Runner mid-stride

The coach in your pocket

The plan adapts to you,
not the other way around.

Polemarch reads your Garmin data, builds your training plan, and checks in every morning to decide whether to stick or swap — based on what your body is telling you.

Adapt

Daily check-ins that actually adapt.

Every morning we read your last runs, sleep, training-load, and what you've told the coach. If something changed, we propose a swap — with the reason — and you accept or stick. One tap.

Today · 7:15 AM check-in
Today's check-in

I'd swap to: Easy 45 min + mobility

Why: PTT note from Wednesday (sev 4) + slower easy pace yesterday + 3 hrs sleep deficit. Tempo today risks a flare; easy holds the aerobic stimulus.

Originally: Tempo 10kmReplacement: Easy 8km

Grounded in what works

The same playbook the coaches use, made for you.

We don't invent training science. We codify the four most respected systems and apply them to your race, your weekly volume, your goal time. From your first half to a hundred-mile mountain.

Pete Pfitzinger

Endurance + LT periodization, mid-week medium-long runs, marathon-pace finishes.

Jack Daniels

VDOT-based pacing — easy, marathon, threshold, interval — calibrated to your goal.

Hansons Method

Cumulative-fatigue principle, capped 16-mile long run, three weekly key sessions.

Jason Koop

Polarized 80/20, race-specific peaks, back-to-back long weekends for ultras.

Chat

A coach that's read every one of your runs.

Pacing, fueling, recovery, soreness — answers grounded in your data, not generic advice. Telegram or web; same coach, same context, on whichever surface you reach for.

My right calf is tight from yesterday's tempo. Should I skip Saturday's long?
Don't skip — modify. Start at 6:35/km (slower than usual easy), and if the calf is still talking to you at 5km, cut to 16km not 22km.
Strides are off the table until that calf is silent. I'll flag this so the check-in adjusts Tuesday's intervals.
Got it. Pace target?
6:35–6:50/km. Conversational. If HR drifts above 145 you're going too hard.

Profile

A physiology map, not a metric dump.

Cadence, stride, ground contact, vertical ratio, VO2 — your evolving runner profile, week over week. Not a single number; a shape that gets clearer the more you train.
