, not something to make up for.

Is this just made up, or is there something behind it?

Every training rule in the app sits next to the research it came from — you can tap through to the study. Short early runs, small weekly increases, and effort check-ins that steer the next session are all there with sources.

How much does it cost?

The app is free to download and week one is yours to run. Premium unlocks the rest of your plan — you'll see the price in the app before anything is charged.

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone and Android, from the App Store and Google Play. The app is in English and Español, with light, dark, or system appearance.

Free to download

A plan shaped around you, and a voice that talks you through every session of it. Week one starts whenever you do.
