## What is PulseCoach?

Your training plan was written before your week happened.

PulseCoach reads your body's signals through Apple Health and tells you what kind of training day it is — before you lace up.

Every morning, one clear verdict from your heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep and training load:

TRAIN — you're ready. Do the session with confidence.

ADAPT — the signals are mixed. Here are better options.

RECOVER — your body needs the day. Here's how to keep moving.

BRING YOUR PLAN WITH YOU

Import your Runna, Coopah or TrainingPeaks sessions straight from your calendar, the distance, the target paces, the session structure.

PulseCoach knows what today is supposed to be. Then it tells you whether today is the day for it.

ADAPT THE SESSION, DON'T SKIP IT

On the mornings you're not recovered, you don't get a red light and a shrug.

You get real alternatives built around the session you were meant to do,  a shorter version, a walk-run, a cross-training swap,  each one showing what it preserves from the original.

AFTER THE RUN

Your route coloured by pace, with the climbs drawn underneath it. Heart rate zones, splits, cadence and form. How today compares to the last run like it.

And the coach's read on what the session actually did for you.

TELL IT WHERE IT HURTS

Log a niggle and PulseCoach works around it, today's session and every one after,  until you say it's better.

Training guidance, never medical advice.

ASK COACH

Your on-demand AI running advisor. It has your vitals, your recent runs, your training load and your goal race, so the answers are about you,  not generic advice from the internet.

Plus weekly AI summaries of how your training is trending, and a vitals dashboard read against your own baselines rather than generic ranges.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-10-18

Housekeeping. A clearer App Store listing and a lower annual price. The app itself is unchanged since 2.1.

### 2.1 — 2026-10-08

Polish, from a month of real use.

- Coming back after time off no longer reads as overtraining. If your training load looks high because you're rebuilding from a break, PulseCoach now says so instead of telling you to back off.
- Not following a plan? You can tell the app what you're running, on any kind of day.
- One clear card for today's session, instead of three that could disagree.
- Finished your race? PulseCoach notices, and asks what's next.

### 2.0 — 2026-09-09

Your plan, adapted to the day you're actually having.

Bring your training plan in
Import your Runna, Coopah or TrainingPeaks sessions straight from your calendar. PulseCoach reads the session, the distance and the target paces, so it knows what today is meant to be.

For the days you when things don't go to plan
Instead of just telling you to back off, you now get real alternatives, a shorter version, a cross-training swap, a ten-minute test jog, each one showing what it keeps from the original session.

A rebuilt Post-Run
Your route coloured by pace, elevation beneath the pace chart, heart rate zones, and how today compares to the last run like it. Plus the coach's read on what it actually meant.

Tell it where it hurts
Log a niggle and the coach works around it, today's session and every one after, until you say it's better.

A coach that sounds like one
Rewritten from scratch. Fewer numbers recited back at you, more sense. It knows your goal race and how close it is.
