Questions
Will strength training make me slower or heavier?
Low-rep, low-fatigue strength work is chosen specifically so it doesn’t. It’s placed away from your key runs and kept to one to three short sessions a week.
Does it write my running plan?
No — it plans strength around the running you already do. Tell it your runs and race and it fits strength in.
Will it prevent injuries?
No programme can promise that, and we don’t. Strength training is widely used by runners to build robustness; for pain or injury, see a physiotherapist.
Do I need an account before seeing my plan?
No. Answer the questions, see your actual generated plan, then choose Starter or membership to save it and start training.
How does it know what weight I should lift?
From your own logged sets, not from a model guessing. It uses double progression: you work up within your rep range at a fixed weight, and once every working set reaches the top of that range, the weight goes up by the right step for that lift. If a lift has not moved for three sessions it says so and suggests backing off.
What do I get for €9.99?
Starter is a one-off €9.99 with no subscription: your 4-week plan and nutrition targets, guided workout mode with last session’s numbers filled in, the rest timer, automatic personal records and your full logbook. Premium works out what to lift next and why, charts trends, adapts your plan from your log, and adds the AI coach.
Is this medical advice?
No. Plans and targets are general fitness guidance. If you have a medical condition, an injury, are pregnant, or have a history of disordered eating, talk to a qualified professional before starting.
