Flexible by design · re-plans every week

A plan that adapts to your life, not the other way around.

Life doesn't run on a schedule, so your plan shouldn't demand one. Swap the run for a swim, join the group ride instead, or miss a week when life gets busy. TERUN reads what you actually did, re-plans around it, and keeps your goal on track.

// group ride instead, a swim, a missed week — TERUN plans around what actually happened

Why it's different

Not another static PDF plan

Most running training plans are written once and never look at you again. TERUN re-plans from your current state, every week.

the fitness engine

Fitness read from your real data

It fits the relationship between your pace and heart rate on the steady parts of your runs, reads off your threshold pace, and turns it into a predicted race time. You can see exactly how it reached that number.

TERUN's fitness card: score 52, threshold pace 5:11/km and a trend line rising from July to October, measured from the steady part of each run.
the reality check

An honest goal-realism check

It projects your trajectory to race day. If you're off track it says so plainly, then proposes a target you can actually hit.

TERUN's Progress screen: a predicted half marathon of 1:47:33 against a 1:45:00 goal, 2:33 to find, and a goal-realism card offering a realistic target.

Paces that float

Every workout is paced from your current fitness. As you get faster, your targets tighten automatically, so you never re-enter a goal time.

Bends to your life

Group ride with the girls instead of the run? A swim because you feel like it? A week away when life gets busy? Do it. TERUN re-plans around what actually happened, no guilt.

TERUN's weekly schedule: runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, strength on Tuesday and cross-training on Thursday, with optional minutes per run day.

Strength & cross-training

Cycling, swimming and strength pay into one fatigue account, so hard days land only when you can recover from them.

Daily check-in

“Any pain? How do the legs feel?” Cheap signals the sensors can't see back off the plan before a niggle becomes an injury.

From your data to a plan

Three steps to a plan built on evidence instead of a template.

Connect your data

Link your account, or add runs by hand. TERUN pulls your recent activities and reads clean, steady segments from each run.

Set your goal

Pick a race distance and date, say a sub-90 half in October. It builds a periodized plan around it.

Train & adapt

Each week it re-paces from your latest fitness, reconciles what you actually ran, and adjusts for fatigue and how you feel.

One block, structured toward one date

Base → build → peak → taper, with target paces that float on your measured fitness the whole way to the start line.

What TERUN is not

It's a very good adaptive planner, not a full coach. It sees your pace, heart rate and what you log, plus what you tell it about pain and fatigue through the daily check-in. It can't see your running form, your life stress, or an illness coming on. Keep your own judgment in the loop, and see a physio if something hurts.

Common questions

Where does the training data come from?

TERUN reads your recent activities: pace, heart rate, distance and moving time. You can also enter runs manually.

How is this different from a fixed PDF plan?

A fixed plan is written once and ignores what you do. TERUN re-plans from your current fitness and recent runs, floats your paces as you improve, backs off when you're tired or sore, and re-checks whether your goal is realistic.

Which race distances does it support?

5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, with periodized base, build, peak and taper phases toward a goal date.

Is it free?

Yes. TERUN is a free running app: open it and build a training plan in a couple of minutes.

the coach tab

Ask why, not just what.

Every session in your plan can explain itself in plain language — why it's there, and how it fits the week.

TERUN's Coach tab: ask why a session is prescribed or what the week is training, with suggested questions to start from.
