In a world where even lacing up your sneakers can feel like a gamble with your knees, a new app is stepping in to change the runner's game. Kate Mihevc Edwards, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, has rolled out RunSource, a running health app cutting through the noise for recreational runners nationwide.
Bridging the Health Gap for Runners
Here's the reality check: dedicated athletes often have a full team in their corner, but for the rest of us pounding the pavement, we're lucky if we even get a basic rundown from our GP after an injury. Enter RunSource—launched in June 2026 after three years of hammering away at the details, it promises to bring the expertise of over 40 vetted running pros right to your pocket.
Why RunSource? Let's Break It Down
Edwards is adamant about the failures she sees time and again. "Runners come to me after spinning their wheels with five other providers," she says, pointing out the fragmentation and lack of specialization. You're hobbling into her office after shelling out mad cash and getting nowhere. That's a raw deal. So she developed RunSource to serve the athletes who, essentially, have been underserved.

The app goes beyond the basics. It hosts AI agents—Katherine and Andrew—who are more than just fancy gadgets. Katherine's your virtual symptom spotter, guiding you through what Edwards calls an "educational symptom checker." Meanwhile, Andrew's your go-to for questions on the nitty-gritty of running, like optimizing your training load or tweaking your diet for performance.
Expert-Filtered Content for the Win
Forget the run-of-the-mill advice you'd glean from an aimless Google search or a chatbot like ChatGPT. Edwards has slapped an 'expert filter' on the content. It's not some wizardry pulling random stuff off the vast internet! Every tidbit has been triple-checked by a squad of pros whose lives revolve around the running life.
Financial Considerations for the Regular Joe
Here's a kicker: this isn’t a bank-buster at $14.99 a month, and they’re even throwing in a two-week free trial. If you're tight on cash but serious about your strides, the app is Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) eligible, thanks to a pact with TruMed. Those savings? They can do some heavy lifting for your wallet.
- Monthly subscription: $14.99
- Annual discount option
- Two-week free trial
- HSA/FSA eligible
Distributed across iOS and Android, RunSource aims to democratize health choices for runners. It's like having a medical unit on your phone without needing to sweat out more fleeting dollars on generalist advice that gets you zilch.
Scaling Expertise for Every Strider
Edwards has already been perfecting this model in her practice, working with elite and amateur runners alike. As the Director of the Medical Team for the Atlanta Track Club, this isn't her first rodeo. But with RunSource, she's scaling up—taking what worked in her practice and dishing it out for the masses.
Every runner deserves the top-shelf advice once reserved for the elite. Edwards isn't just talking a good game. "RunSource doesn’t replace a provider when you need one. It tells you when you need one," she emphasizes. It's about time someone did justice to those wielding sneakers instead of suits.
Final Thoughts
While we sneak closer toward that runner-friendly utopia, it's safe to say RunSource is shaking up more than its fair share of misaligned tibias. If you’ve felt left in the dust while the elites get all the love, this app is likely worth a glance.
