Running + strength, connected

Your training.
A little clearer.

Open Runna for your run, Hevy to log lifts, and The Outsiders to review readiness. Apple Health is the local data hub.

Record once. Understand the whole picture.
A guide to my setup, without the extra dashboards.

What are you doing today?

Get context before you start.

Check the signals, then open the app for your session.

  1. ReviewThe Outsiders

    See readiness and recent training load.

  2. Add contextWHOOP

    Read recovery as a supporting signal.

  3. Open your sessionRunna or Hevy

    Use Runna for your run; Hevy for your lifting record.

The signals inform you. You still make the training decision.

One run. One recording.

Keep the running plan and the recording in their own roles.

  1. Find the sessionRunna

    Open the running plan and guided 21K session.

  2. Record onceApple Watch Ultra 2

    Use your chosen recording app on the watch; avoid a second recording of the same run.

  3. Review laterThe Outsiders

    Review training load after supported data reaches Apple Health.

Runna owns the running structure. A second dashboard does not need a second workout.

Make the next session easier to log.

Keep a useful record of what you actually lifted.

  1. Look backHevy

    Check your previous sets, reps, and working weights.

  2. Log the sessionHevy

    Record completed sets, reps, loads, and notes. Keep one workout recording owner.

  3. Review progressHevy

    Compare lifting history. Use The Outsiders separately for readiness and training load.

Hevy owns the lifting record. It is not the readiness dashboard.

Look for trends, in the right place.

Review the record without copying it into more tools.

  1. Review the workRunna + Hevy

    Look back at running sessions and lifting progression.

  2. Review the contextThe Outsiders + WHOOP

    Use load and recovery as distinct signals.

  3. Zoom outWithings

    Check body trends over time. Gentler Streak adds optional wellbeing context.

One signal, one place to interpret it. No extra dashboard required.

01 / The apps

One clear job for each tool.

Start with the role. The app is just where that part of the system lives.

Plan & log

The work you intend to do, and what you completed.

Runna

Running Plan

Owns running structure and guided 21K sessions.

Record & connect

One activity recording, with Apple Health as the local hub.

Apple Watch Ultra 2

Activity Recorder

Records activity once without owning the plan.

Apple Health

Local Health Hub

Routes supported data locally as the hub.

Review & understand

Separate signals, each with a clear purpose.

The Outsiders

Readiness Dashboard

Owns readiness and training load review.

WHOOP

Recovery Signal

Adds recovery context to training decisions without replacing the plan.

Withings

Body Metrics

Tracks body composition and trend.

Gentler Streak

Optional Wellbeing Guardrail

Adds optional wellbeing context only.

Optional

02 / The connections

A hub, with clear boundaries.

Recording a workout, storing it, and interpreting it are different jobs.

How the system fits together
  1. 01 / Plan & record

    Capture the work.

    Apple Watch Ultra 2
    One workout recording owner.

    Runna · Hevy
    Running structure and lifting history.

  2. 02 / Connect

    Apple Health

    The local hub for supported health and activity data.

    Stores data. Does not coach.
  3. 03 / Understand

    Read the signals.

    The Outsiders
    Readiness and training load.

    WHOOP · Withings
    Recovery and body trends stay distinct.

Conceptual map, not a live sync status. Data sharing depends on each app’s support and your permissions. Detailed sets, reps, and progression remain in Hevy; this map does not imply those fields sync through Apple Health. Gentler Streak is an optional wellbeing check.

The final decision stays with you. Showing the same workout in two apps does not mean recording it twice.

03 / Training vocabulary

Read a workout. Understand every part.

English terms, plain Thai explanations.

3 sets

60 kg working weight

About 3 reps left

ในตัวอย่างนี้ RIR 3 หมายถึง เมื่อจบ set คาดว่ายังทำต่อได้ประมาณ 3 ครั้งด้วย form ที่เหมาะสม — ใกล้เคียง RPE 7 สำหรับการยกเวท

ตัวอย่างBench 5 reps = ยก 5 ครั้ง

ตัวอย่าง3 × 5 = 3 sets × 5 reps หรือ 3 ชุด ชุดละ 5 ครั้ง
Working SetMain training set
Set หลักตามโปรแกรม หลังจาก warm-upWarm-up ก็สร้างภาระต่อร่างกายได้ ไม่ใช่ว่าไม่มี training load
ตัวอย่างBench 3 × 5 หลัง warm-up คือ 3 working sets
Warm-up SetPreparation set
Set เตรียมตัวก่อน working sets
ตัวอย่างBar × 10 → 40 kg × 5 → แล้วค่อย working weight
Working WeightLoad used for working sets
น้ำหนักที่ใช้ใน working sets
ตัวอย่างBench 60 kg สำหรับ 3 × 5
RMRepetition Maximum
น้ำหนักสูงสุดที่ยกได้ตามจำนวน reps นั้น ด้วย form ที่เหมาะสม
ตัวอย่าง5RM = น้ำหนักสูงสุดที่ยกได้ครบ 5 ครั้ง
1RMOne Repetition Maximum
น้ำหนักสูงสุดที่ยกได้ 1 ครั้ง ด้วย form ที่เหมาะสม
ตัวอย่าง1RM Bench = 100 kg เป็นเพียงตัวอย่าง ไม่ใช่เป้าหมายที่ต้องทดสอบ
RIRReps In Reserve
หลังหยุด set แล้ว คิดว่ายังเหลืออีกกี่ reps ที่ทำได้ด้วย form ที่เหมาะสม
ตัวอย่างRIR 3 = ยังทำต่อได้ประมาณ 3 ครั้ง
RPERating of Perceived Exertion
ความหนักที่รู้สึกของ set ในสเกล 1–10 สำหรับ strength trainingRPE ↔ RIR เป็นค่าประมาณสำหรับการยกเวท ไม่ใช่สูตรตายตัวสำหรับทุกกิจกรรม
ตัวอย่างRPE 7 ≈ เหลือประมาณ 3 reps (RIR 3)
FailureNo further rep with suitable form
ทำ rep ต่อด้วย form ที่เหมาะสมไม่ได้แล้ว
ตัวอย่างในบริบทนี้ ≈ RPE 10 / RIR 0 ไม่ใช่คำแนะนำให้ยกจน failure
DOMSDelayed Onset Muscle Soreness
อาการปวดกล้ามเนื้อที่เกิดขึ้นภายหลังการฝึกความปวดไม่ใช่ตัววัดว่าฝึกได้ดีแค่ไหน
ตัวอย่างอาจรู้สึกปวดหลัง train 1–2 วัน และมักมากในช่วง 24–72 ชั่วโมง
About these definitions

Examples describe vocabulary, not training targets. RPE and RIR are approximate, strength-specific estimates. Definitions are informed by research on RIR-based RPE and ACSM’s explanation of DOMS.

04 / Keep it simple

Less duplication. More clarity.

A few rules keep the tools working together.

  1. 01

    Record once.

    One workout gets one recording owner; do not manually copy the same session into multiple dashboards.

  2. 02

    Keep owners separate.

    Displaying data does not make an app the owner; avoid adding another source of truth.

  3. 03

    Review signal, not noise.

    A signal gets one interpretation owner; Gentler Streak stays a guardrail, not a planning replacement.

A rhythm for checking in.

Daily
Check readiness and recovery before training decisions.
Session
Follow the app that owns the session type.
Weekly
Review running, lifting, load, and recovery trends.
Periodic
Review body trend without reacting to daily noise.
Why not Strava, Intervals.icu, or TrainingPeaks?
  • Strava

    Excluded because social sharing is outside this operating model.

  • Intervals.icu

    Excluded because I prefer The Outsiders UX/UI for long-term use.

  • TrainingPeaks

    Excluded for now because this is not coach-style planning yet.
