## What is Stride?

Coaching a team or chasing your own PR? Stride is built for both.

Stride is the all-in-one running app built by a real runner — made to help athletes train smarter and help coaches run their entire team from one place. Whether you're leading a cross country squad, organizing a running club, or chasing a marathon PR, Stride turns scattered data and guesswork into a clear plan and real progress.

And the part coaches love: Stride is free for your whole team.

— FOR COACHES & TEAMS —

Your Team Hub — create a club, invite athletes with a code or QR, and manage everyone in one place. Free for every member.

Assign Training to the Whole Team — build a plan and push it to your full roster, or tailor workouts by group so varsity and JV each get the right work.

Practices & Meets with RSVP — schedule practices and meets and see exactly who's coming. Athletes tap "I'm Going," and you're notified the moment they reserve a spot.

Meet Results & Team Scoring — log races, score your meets, and track your whole season as a team.

Private Coach Notes — keep notes on each athlete, visible only to you.

A Coach-Aware AI — your AI assistant knows you coach. Ask for workouts, race strategy, and programming for your athletes — not generic tips.

Share & Export — turn your plan, calendar, or race log into a clean PDF to share with athletes and parents.

— WHAT EVERY RUNNER GETS —

AI Coach — personalized advice based on your goals, stats, training history, and how your body is responding. Real, adaptive guidance.

Training Plans — generate a tailored plan in seconds and always know what to run next.

Auto Sync with Apple Health & Your Watch — import runs automatically from Apple Watch, COROS, and Garmin via Apple Health. No manual entry.

Built-in GPS Tracking — record your runs with live distance, pace, and route mapping.

PR Tracker — log your personal records by event and chase new ones with purpose.

Race Log + Season Tracking — log every race, follow your season, and see how far you've come.

Mileage Dashboard — weekly mileage, activity stats, and progress all in one place.

Shoe Tracker — track mileage on every pair and know when it's time to retire them.

Feed + Messaging — see what your team and friends are running, cheer them on, and stay connected.

Running Journal — reflect on your training and track how you feel over time.

— BUILT BY A RUNNER. FOR RUNNERS AND THE COACHES WHO LEAD THEM. —

Stride exists because running is better with clarity, not guesswork — and better together. We built the app we wished we had, and we improve it every week based on real runner and coach feedback.

Run Smarter. Go Further. Together.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-05

What's New in Stride 1.0.7

 Group chats are here. Start a group right from Messages — name it, add a photo, and pull in your whole training crew. Search anyone or pick from people you follow. Add someone you're not connected with yet and it reaches them as a request they can accept. Admins can rename, change the photo, and add or remove people; anyone can leave.

 Take attendance. New coach Attendance tab: spin up a season, add practice dates, and tap each athlete Present · Late · Excused · Absent. Filter by squad, "Mark all present," and open the Overall board to see who's showing up and who's slipping — share any day or the whole season as a PDF.

 AI-written Season Awards. Tap the award icon in a Race Log season and Stride hands you MVP, Most Improved, Speed Demon and more — one set per squad, built from real race times, each winner with their photo. Share it as a certificate-style PDF.

 A cleaner, sharper Club AI. Redesigned to feel like your personal AI coach, with quick-tap prompts and a new context button so you can point it at exactly what you're asking about — attendance, readiness, race results or goals — instead of everything at once.

 Truer synced paces. Fixed a bug that made some watch-synced runs read faster than you actually ran, and cleaned up any past runs it affected.

Plus a lighter, quicker "Get started" setup and a bunch of polish throughout.
