Meet your personal AI Olympic Coach, built for runners and endurance athletes who want to train smarter and race better. StrideIQ turns your training data into a coach that actually talks to you. It builds you a personalized plan, watches your progress, and speaks to you in real time while you run, calling out your pace, distance, and heart rate so you always know exactly where you stand. What Makes StrideIQ Different Live In-Ear Coaching Your coach doesn't wait until after the run. StrideIQ speaks to you as you go, on a clock, with real numbers: your current pace, distance covered, and heart rate, plus guidance to help you hold the effort your plan calls for. No looking down at your phone. Just run, and listen. Bluetooth Heart Rate Connectivity Pair your chest strap or favorite Bluetooth heart rate monitor for continuous, accurate heart rate data. Live coaching and your heart rate zones are only as good as the data behind them, so StrideIQ is built to work with the hardware you already train with. Apple Health Integration StrideIQ syncs with Apple Health to bring in your steps, heart rate, VO2 max, and workout history automatically. Your health data doesn't just sit in a chart. It powers a coach that actually knows your fitness. Smart, Adaptive Training Plans Your plan is generated around your current fitness, your goal race, and how your training is actually going, then it adjusts week to week. Long runs build progressively toward race day, with planned cutback and taper weeks built in, the same way a real coach would plan it. One-Tap Run Start See today's scheduled workout on your training calendar and start it with a single tap, straight into live coaching. A Progress Page That Means Something Every run you save shows its full route map, heart rate chart, and mile splits. A dedicated long run progress chart shows your planned versus actual distance across your whole training block, so you can see the real shape of your marathon or half marathon build. Plain-language insights tell you your plan adherence and whether your easy pace is trending faster.

The coach that tells you why. Every plan app adjusts. Treadly is the running coach that tells you why each run is there, puts every change to you before it makes it, and keeps a record of how its calls held up. The way a human coach would, on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Every run has a reason. Today's run says why it exists. Trimmed to 4.2 miles at readiness 36. Eased twenty seconds a mile for the heat. Every number that comes from the research opens to the paper behind it, and the week header shows the climb cap out loud. Readiness comes from your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate in Apple Health. Coach calls. A bad night, a heat wave, a missed run, a sore knee. The coach proposes a change and waits. Accept or undo. Hurt, sick, or life keeps your streak safe. If a change would be too small to notice, it does not ask at all. A coach on the record. Every call and your answer go on the record. "You took the ease-day call 8 times. Next runs averaged B+." Called vs ran grades the coach's own pace calls against what you ran. Your race confidence comes with a finish window that narrows as race day nears, and locks two weeks out so you cannot cram. Someone can see your run. Free. Add up to three safety contacts. When you run, they can follow a live page that opens in any browser, no app and no account. Slide for SOS on your phone, your watch, or the Lock Screen and they hear first, with your location and your local emergency number one tap away. If your phone goes silent, they get a text, and one more when you are back. On race day, make a link from your race letter and send it to anyone: they see where you are on the course and your projected finish. The run itself. Treadly records the run, on your watch or just your phone. Two real voices in your ear, never a robot. Pace and heart-rate zones on your wrist, reps counted as you run them, and auto-pause that waits for you. If you live on Strava, Garmin, or COROS, connect once and it all flows in. Plans for any race. 5K to marathon, from your pace today. Compare coaching approaches with real numbers before you commit. Strength days live on the plan too, timed from your wrist. New to running? Your first month on the ladder is free. Shoes, free forever. Every pair gets a role. Treadly spreads the miles so shoes wear out on schedule instead of by surprise, and tells you when one is done. Run with people. Send a run to a friend and it lands on both plans, your long run included. They get two weeks of Pro when they join. Pair with one partner who sees the shape of your week and hears when a run goes by. What is free, what is Pro. Shoes, readiness, the science library, and safety contacts are free. The coach's calls, the record, inviting a friend, and a partner are Pro, after a 14-day trial that starts with your first run. $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Treadly depends on your phone's signal and battery and is not a substitute for emergency services. Coaching is grounded in published training science and is not medical advice.
