Trackside Training is an AI running coach for the watch you already own. Ask it about your own training, free. When you want a plan, Premium builds one around your race date and your recent running, rebuilds it every two weeks from what you actually ran, and changes it when you tell it what changed. Free to start. ASK YOUR COACH, FREE • A coach that reads your synced training: weekly volume, quality sessions, personal records, any run's laps and heart rate • "What's my marathon equivalent of a 22:30 5K?" • "How much should I slow down at 75°F with a 65° dew point?" • "How did my last four weeks compare?" • Race equivalents, heat, dew-point and elevation adjustments, fueling rate and pace math • Charts drawn right in the chat A PLAN THAT KEEPS UP (PREMIUM) • Race plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and ultra • Your plan arrives as a draft: review it, ask for changes, then accept • Tell your coach what changed: move a session, shorten intervals, set this week's mileage, add an easy run, take a day off • Your plan is rebuilt every two weeks from what you actually ran • Pick your rest days, long-run day and workout days WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR • Automatic sync from Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Wahoo and Apple Health • Apple Health brings in up to 180 days of past runs.
