## What is Stride?

Stride is your personal AI running coach. Whether you're training for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PR, or just building a consistent running habit, Stride builds a periodized training plan around YOU, your goal, your schedule, your current fitness, and coaches you through every run.

Built by runners. Designed for the iPhone you already carry on every run.


HOW IT WORKS

1. Tell us your goal. 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, ultra, or returning from a break.

2. Coach Ben builds your plan. A real periodized plan: base, build, peak, taper, with progressive overload, recovery weeks, and pace targets calculated from your recent times. No generic templates.

3. Run it. Live GPS tracking, real-time pace and distance, audio coaching cues at every mile, and automatic Apple Health sync. Open the app right after a run and we already know what you did.

4. Track everything. Auto-detected PRs at 1K, 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half, and marathon. Weekly mileage trends, day streaks, all-time totals.
