Should I do a tempo or long run Saturday?
Long run. Your weekly mileage is low — build the base before adding intensity.

of easy runs end up in the gray zone — too fast for recovery, too slow for adaptation.

ALERTS

Spots gray zone drift before it costs you

61% of your easy runs in zone 3? lope flags it immediately and tells you exactly what pace to hold.

Gray zone alert
61% of your easy runs this month landed in zone 3.
Slow your easy runs to 8:20/mi or slower. Your aerobic base needs zone 2 time, not gray zone stress.
COACHING

Coaching that fits your week, not a template

Pre-run guidance based on your fatigue and schedule. Post-run feedback that actually references what just happened. Weekly summaries that tell you what to change.

Good week — 38 miles, all easy runs in zone. Saturday's long run was your strongest this cycle. Next week: add one tempo session Wednesday, keep everything else easy.

This was supposed to be easy but you spent 40% in zone 3. Slow down to 8:20+ next time — your aerobic base will thank you.

Built for self-coached runners with a goal race.

You train 4–6 days a week and log everything on Strava.

You're targeting a PR — a sub-3 marathon, a 1:30 half, a fast 5K.

You read your data but wish someone else could tell you what it means.

Not a couch-to-5K app. Not a generic plan generator. A coach that meets you where you are.
