Three screens from a test runner's first week

  • Review Plan screen for a 17-week Marathon Build toward City Marathon. A card labelled The Arc charts weekly mileage across Base, Build, Peak and Taper phases, peaking at 61 miles per week with a longest run of 21 miles. Below it, Why This Shape explains the block in plain words.

    The arc

    The whole block toward race day, and why it has that shape.

  • A card titled What Changed This Week. Tuesday, 6 by 800 metres at threshold: reps came in 4 seconds per mile faster than target, so Thursday's tempo moved to 7:12 per mile and Friday stays easy. Saturday, 20 mile long run: the last 6 at marathon pace held 7:09, so no change is needed.

    What changed

    When a run changes the plan, the week says so, and why.

  • Activity Details for a 4.9 mile indoor treadmill run: 50 minutes 47 seconds moving time, 10:20 per mile average pace, average heart rate 157 and max 162 beats per minute, with a button to link the run to a planned workout.

    Every run

    Each run comes in with its numbers, ready to link to the plan.

The bar

A coach that shows its work

  • Every change has a receipt

    When a run moves the plan, you see which run, what changed and why. Bigger adjustments arrive as a proposal, and nothing moves until you confirm it.

  • Effort first, pace second

    Workouts are prescribed by effort, with pace as a guide, so they still make sense on a hill, a trail or a treadmill.

  • A blend, not a template

    Plans draw on two or three established coaching philosophies, chosen for you, from research across 14 well-known running coaches. Never one coach's plan with your name on it.
