For runners

The AI running app that takes you from couch to 5K through a marathon training plan.

Coach Elias plans your blocks, watches your heart rate zone distribution, tracks cardiac drift, and pushes back when your Tuesday tempo runs at Wednesday easy pace. From couch to 5K through Boston qualifier, and every distance in between.

What's inside

What runners actually need

Block-based coaching

Build, stress, recover, sharpen. Elias talks through training in 4-8 week blocks with explicit purposes so every week has a job.

Heart rate zone discipline

Pace and average HR per run are captured automatically. Elias coaches the polarized 80/20 split from that data, keeping your Z2 easy days truly easy and your hard days hard.

Pace + HR feedback

Pace-vs-HR is the cleanest aerobic-base signal we capture today. Elias reads it run-by-run and flags cardiac drift when your easy pace costs more heartbeats than it should.

Race time predictions

A Race Predictor card models your goal-distance time (1mi through 50K) from your recent run history and flags confidence.

Recovery-aware sessions

Low HRV days bump easy runs; truly bad days hold key sessions. Same data layer as Max and Lauryn.

Race-week taper

Elias walks you through taper week based on the block you ran: volume drops, sharpening intervals stay, race-day pacing prep. The conversation does the work.

In the app

The honest playbook

80% of distance runs should be boringly easy in Z2. 20% should be hard. Most app-tracked runners get this wrong, running everything at one moderate pace and wondering why they’re not improving. The running tracker reads your weekly pace and heart rate pattern, and Elias calls drift in either direction in chat.

For race prep, weekly volume ramps matter more than any single workout. ACWR (acute-to-chronic workload ratio) is something Elias watches when reading your mileage history. Most overuse injuries come from going 30mi to 45mi in 3 weeks, and Elias will flag it before you get there.

Pace at the same average HR trending faster over weeks = your aerobic base is improving. The opposite = something is fatigued or under-recovered. Elias reads it both ways from your run log and adjusts what he recommends next.

FAQ

FAQ

Can it coach me through couch to 5K?+
Yes. Coach Elias builds a block-based plan in chat from your current fitness, ramps volume safely, and watches your pace against heart rate so you progress without overuse injuries. Couch to 5K through a marathon Boston qualifier.
Does it work with Garmin / Coros / Strava / Apple Watch?+
Garmin Connect, Coros, and Apple Watch all push runs to Apple Health on iPhone, and we pick them up from there. Strava does not currently push to HealthKit, so Strava runs need to be logged in chat for now. You can sync your Garmin or Apple Watch runs automatically.
Trail running too?+
Yes. Trail runs log distance, duration, pace, and average HR with the surface tagged "trail". Elias coaches by HR/effort rather than pace where pace alone is misleading.
Can it write me a marathon plan?+
Elias will talk through a 16-20 week block-based plan in chat: volume ramp, weekly key sessions, recovery weeks, taper, and adjust as your data comes in.
What about ultras?+
Up to 50 miles is well-covered. For 100+ mile ultras, Elias can advise but you’ll want a human coach who specializes, because variability is too high for AI to be the only voice.
