Start
A life as an athlete.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an athlete. Training six days a week, races every weekend. One goal: improve by a hundredth of a second, by a centimeter.
Our story
We exist to help every person be at their best.
It all started with an athlete, a knee and a question: how can I help others make it?
How it began
Ousseni’s story.
“As an athlete, I dreamed of someone by my side helping me grow. Today we’re building it for everyone.”
From the track to Runtheons, stop by stop. Tap a stop to see what happened.

2019
The dream comes true.
In 2019, after years of sacrifice, my coach and I made it: the qualifying standard for the European Athletics Championships.

2019
The day everything changed.
A few months later, during a high jump test, my knee gave way. The doctor told me: a full year of rest.

Years of research
The right question.
Sport taught me how to start again. I began asking myself why it had happened. I talked to athletes, coaches, experts and doctors. I found out that more than 4 athletes in 10 get injured at least once a season. And that many struggle to find the right people by their side.

2023
A new mission.
That discovery became my new reason to live: helping every athlete be at their best, and healthy. I had been programming for years. I started building the solution and looking for the right people to do it together. In 2023, in Salò, Runtheons was born.

Together
Meeting Marco.
Runtheons had already started when I met Marco Righettini, almost by chance. We brought our skills together and built the team from there. Today Marco is co-founder, CXO and CMO of Runtheons.
Our vision
We help you understand what’s good for your body, so you feel well every day.
Your body is different from everyone else’s. That’s why we’re building help that learns to know it: how you move, how you eat, how you sleep, how you feel. The better it knows you, the more it can help.
TodayYou keep training, even when your week changes.
On Wednesday and Thursday you work late. You tell Alfred. Alfred fits your workouts into the other days and keeps the busy ones free.
You train consistently, at your own pace, and your body stays fit.
TomorrowYou’ll understand why you feel tired.
For a few days you’ve felt low on energy. Alfred will look at your sleep, your workouts and your meals together, and help you find the reason: maybe you sleep too little and rush your lunch. Two small changes, and your energy comes back.
You have more energy at work and at home, and you know where it comes from.
One dayYour doctor will see the full picture.
You visit your family doctor. The doctor will see your blood tests, your sleep and your movement together, and can suggest care designed just for you, while a problem is still small.
You take care of yourself earlier and better, with care made for you.
Our dream is to bring this help to everyone: 8 billion people.
From sport to everyday life
I built this technology to help athletes train better and stay healthy. Then I realized the same technology can help anyone feel better: people starting from zero, people who want more energy, people who want to look and feel better. That’s why Runtheons is for everyone today.

Behind Alfred there’s a team.
Doctors, engineers, physiologists and coaches work together. Every idea goes through the field, science and code before it reaches you.

Salòour home base, on Lake Garda
Sports performance
Coaches and athletes, including professionals, who bring field experience into the product: how a plan is built and what people who train really need.
Data science and AI
Engineers and researchers who build Alfred, the human body simulation, video movement analysis and the wearable integrations.
Medicine
Doctors and healthcare professionals who set the limits of the system and keep training support clearly separate from a medical visit.
Human physiology
Experts in exercise, recovery and nutrition who turn scientific research into simple, practical advice.
How we work
Every feature goes through the field, science and code before it reaches you.
Who we’re looking for
People who can think, question and execute with clarity.
What we believe.
Four ideas guide everything we do. Here’s what they mean for you, in everyday life.
01Every body is unique.
You and a friend both want to run 10 km. Alfred builds two different plans, because it looks at your age, your level, past injuries and how you feel today.
You make progress faster and train safely.
02Technology adapts to the person.
You slept badly last night. You open the app and find a lighter workout. Travelling for work next week? Your plan moves with you.
You keep training, even in your busiest weeks.
03Health is made of many things.
You feel tired and think you need to train more. Sometimes the answer is better sleep or eating differently. That’s why we look at movement, food, sleep and mood, all together.
You feel truly well, in body and mind.
- 04
Understand the body, instead of guessing.
You film yourself running and see how your foot lands. Every piece of advice comes from your data and from the work of doctors, physiologists and engineers.
You know what’s good for you and why, and you reach your goals sooner.
