Train with a science-based coach that adapts to you. Built on modern training science and decades of real-world experience, Vertical learns from your training and recovery data, understands how you respond, and adjusts your plan before problems start. We built Vertical on a foundation of 500+ peer-reviewed papers — covering periodization, recovery, injury prevention, and more — curated by coaches who've worked with athletes from first-time 5K runners to world champions. Every decision your coach makes combines modern training science with real coaching experience, applied to your level. HOW IT WORKS 1. It starts with a conversation. Connect your wearable data, then talk to your coach. Goals, schedule, injury history — the things a watch can't measure. Data plus dialogue gives your coach a complete picture of who you are. 2. It builds a plan with you. Draft a plan, talk it through, reshape it. Move your long run, ask why, skip a day. It's a conversation, not a prescription. 3. Every workout, your way. Paces, zones, structure — but flexible. Swap days, shorten a run. Your coach reshuffles everything. 4. After every run, your coach is there. Reads the data, tells you how it went, and adjusts what comes next. Mention a niggle and the next two weeks rewrite themselves. WHAT MAKES VERTICAL DIFFERENT - You never fail a Vertical plan. It just adapts. Missed a run? Changed your schedule? Your plan rewrites itself around what actually happened. - 50 metrics on your wrist, finally understood. HRV, sleep, training load, recovery — your coach reads it all and explains what matters in plain language. - The science exists. Now it's applied to you. Periodization, load management, recovery protocols — all well established, now personalised to your training. - Your watch knows your heart rate. Your coach knows you. Context, goals, how you're feeling — the things data alone can't capture. INTEGRATIONS Connect your Garmin for full workout history and health metrics.
