Stride: Injury Recovery Coach

Stride - Return to Running, One Smart Step at a Time Coming back from a running injury is confusing. Push too hard and you risk setback. Hold back too much and you lose fitness for nothing. Stride takes the guesswork out of your comeback by combining a run/walk interval trainer, PT exercise tracking, a daily symptom journal, and an AI coach that actually looks at your data. Whether it's a knee, hip, hamstring, calf or Achilles, shin, foot or ankle, or back — surgical or not — Stride adapts to your injury. Every prompt, chart, and coaching call speaks to the area you're actually rehabbing. RUN/WALK INTERVAL TRAINER Follow a structured run/walk program built for return-to-run recovery, starting with the 8-Week Comeback plan or a custom schedule you design, set up right from the Run tab. Audio and haptic cues call out every interval switch — eyes on the road, not your phone. CONSERVATIVE UNTIL A CLINICIAN SAYS OTHERWISE Tell Stride whether you've been cleared to run. Until you have, it holds your plan back and won't recommend progressing your load — because "the app said I was ready" isn't a conversation you want with your surgeon. Your journal and exercises are unaffected. AUTO-IMPORT FROM APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health (Garmin works too, via Apple Health) to automatically import your runs, walks, and hikes — no manual logging. Stride finds gaps in your sync and offers to fill them in. PT EXERCISE TRACKING Log the strength and mobility exercises your PT actually prescribed, grouped into workouts with weekly targets. See at a glance whether you're keeping up, and your compliance feeds straight into your AI coaching and PT reports. DAILY SYMPTOM JOURNAL Log a quick check-in each morning, after runs, and in the evening. Rate your pain, tag symptoms like swelling or stiffness, and note which areas are involved. It takes fifteen seconds and builds a real record of how your body responds to training — not just how you remember it. AI-POWERED WEEKLY COACH Once a week, Stride correlates your symptom journal, PT exercise compliance, and training load and gives you a clear call: PROGRESS, REPEAT, or PULL BACK — plus the reasoning behind it and any red flags worth mentioning to your PT. No more guessing whether that twinge means "keep going" or "back off." BUILT FOR YOUR PT, NOT INSTEAD OF THEM Generate a PT-ready report summarizing your check-ins, training load, exercise compliance, and trends over any date range — hand it to your physical therapist or surgeon so your next appointment starts with data, not "it's been fine, mostly." YOUR DATA, BACKED UP Export a full backup anytime and restore it whenever you need to — switching phones, reinstalling, or just knowing your recovery history isn't one lost device away from gone. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Stride is local-first. Your symptom scores, notes, and training history live on your device. The only things that leave your phone are the anonymized data behind your weekly AI recommendation or PT report, and a backup file you choose to export. WHY STRIDE - Purpose-built for the return-to-running phase, whatever you're rehabbing - Turns vague soreness into a trackable trend - Removes the anxiety of "am I doing too much?" - Works with your PT's plan, doesn't replace it - Your recovery data stays yours, never uploaded to a Stride server Stride is a training and tracking tool, not a medical device. Always follow your clinician's guidance. Stride Pro is an auto-renewing subscription available in Monthly ($4.99/month) and Yearly ($39.99/year) options.
