03 / INCLINE TREADMILL TRAINING

Train on hills,
at home.

The route’s climbs and descents change the speed and incline targets. You copy them onto your treadmill console as you run.

Choose a reference pace and enter your machine’s limits. The game takes them into account when it suggests settings.

For now, you set the treadmill by hand: Runkyz doesn’t control it over Bluetooth, and its speed targets are in km/h.

ABOUT RUNKYZ

Frequently asked
questions

What is Runkyz?

Runkyz is a game for running on a treadmill at home. You explore a 3D route with a virtual pacer. The game shows speed and incline targets that you set on your treadmill by hand.

Do I need a smart treadmill?

The current version works with manual settings: you don’t need to connect your treadmill over Bluetooth. A treadmill with adjustable speed, ideally adjustable incline too, and a computer are all you need. Sensor reading and Bluetooth control aren’t available yet, and speed targets are shown in km/h.

Is Runkyz free?

Yes: Desert and Wild Ring are free for 3, 5 and 10 km sessions. The license unlocks Space at every distance, sessions over 10 km in every world and GPX import. Wild Ring keeps its flat 400 m track: you run laps until you reach the distance you chose.

Can I follow a treadmill training plan?

Runkyz can support your sessions with terrain, a pacer and progress markers. The current version doesn’t offer a personalized training calendar or interval workout import. Our guides explain how to prepare your sessions.

Can I run my own routes?

Yes, with the license: import a GPX file, for example exported from Garmin Connect or Strava. Runkyz rebuilds its track and terrain in a 3D setting. If the file includes timestamps, the pacer can replay your run. It isn’t a photographic copy of the place.

Can I run with other people?

You can run with a virtual pacer and replay a recorded run. Online multiplayer isn’t available yet.

How is it different from Zwift or Kinomap?

Zwift offers 3D worlds shared online and Kinomap filmed videos. Both are subscriptions and follow your speed through a connected treadmill or a sensor. Runkyz is set by hand, with no sensor: Desert and Wild Ring are free up to 10 km, and the license is a €9.99 one-time purchase. Read our treadmill app comparison.
