How RunActiv Coach works

Four steps, every single day.

  1. 01

    Your data comes in

    Every run, heart rate, sleep and how you felt. Synced from your watch or logged in seconds.

  2. 02

    AI reads the signal

    Our model tracks training load, recovery and pace trends, and flags what a human might miss: rising fatigue, a niggle forming, fitness peaking.

  3. 03

    A certified coach decides

    Every coach holds at least an ACSM certification. AI suggests; your coach reviews, adjusts and owns the plan. Science with a human in charge.

  4. 04

    You run, and it learns

    Tomorrow's plan reflects today's run. The longer you train with us, the more personal it gets.

    What every plan includes

    Built around real data.

    Your coach sees what you actually do, not just what's on paper, and adjusts the plan to keep you progressing and healthy.

    Personalised plans

    Built around your level, your goal race and the days you can actually train.

    A dedicated coach

    Regular check-ins and feedback from a coach who knows your training history.

    Live dashboard

    Your Strava and wearable data flows into one view your coach reads every morning.

    Injury prevention

    Recovery, HRV and load tracking to keep hard days hard and easy days easy.

    What the AI will notice

    Sample athlete · concept preview
    Training loadAcute : chronic 1.42

    This week's load is 42% above the 4-week average. Injury risk climbs past about 1.3. Suggestion: swap Thursday's intervals for an easy 6K.

    RecoveryHRV down 11%

    Three mornings of falling heart-rate variability with short sleep. Suggestion: keep today conversational.

    Fitness trendEasy pace 9 s/km faster

    Same heart rate, faster pace over six weeks: the aerobic base is working. Coach: ready for a tempo block.
