Samsung is planning to introduce a new feature in One UI 8 - "Running Coach", which will turn a smartphone into a personal running coach.

Here's What We Know

This intelligent coach assesses the user's physical fitness with a 12-minute running test, during which you need to run as far as possible. Based on this data, the system creates a personalised training plan to help you improve your performance and reduce the risk of injury.

Running Coach integrates with the Samsung fitness ecosystem. In particular, the feature will work with the Galaxy Watch smartwatch, using real-time heart rate and exercise levels. It will track your heart rate and workload in real time, and the coach will give you advice while you're running. This way, you can adjust your pace and effort to run comfortably and efficiently.

The main advantage of the new coach is personalisation. The system doesn't just count steps, but tracks progress, offers an assessment of your fitness level, and adapts the programme to the owner of the device. If you don't have a watch, the basic version of the training plan will run directly on your smartphone.

One UI 8, based on Android 16, with Running Coach should be a useful tool for both experienced runners and those who are just starting out. Samsung continues to develop its services for a healthy lifestyle, making training more accessible and safer. We look forward to the official release and more information in the near future.
