Everything a good coach does, in your pocket

Built by runners, grounded in training science, and honest about what it knows.

A plan built around you

Your goal, race date, fitness and the days you can run set every pace, long run and easy week.

It adapts as you go

Missed a run or feeling flat? The week is re-planned, and you are told why.

Recovery that counts

Sleep, resting heart rate, HRV and a niggle log shape how hard to push.
