Run smarter.
Score every run.

Rundown turns every Strava activity into a 0–100 score — with the metrics behind it tuned to the run you actually did. An easy run is graded on zone discipline; a long run on fade and efficiency; intervals on rep-to-rep consistency. One number. Honest comparisons.

The problem

You ran. Now what?

Pace, heart rate, splits — your watch hands you 40 numbers and walks away. Was that run good? Did it move you closer to your goal? Are you over-training? Most runners shrug and load the next one.

The Rundown Score

Every run is different. The score is too.

A 4×400 rep workout and a Sunday long run aren't graded the same way — so Rundown swaps the metrics it scores based on what kind of run it actually was. One number out of 100. The metrics behind it change to match the session.

An easy run is about restraint.

If your heart rate stayed in Zone 1–2 and your pace didn't creep up, you ran easy. If it didn't, you didn't.

  • Zone Adherence Primary signal

    How much of the run sat inside the easy-zone HR target — and how far above when you drifted.

    % in target zone % above target Avg HR
  • HR Drift

    Late-run heart-rate creep at the same pace — the giveaway that an "easy" run was actually a tempo.

    Overall drift % First half HR Second half HR
  • Pace Discipline

    Steady pace, no surges. Variability matters more than absolute speed here.

    Avg pace Speed CV Zone fit

A tempo lives in the discomfort zone.

You're trying to spend a long time at threshold — Zone 4 — without falling out the top of it. Did you hold it, or did it hold you?

  • Tempo Sustain Primary signal

    Time spent at or above your tempo threshold, and whether HR stayed steady or spiked.

    % at Zone 4+ Avg HR Peak HR
  • HR Drift

    The whole point of a tempo is metabolic. If HR drifts 6–8 bpm at the same pace, the effort wasn't sustainable.

    First half HR Second half HR Drift %
  • Pace Discipline

    Held the prescribed pace band without bursts.

    Avg pace Speed CV

Intervals are graded rep-by-rep.

Anyone can crush rep one. The scoring asks whether rep six looks like rep one — and whether you actually recovered between them.

  • Work Quality Primary signal

    How fast and clean the working reps were — bursty starts cost you here.

    Work pace Burst count Work-phase CV
  • Interval Consistency

    Rep-to-rep variance. A 1:32 / 1:34 / 1:31 / 1:48 set is not the same workout.

    Rep count Rep CV Avg work speed
  • HR Recovery

    How fast your HR fell between reps. Faster recovery, fitter engine.

    Drop rate (bpm/min) Peak HR Final HR

The long run is judged at minute 90.

Everyone holds pace for the first 5K. Whether the last quarter looks like the first is the whole game.

  • Fueling Signal Primary signal

    Pace fade between the first and last quarter of the run. A clean long run holds within 3–4%.

    Q1 vs Q4 fade Q1 pace Q4 pace
  • Aerobic Efficiency

    Meters per heartbeat. Cardiac drift hides here — same pace, climbing HR, falling efficiency.

    m / beat Avg HR Total beats
  • HR Drift

    How much your engine fought you in the back half. Big drift on a long run = under-fueled or under-trained.

    First half HR Second half HR

Race day has one job: execute.

The plan was the plan. Heat, hills, and pacing get accounted for — but the score is mostly about whether you ran the race you said you'd run.

  • Pace Execution Primary signal

    How close you ran to your target race pace — with credit for negative splits, penalty for a positive split.

    Avg pace Session fit Speed CV
  • Zone Adherence

    Distance-appropriate effort zones. A 5K should live above threshold; a marathon shouldn't.

    % in target zone Avg HR
  • Conditions Adjustment

    Heat, humidity, dew point, elevation gain. Credit where the day was working against you.

    Temperature Dew point Elevation gain

Recovery has the opposite job.

Going slow is the workout. The score rewards low intensity and punishes the urge to "just push it a bit."

  • Recovery Intensity Primary signal

    How much of the run sat below the easy threshold. Cross above it for more than a minute and the score drops.

    % easy Max HR Threshold
  • Zone Adherence

    Time in Zone 1. There's no upper-zone work on a recovery day.

    % in Zone 1 Avg HR

Every run also gets credit for Consistency Streak (your hard/easy ratio across the past 14 days) and Conditions Adjustment (heat & humidity). The session-specific metrics above are what move the needle most.

Weekly insights

The "why" behind every number.

Every Monday Rundown reads your week and tells you what actually moved the needle — and what to do about it. No dashboards to interpret.

Aerobic efficiency improved. Same pace, average HR dropped 4 bpm this week.
+6.4
Consistency slipped on long runs. Last 3 km were 18s/km slower than km 4–10. Even it out.
−3.1
You handle heat better than 78% of users. Adjusted pace held under 1.2% slowdown at 28 °C.
+1.8
