Nico
Founder, 1st Marathon
I used to train - a lot. Then life happened, I started a family and the training mostly stopped. But my dream of finishing a marathon stayed alive.
Now it's time. But I know myself. I tend to overtrain and do workouts that are fun rather than what actually supports marathon performance. I needed something to keep me balanced and accountable.
So I built an AI coach that actually adapts to real life. One that handles the planning so I can focus on showing up.
Now I'm proving it works by using it myself.

On October 5, 2025, I started training for my first marathon. Fully documented. Same AI coach you'll use.

Understanding how your daily and weekly training connects to the big picture is crucial for trust and motivation.

I’ve failed to get back in shape since the pandemic. So late one night, I did something drastic: I signed up for a marathon. Here’s why it might work out this time.
Questions & Answers
A static plan can't adapt when life happens. When you miss a workout, get sick, or have a busy week, a fixed plan just keeps marching forward—leaving you to guess how to catch up (which often leads to overtraining or injury). An adaptive coach recalibrates in real-time, keeping you on track without the guesswork.
Just message your coach in the chat. If you're sick, your plan immediately adjusts—reducing intensity and volume while you recover, then gradually building back up. If you feel pain or a tweak, describe it and your coach modifies workouts to protect that area while keeping you moving. No guessing, no panic.
50% of first-time marathoners get injured before race day. Most running injuries don't come from running itself—they come from weak glutes, tight hip flexors, poor mobility, and muscular imbalances. By integrating strength and mobility from day one, you build the resilience that keeps you running.
Not yet—we're iOS only for now. We're focused on making the iOS experience great first before considering other platforms.
Yes — an Apple Watch is required. Workouts run directly on your watch with real-time HR targets, running scores, and post-run feedback. HealthKit integration automatically tracks your training load and recovery, so your plan adapts without manual input. This is what makes the coaching truly intelligent.
We require a minimum of 14 weeks for experienced runners, and longer for beginners. We won't create a plan that's unrealistic or sets you up for injury. If you don't have a race yet, you can start with base building and add races when you're ready.
Absolutely. Browse our race catalog, pick half marathons, full marathons, or a mix — we'll build dedicated training plans around your entire schedule. Tapering, recovery, and base-building between events are handled automatically.
We support runners planning their first half or full marathon. If you don't have a race date yet, you can start with base building to develop your fitness, then add a race when you're ready. Plenty of time to take a complete beginner to the finish line.
Yes! I'm training for my first marathon right now using the same AI coach you'll use. I've done endurance events before (Ironman 70.3, trail runs), but never a full marathon. Building this while training for it means I'm constantly finding and fixing what doesn't work in real life.
Train Like The Pros
Chat with your coach, train on your Watch, and let automatic adaptation do the rest. Half marathon, full marathon, or both — we build around your race schedule.
