## What is CoachCian?

CoachCian is your personal running coach for 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon training. Build an adaptive running plan, follow target paces on iPhone or Apple Watch, and discover new routes. No account or login needed to get started.

A RUNNING PLAN THAT FITS YOU
Choose a race goal, build consistency with Couch to 5K, or ease back into running. Your plan brings easy runs, intervals, tempo sessions, long runs and recovery together with clear target paces. Training adapts to your recent running, with recovery weeks and race tapers built in.

LIVE PACE AND WORKOUT COACHING
Get pace cues, heart-rate zones, live splits and optional voice guidance as you run. Use iPhone or Apple Watch for your sessions, then review your run summary. Save workouts to Apple Health and your Activity rings.

GPS ROUTES AND EXPLORATION
Find routes for the distance you want to run, follow turn-by-turn directions or import a GPX route. Discover streets you have not run before and track your exploration progress.

SEE YOUR TRAINING PROGRESS
Keep your running history in one place, track personal bests and explore race predictions. Bring cross-training into your training picture and connect Strava for optional run uploads.

FUEL YOUR RUNNING
Plan everyday fuelling, race-week carb loading and race-day nutrition. Practical meal and snack suggestions help turn your targets into food you can prepare.

RUN YOUR WAY
Use optional safety sharing, connect with friends through iCloud, and celebrate milestones as you build consistency. Your core plan works without an account, with optional connections available when you want them.

FREE RUNNING, OPTIONAL PRO
Record runs and view your running history for free. Preview a personalised plan before subscribing. CoachCian Pro unlocks new training plans, adaptive coaching, training-load analysis, advanced pace trends and fuelling guidance. Saved plans and run history remain accessible if Pro ends.

Pro is available monthly or yearly, with a 14-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before renewal. Your local price and trial terms are shown before you confirm. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscriptions. Gift-code offers have their own terms shown at redemption.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-14

- Introducing CoachCian Pro: adaptive training plans, personalised coaching, advanced training insights and fuelling.
- Record runs and keep your history for free. Preview a personalised plan before subscribing.
- Choose monthly or yearly Pro, with a 14-day free trial for eligible subscribers. Restore purchases and redeem gift codes in Settings.
- Existing App Store users receive complimentary Pro until 1 February 2027, without automatic billing.
- Clearer plan setup, refined marathon progression and easier conversations with Coach.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-06

- Food prep now spreads your fuelling targets across practical meals and snacks, with clear portions, preparation instructions and totals.
- Race-week carb-loading menus show how much of your target they cover and flag any remaining gap.
- Race day is now paced at your predicted race pace. Some plans were coaching race day at tempo pace - existing plans are corrected automatically.
- Paris Marathon 2027 updated to its official date, Sunday 4 April. Plans on the old estimate are offered a one-tap move.
- Correcting a picked race's date no longer deselects the race.
- Pregnancy runs are coached by effort, with talk-test check-ins and a heart-rate backstop.
- Pram mode adapts to your grip and to hills.
- Friends: weekly crew goal, recent activity, cheers and weekly recaps.
- Bigger tap targets and cleaner plan card titles.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-30

- New: Pregnancy mode. If you ran before pregnancy, keep training with a plan that adapts: runs coached by feel on iPhone and Apple Watch, no "speed up" cues, a gentle heart-rate ease-off, and your fitness is not marked down for slower runs. Always follow your midwife or doctor's advice.
- Return to running after birth now follows UK postnatal guidance, with a self-check before running earlier than 12 weeks.
- Pram mode is now something you switch on in Settings > Live runs > Run behaviour, so it no longer appears before every run. It slows pace targets by a percentage (6% by default), and pram runs no longer count towards fitness estimates or PBs.
- The feature tour now covers Pregnancy mode and Pram mode.
- Reminders and your watch no longer offer sessions you have skipped.
- Sessions eased by the coach now get simple easy or walk-run steps.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-22

- Fixed race plans that could schedule race day a week early. Affected saved plans are corrected automatically while keeping your workout history.
- Training and pace adjustments are now more gradual, with better protection for recovery and taper weeks.
- Refreshed History and Fuel screens, with clearer run metric charts.
- Smarter fitness estimates that account for heart rate and cross-training.
- Clearer plan-adjustment recommendations and more reliable Apple Health permissions.
- Stability and reliability improvements.
