ChallengeUS: Run & Tri Coach

About this app

Big goals. Whatever it takes.

ChallengeUS is the group for people who set themselves big goals and go all out to reach them: a running or triathlon race, fitted around work and family. The coach builds your plan from your race calendar, finds a way to get there every week and tells you how close you are to your goal. Every change is a suggestion: you decide.

A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOUR RACES
• Goal race and tune-up races, the time you have each day, your typical week
• Phases, recovery weeks, taper and tests in the right place; never two hard days in a row
• Week, month and the journey to race day, with planned hours and kilometers
• A half or a marathon can become that week's long run

THE COACH SUGGESTS, YOU DECIDE
• Every evening the coach reviews your day, every Sunday your week
• After a bad night it suggests a lighter session
• Ask it to move a session by writing, dictating or sending a photo: you see the resulting week and approve with one tap
• The coach uses artificial intelligence only with your permission

CONNECTED TO YOUR GARMIN
• Activities with pace, heart rate, power, laps and route sync automatically
• Plus sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and Training Readiness
• Your next 7 days of sessions go to your watch automatically, with your paces and zones

EVERY MORNING YOU KNOW WHERE YOU STAND
• Today's session first, with the coach's advice
• Your state today, from sleep, HRV, recovery and load
• Preparation and goal, shown separately: where your preparation stands and, for running, how realistic your goal time is
• Every activity read the way a coach would read it: intervals, zones, comparison with recent weeks, place and weather
• Nutrition: carbs and protein day by day

YOU DON'T TRAIN ALONE
• In Groups there's the ChallengeUS community, and every race has its own group to prepare for it together
• Others only see the name you choose, never your email

The first 200 athletes to reach at least 4 active weeks by March 31, 2027 become pioneers: ChallengeUS free for life, AI coach included. Terms apply.
