What should I train today? Your coach decides every morning and tells you why. HOW IT WORKS 1) A few questions about your goal, your week and your experience. That builds your plan. 2) A check-in every morning: how your body feels and how much time you have. 3) Today's session, with the reason right below it. Connect Apple Health and your coach knows your past sessions. It plans the next day from what you did and how you feel today. Running and lifting are planned as one week. So you don't walk into hard intervals on tired legs the day after a heavy leg day. If something hurts, tell your coach or your check-in. Your coach plans around the spot, and you keep training without loading it. If a session doesn't fit today, tell your coach in the chat. Your coach suggests another one, and one tap applies it. On every run you know how fast to go: warm-up, blocks and cool-down, with pace and heart rate. Snap your meal instead of typing it in. Loadcast estimates calories, protein, carbs and fat. Not a rigid plan you drop after three weeks. Yours adapts to you every day. For people who've been planning their own running and lifting.
