The coach that knows you and your day and does the thinking for you. It trains you for run, ride and swim challenges, and looks after your body with kettlebells and yoga. Every morning, your coach plans today. It looks at your recovery, your recent training and your goal, then builds one day that fits, ready when you open the app. Day changed? Tap once and it plans around it. Short night, late meeting, pool shut: today fits. You don't have to think about the plan. You just show up and train. Train your body as one unit. Yoga for balance and range. Kettlebells for power and structure, at home with one or two bells. Running, riding and swimming for the engine. Often two of them in one day, sized to the time you have. Take on endurance challenges. Run to another town. Swim to an island. 90+ challenges, from a 5 km run to a full-distance triathlon. Your next challenge is always lined up. You see what it takes and where you are, and it goes on your calendar once you're ready. Move it to any day after today. Choose where it starts and ends, and MONS plans the route. Got a marathon, half marathon or swimrun on the calendar? Add it, and your coach builds your training toward it. Coached on your phone and on your wrist. Every run, ride, swim, kettlebell session and yoga practice is guided step by step. Or head out and start a run, ride or swim straight from your Watch. Built for Apple Watch, and it needs one.

You are ready once you cover a quarter more than its distance in a week, in two of the last six weeks. Then it goes on your calendar. SMALL THINGS TODAY Under your sessions sits a short list of daily habits too small to be workouts: standing on one leg, a deep squat, foot exercises, legs up the wall. Tap one to see how and why. Add your own too, like an exercise your physio gave you, on the days you choose. YOUR SESSIONS ON STRAVA Connect Strava once in Settings, and every session you finish posts there on its own, with heart rate, the map and the challenge you are training for. EACH KETTLEBELL MOVE AT YOUR LEVEL Every move has an easier and a harder step. Press Too hard or Too easy and today's session changes right away. Swipe left on the Watch to see the move's steps. FINISHING A CHALLENGE FEELS LIKE IT The Watch buzzes the moment you cover the distance. Open the app afterwards and the challenge fills the screen with your distance, time and its story. Watch at home? Log the challenge from the phone. THE BOOK IN THE APP Tap the book on Today and the whole book opens where you stopped. ### 5.0 — 2026-10-20 Version 5.0 puts charts in the coach's answers, gives your day one line from the coach, lets you ride indoors, and gives every challenge a story. A COACH THAT SHOWS ITS WORK Ask the coach something and you see the answer as it is written. When the answer rests on your own numbers, a chart sits under it: your resting heart rate, HRV or sleep against your normal, with your biggest days marked. ONE LINE FROM THE COACH FOR YOUR DAY Above today's workouts the coach says, in a sentence or two, what today is and why it suits you. RIDE INDOORS Tap start on a ride and the Watch asks Outdoor or Indoor. An indoor ride records your heart rate and time without GPS, Apple Health files it as an Indoor Cycle, and it still counts toward your challenges. EVERY CHALLENGE HAS A STORY The challenges are real feats of people and animals at their real distances, plus the famous races under their own names. Each one has a photograph and a short story. ### 4.9 — 2026-10-15 Version 4.9: your training is ready when you open the app. YOUR DAY IS READY No more morning questions. Each day is sized from your challenge and built from the sports you do, often before you pick up your phone. If your day changes, tap Day changed? on Today. PAUSE A SPORT In Profile, under your endurance mix, tap Paused sports. Your days leave a paused sport out until you switch it back on, and your mix and challenges stay as they are. EVERY CHALLENGE HAS ITS OWN PAGE On the Challenges tab, tap Every challenge. Each one has a photograph, a short description and when you are likely to be ready. Story challenges like Kailash and the Hellespont open on a real photograph of the place. ALWAYS A NEXT CHALLENGE Finish one and the next is booked for you. Draw your course on the day, or just go. THRESHOLD IN BLOCKS Threshold runs and swims now come in short blocks with easy minutes between, so you spend more time at the right effort. ALSO Sprint rides no longer score 15% in zone. The Health permission screen asks for fewer types. ### 4.8 — 2026-10-12 Version 4.8 makes the morning check-in calmer and fixes a few rough edges. WRITE YOUR DAY NOTE ON ITS OWN SCREEN Tap "Anything else today?" and a full screen opens with just the box and the keyboard. Nothing jumps while you type. NO DEAD END WHEN LOOKING FOR YOUR WATCH On first launch the app waits for your Watch to connect, and a Try again button checks once more if it cannot find it. ALSO Movements without a video yet say "Demonstration coming soon" instead of showing another exercise. The challenge map uses less memory while you plan. ### 4.7 — 2026-10-10 Version 4.7 helps you run with quicker, lighter steps, and lets you tell the coach what else your day holds. QUICKER STEPS, A LITTLE AT A TIME On runs, your Watch helps you take quicker steps, up to 175 a minute. Each run's target is about 5% above your last run's average. Stay below it for two minutes and the Watch taps your wrist once. Warm-ups, cool-downs, recovery jogs and walking are never nudged. TELL THE COACH ABOUT YOUR DAY The morning check-in has a new box: Anything else today? Write "long drive tonight" and the coach plans today's training around it. PICK THE SPORTS YOU DO Endurance choices are now named by sport: Run, Run & ride, Run, swim & ride. A sport you leave out is fully off. ALSO The morning check-in fits on one screen and lists only the sports you do. A changed day shows up in the app on its own. Challenge routes come from our own map, with turn prompts that name the road. A slow save no longer says it failed. ## Apps similar to MONS Athletics | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Falcata Run - Sprint Training](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/falcata-run-sprint-training/id6759151881) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Sports | | [Astra Athletic](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/astra-athletic/id6769266808) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Sports | | [Outperform Motion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/outperform-motion/id6761783547) | 5.0 (11) | Free | Sports | | [220 Triathlon Magazine](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/220-triathlon-magazine/id486427439) | 4.6 (33) | Free | Sports | | [Urban Pickleball](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/urban-pickleball/id6739312226) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Sports | | [KCSN](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kcsn/id6443568374) | 4.8 (20) | Free | Sports | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
