Coach

Your runs. Your week. Your life.

A running plan
that adapts
to you

Keep recording runs the way you do now. Coach uses the runs and heart-rate data your setup writes to Apple Health.

Coach builds and adapts your plan on your iPhone. No training-history uploads, analytics, tracking, or ads.

Understand your training

Fitness, Focus, & Fatigue

Your core training measures show progress, plan follow-through, and strain. Together, they help Coach choose the next step.

01

Fitness

What can you do now?

Your hardest runs show what you can do now, and how that is changing.

Current fitness sets your paces. Your goal time does not.

02

Focus

Is your plan fitting your week?

Plan follow-through shows how closely your training matches the schedule.

Completing a block can bring back weekly hard runs when Coach had spaced them out.

03

Fatigue

How much strain is showing?

Recent heart rate, reflections, and training load help show strain.

Sustained strain can ease the next hard run or reduce how often hard runs appear.

A deliberate approach

“Good enough”
on purpose.

Coach chooses manageable training for casual runners. The plan should help you keep running next month.

Rules choose the runs, not a chatbot. Coach does what a good coach does with your data, not as a person.

Your data

On your phone.
Under your control.

Your training history is processed on your phone. Coach does not upload it to DVDA Games or an external AI service. No account, ads, or analytics.

Weather requests send a forecast location to Apple. Website hosting processes connection information to deliver these pages.

Is Coach Right for Me?

For recreational runners who want to keep running or prepare for a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or first marathon.

What Coach needs

Runs recorded to Apple Health, by your watch or phone app. Your tracking setup must save the relevant data to Health.

What makes Coach better

A GPS route for each run
Coach uses your pace to find the warm-up, the hard part, and the cool-down. Route data also helps read your threshold test.
Heart rate during runs
Coach checks the effort of each run and sets your heart-rate zones from the available readings.
Heart rate and sleep at night
Coach reads these to help show recovery and fatigue. A watch worn at night or a ring can supply them. They must reach Apple Health.

Check your own data

After you connect Health, open Settings → What Coach can see. It shows what Coach found in your last 30 days and what it does when data is missing.

If your watch loses your heart rate

Coach never fills a gap with a guess. Your pace and distance still count. Heart-rate scores use only the minutes your watch recorded. When most of a run has no heart rate, Coach does not score its heart rate.

Wear the watch snug, above your wrist bone. On cold days, keep it under your sleeve. If your watch often loses your heart rate, you can pair a heart-rate band with it. A band on your upper arm is comfortable, and in studies it read almost the same as a chest strap.
