## What is Aera?

Aera is a running coach you can actually talk to: tell it your legs are cooked, ask why a session matters, debrief your race. It answers, and it adapts the plan.

From 5K to marathon, it builds your personalized training plan, reads your runs from Strava, Garmin Connect, and Apple Health, pushes structured workouts to your Garmin or Apple Watch, and rebuilds your week when life gets in the way.

TALK TO YOUR COACH
An actual conversation. Aera reads your runs, your fatigue, your goal, and answers with an opinion and concrete advice. Not generic plans, not chatbot fluff.

A COACH WITH OPINIONS
Goals, current form, health, mood: Aera has the full picture. And like a good coach, it doesn't say yes to everything: want to run seven days a week when five is smarter? It'll push back. Still want seven? It builds the plan that makes seven sustainable. The final call is yours.

A CALENDAR THAT FLEXES
Your plan is a living calendar, not chat history. Move a session, skip a day, add a race: Aera rebuilds the rest without running you into the ground.

EVERY WORKOUT HAS A PURPOSE
Every workout comes with its why. Aerobic base, lactate threshold, recovery to absorb the load. You always know what you're building toward.

BUILT FOR YOUR WATCH
Workouts sync automatically to Garmin Connect and Apple Watch. Hit start, follow the intervals.

A REAL DEBRIEF AFTER KEY WORKOUTS
Long runs, threshold sessions, intervals: key workouts get a structured analysis. What worked, what didn't, what to focus on next. Pace, heart rate, splits: interpreted, not just displayed.

CONNECTED FROM DAY ONE
Strava, Garmin Connect, and Apple Health are synced automatically. You never have to re-explain your training.

WHO IT'S FOR
Runners training for a 5K, 10K, half, marathon, or ultra. Beginners who want to finally stay consistent. Experienced runners chasing a PR. Anyone who wants a real coach, not a static PDF plan.

Free for 14 days: enough time to build your first plan and talk to your coach before paying anything.
