Meet Coach Aiden — your AI running coach who knows your history, adapts to your life, and guarantees your outcome. Built for every runner. Ready for anything life throws at your training.
Works in your browser or on your phone — same full experience, everywhere.
Aiden's coaching voice is modeled after one of distance running's most respected minds. Not generic motivation — a specific philosophy, a studied methodology, and the kind of honest straight talk that great coaches are known for.
He delivers personalized narrative assessments that reference your actual training data — your paces, your cross-training ratio, your injury history. Over time, he watches your patterns and calls them out. Supplementing long runs with Cyclete rides? He sees it and notes it. That's not AI-generated generic advice. That's coaching.
And if you've been injured? Aiden knows. Your injury history is baked into how he builds and adjusts your plan — not something you have to remind him every session.
"I've been watching your journey since December, and here's what the data tells me: You built something real in January and February. That 21-mile week in early March, the 10-miler at 10:32 pace with a 133 bpm heart rate — that showed legitimate aerobic efficiency. You proved you can handle structured volume when you commit to it.
But then life happened. The last three weeks averaged 3.6 miles per week. Your most recent long run was 4 miles. That fitness from February? It's not gone, but it's definitely not current. Your 4:00:00 goal translates to 9:09/mile for 26.2 miles. Based on your current fitness, if you could magically run a marathon tomorrow, you'd probably finish around 4:40–4:45. That's a 40–45 minute gap to close in 21 weeks.
Here's my three-tier honest assessment: I can practically guarantee we'll get you to 4:15–4:20. That's a legitimate marathon finish with smart training. We're shooting for 4:00:00 — that's our training target, and it's achievable if you execute consistently. And if everything clicks — perfect training block, ideal race day conditions, flawless execution — sub-4:00 is within reach.
But let's be clear about what has to happen: You need to rebuild that consistency you showed in January and February."
Real output from Coach Aiden. No filter. No fluff. This is what accountability looks like.
Real post-workout coaching chat. Aiden knows your altitude, your equipment, your plan, and what just happened on the run.
From day one, Aiden sets three clear outcomes for your plan — no vague "you'll get faster" promises.
The minimum outcome you'll achieve if you follow the plan. Not a guess — a commitment.
What you're training toward. Your goal pace, your goal finish. Real numbers, specific to you.
If everything clicks. The ceiling you might actually be capable of. Aiden believes in you.
Open a chat with Coach Aiden, tell him what went sideways, and get a guilt-free plan reset. No streaks lost. No shame. Just pick up where you should — not where you left off feeling bad about it.
Unlike every other app that hands you a rest day and disappears, Run+ Plans has specialized injury support built on sports physiology principles — and Coach Aiden carries your injury history forward so you never have to start over.
Biomechanical analysis and evidence-based recovery protocols tailored to your specific injury — not a generic RICE protocol.
AI warns you if certain equipment could aggravate your injury before you start training on it.
Automatically rotates through all your available cross-training equipment to prevent compounding overuse injuries.
Evidence-based progression from cross-training back to running when you're cleared and ready.

Other apps train you for "a hilly marathon." We train you for your marathon. Upload your race's course file and Coach Aiden analyzes the specific hills you'll face — the invisible 6-mile grind, the late-race climb, the quad-destroying descent. Your workouts mirror your actual course.
"Know the course. Train the course. Conquer the course."
Your spring half marathon isn't just a race — it's preparation for your fall marathon. Set your A-race, choose tune-up races, and we build the entire season with proper periodization. Every B-race has a purpose. Every training block builds on the last. This is how coaches think.
"Most apps train you for one race. We train you for your season."
Injury recovery isn't just a protocol — it's a conversation. Soon, Coach Aiden will walk you through the injury recovery process with guided coaching chat: what you can do today, what to watch for, how to know when you're ready to return to running. Evidence-based, and specific to your injury history.
"Not a rest day and silence. A coach walking you back."
Your pace drops every time you hit hills. Your easy runs are consistently too hard. Coach Aiden watches your patterns week over week — and when he sees a recurring problem, he offers targeted workouts to fix it. Proactive coaching, not just reactive feedback.
"Your coach notices what you don't."
