## What is Stride?

Stride is a running coach that lives on your iPhone. Tell it your goal race and a recent time, and it builds a training plan around you: easy runs, tempo, intervals and long runs, each with a target pace. As you train, Stride adjusts the plan to how you're actually running.

A PLAN THAT FITS
• Plans for 5K, half marathon, marathon, or simply staying fit
• Base, build, peak and taper phases, with cutback weeks built in
• Paces update as your fitness improves
• Missed a week? Stride helps you get back on track instead of piling it on
• Strength sessions with sets, reps and a rest timer

EVERY RUN, RECORDED
• GPS tracking with live pace, distance and splits, indoors or out
• Spoken splits and workout cues, so your phone can stay in your pocket
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Weather at the start of every run, and heat advice when it's hot
• Routes built for you from Apple Maps: loops or out-and-backs from your door

A COACH IN YOUR POCKET
• Ask the coach about your training and get answers grounded in your own runs
• A clear breakdown after every run: what went well and what to try next
• Daily coach tips on the Home tab
• A readiness check from your heart rate, HRV and sleep
Coaching uses Apple Intelligence, on your iPhone or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute. Without it, Stride still analyses each run on your phone.

RACE READY
• Race-day hub with countdown, pacing plan and the forecast for your start time
• Race predictions and personal bests
• Badges for streaks, big months and long runs

WORKS WITH YOUR APPLE GEAR
• Imports runs and heart rate from Apple Health, and saves your runs there
• Sends planned workouts to Apple Watch with WorkoutKit
• Stride on Apple Watch shows today's session and your week
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Siri and Shortcuts: "What's my run today in Stride?"
• Apple Music playlists shaped to each workout
• iCloud sync across your devices

YOURS, PRIVATELY
No account needed, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Export everything as spreadsheets and GPX files whenever you like.

Stride gives training guidance, not medical advice. Check with a doctor before starting a new exercise program.
