We are not the first running app. We aim to be the first that treats the athlete's ownership as a product decision, the coaching relationship as a chapter-based contract, and the data as something that leaves with you.

What we promise (see the landing commitments list).
Plan shows min-max pace (ugly - see tmp/nolio.png). We replace with ± target. Coach workflow is strong; athlete UI and data export are weak.
Per-interval analysis exists but isn't opinionated. Export works but the ecosystem is a closed garden. Most expensive in the space.
Network effects, great social. Coaching is thin. Free tier gutted repeatedly. Price hikes are a running complaint.
Free with the hardware. Plan-builder clumsy. No coaching chapters. Connect+ launched 2025 for AI features - lukewarm reception. Full-resolution data lives here natively - we sync from it.
Strong coach tooling, US-leaning. UX shows its age. Closest to our coach-charged pattern.
Open, self-hostable, analytical. Cheapest commercial option. Not coaching-first. Different audience we can complement.
Donation-supported (we borrow that instinct). Strong analytics, single-person tool. Proves donation model can work for running/cycling.
The coach joins for a window of time. You keep the data. They keep read-only of their chapter. Nobody starts from scratch next season.
We don't just show splits. We tell you rep-by-rep: on target, too fast, HR drifted. That insight is the product.
One account that moves. We're the first training app that treats this as a promise, not a theoretical feature.
