FOR ATHLETES • Today's session comes first: open the app, tap Start, then Complete to log your effort (RPE 1–10), time, results and notes. • Record rep times, sets, loads and distances next to what was planned, and attach a photo or a clip of up to 60 seconds for your coach. • Plan and log your own training. No coach needed. • Personal records with full history, and goals with a countdown to race day. • A 20-second daily readiness check-in: sleep, energy, soreness and mood. • Apple Health (optional): import a workout recorded by your watch or another app, or last night's sleep, instead of typing it in. VerPace only reads from Apple Health. • Weekly load, plan completion, streaks and acute:chronic load, each with its method shown.
