Personal Coach
Plans shaped by your outings — pick a sport, choose a goal, generate.
How Coach keeps you on track
- Match — when you save an outing, Coach suggests the plan session it fits. Confirm (or reject) so progress stays accurate.
- Adapt — if you miss sessions or go well off plan, Coach can reshape the next two weeks. Auto-adapt is off until you enable it.
- Recovery — use Injury / illness week for a structured rest block with a short questionnaire.
No session scheduled for today. Start a plan or open one of your saved programmes.
