WireCoach is live coaching for running, HYROX, hybrid and strength training. The athlete trains with Apple Watch; the coach follows every beat from their phone and coaches in the moment. YOUR COACH, LIVE ON YOUR WRIST • Start a workout on Apple Watch and choose who sees it: nobody, your coaches, or everyone. • Heart rate, zone, pace, distance, energy and your GPS route stream live to your coach. • Cues land on your wrist with a tap of haptics: "Push now", "Ease off", or one your coach set to fire the moment you reach 170 bpm or 3 km. FOR COACHES • Follow one athlete or the whole squad: live numbers, a 3D route map, the workout timeline and heart-rate trends. • Send a cue now, or queue one to send when a threshold is reached. It fires even with your phone in your pocket. • Build structured workouts: warmup, work and recovery blocks, time and distance goals, heart-rate targets. • Make a workout available to one athlete, a group or everyone you coach. Share it as a link or QR code, add it to the calendar as a session, and start it for everyone with one tap. THE LIVE FEED • Watch public sessions from athletes around you, one per screen, and follow the ones you like. • Runs and rides show the route on the map; indoor sessions breathe with the athlete's heart-rate zone. FOR ATHLETES • Everything your coaches send you in one list, with a preview and a copy for Apple's Workout app. • Join a coach's session by link or QR code. When the coach starts it, your Watch starts with you. • Guided intervals with count-ins, haptic step changes and zone nudges. • Sync sessions from Apple's Workout app to your coach through Apple Health, and review every session: heart-rate trace, route, duration, distance and energy. • One account can be both coach and athlete. BUILT FOR THE WRIST, THE POCKET AND THE TABLET Big numbers, zone colours, one-hand controls and a native design on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Health and location data are read only with your permission, shared only with the coaches you choose, or with everyone when you make a session public. Never used for advertising, never sold. Report or block anyone from the feed. Delete your account, and all your data, anytime in the app. Privacy policy: https://wire.coach/privacy WireCoach requires an Apple Watch for live streaming and guided intervals. iPhone and iPad alone can build and share workouts, follow athletes live and watch the feed.
