Your goals. Your schedule. Your plan — and a certified coach one message away. Aeros gives you what athletes with a personal coach have always had: a training plan built entirely around you, for running, cycling, swimming, or triathlon — one that pays attention and adapts every single week based on what you actually did. Miss a workout? Get sick? Add a race? Your plan adjusts, just like a coach would adjust it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell Aeros your sports, experience, goal races (or general goal), weekly hours, and available days. 2. Connect Garmin or Apple Health so Aeros can read your recent training. 3. Get a periodized plan built on certified coaching methodology — base, build, peak, taper — with every workout spelled out: intervals, paces, heart-rate zones, and effort guides. A PLAN THAT ACTUALLY ADAPTS • Weekly reviews compare planned vs. completed training and rebuild your next two weeks • Reschedule, skip, or swap workouts — the plan redistributes the load • Life happens: pause training for illness, travel, or work and Aeros reshapes the plan around it • Add or change a race and the whole structure updates KNOW WHEN TO PUSH — AND WHEN TO REST Charge Score turns your sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, and training load into a simple daily readiness score. Low charge before a hard day? Aeros suggests a smarter alternative. TRAIN WITH REAL NUMBERS • Built-in fitness tests (20-min threshold run, FTP ride, swim CSS) set your personal training zones • Race predictions for 5K to marathon and beyond, updating as you get fitter • Training load (CTL/ATL/TSB), volume trends, personal bests, streaks, and 35+ achievements SYNCS WITH YOUR WATCH • Garmin: activities and recovery data sync in, structured workouts export to your watch • Apple Health: workouts, heart rate, HRV, and sleep — read and write • Completed activities auto-match to planned workouts. No manual logging. STRENGTH & MOBILITY, BUILT IN Sport-specific strength and mobility sessions — matched to your equipment, from bodyweight to full gym — are woven into your week, not bolted on. A CERTIFIED COACH, ONE MESSAGE AWAY Questions about your plan, pacing, or a niggle? Message a certified endurance coach directly in the app. FOR EVERY LEVEL — RACE OR NO RACE First 5K or fifth Ironman — plans scale from complete beginner to elite, across 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, ultra, sprint to full-distance triathlon, century rides, and open-water swims. No race on the calendar? Train to build endurance, get faster, or simply stay consistent — your plan is personalized the same way. START FREE Try Aeros free for 7 days.
