Having a personalized training plan is only part of the journey. To progress as a runner, it’s also key to know how you’re executing that plan. And that’s where running.COACH stands out , an app that not only designs personalized workouts based on your level and goal, but also offers automatic, accurate, and motivating feedback after each session.

Below, we’ll show you how this evaluation system works with real-life screenshots of the app and a detailed explanation of each feature:

running.COACH offers feedback and statistics for each planned training session, a weekly summary, and a forecast for the event you’re training for.

What are the benefits of automatic feedback?

• Instant feedback: Immediately after the session, you will receive an objective evaluation of your training.
• Targeted improvement: You will be able to detect patterns in your training discipline and refine the precision of your execution.
• Motivation and control: A high completion rate confirms you’re on track. Our goal is to show you how well you implemented your training week: not only how much you trained, but also how appropriate the intensity was. To achieve this, running.COACH analyzes your week in several aspects: how many workouts you completed, how much time you were active, and how the intensity of your sessions was distributed across the different training zones. All of these factors are used to calculate a score between 0 and 100%, which shows you at a glance how well you adhered to the guidelines and motivates you to further refine your training.
• running.COACH also offers performance tracking over time (not just compliance).
• It allows the runner to see their objective improvement trend, ideal for evaluating whether the plan is bearing fruit.

Structured training requires more than a simple plan. It’s based on the connection between what you train and what you can achieve from it. This is precisely where weekly feedback comes in. It’s our coaches’ perspective on your training week and shows you whether you’re on track, what worked well, and where you can still improve. This regular feedback helps you better organize your training and develop it further. Our coaches think of you and support you to maintain a balanced training experience.

1.- Daily view: description of each training session and weekly summary

In this calendar-like view, each day displays an icon representing the training execution: completed (check), incomplete (X), or partially completed. A session score (82/100) is also assigned, and individual feedback can be accessed. Below, the progress of the plan toward the Jungfrau Marathon is again visible, highlighting the relationship between weekly completion and long-term progress.

Plan screen with daily score and map

New Feature:

• An integrated view of the day appears with icons for each session, overall score (82/100) and access to feedback .
• You can see that each type of training has a different color and icon (white shoe, orange shoe, etc.).
• A day marked “HOLIDAYS” also appears , confirming that the plan includes structured rest days if they were entered by the rider.

Added value:

• Excellent visualization of weekly compliance.
• Clarity for the user about which days are key and which are not trainable.

Individual assessment with rhythm curve and altimetry details

• In-depth metrics are displayed: planned vs. actual distance, duration, pace, cumulative ascent and descent.
• The graph below allows you to analyze the variability of pace in different sections of the training.

Added value:

• Ideal for runners who do structured workouts with varying levels of elevation or intensity.
• Feedback is not just textual or numerical, it is also visual and technical .

2.- Post-training session feedback

Here’s a breakdown of an interval session: running.COACH compares the actual workout with the planned workout (8 repetitions), including GPS mapping, elevation, pace, and duration. The system automatically assigns a score (92/100) along with a personalized message. This evaluation is especially useful for demanding sessions like intervals, where maintaining adequate intensity and pace is important.

After each planned workout, running.COACH calculates a  Completion Index . This value, expressed as a percentage, indicates how closely you followed the instructions during each session. The analysis is based on your adherence to:

• Distance
• Duration
• Passed
• Heart rate
• Load

Only workouts planned by running.COACH receive a rating.  This way, your focus remains on structured sessions that specifically improve your performance. Free or spontaneous runs do not influence the evaluation (of course, unplanned sessions are considered in the fitness development analysis).

How does it work?

Once your workout is complete and  your GPS data is uploaded , running.COACH analyzes your session. This analysis is especially useful for  interval training and medium-paced runs : in these cases, the highest load sections are identified and evaluated separately. This will give you a detailed picture of how closely you have adhered to the load recommendations.

3.- Weekly feedback with Completion Index and training load analysis

The goal here is to show you how well you implemented your training week: not only how much you trained, but also how appropriate the intensity was. To achieve this, running.COACH analyzes your week in several ways:

how many workouts you completed,

• How long were you active?
• How the intensity of your sessions was distributed across different training zones.
• All of these factors are used to calculate a score between 0 and 100%, which shows you at a glance how well you adhered to the guidelines.

This weekly running.COACH summary shows the Completion Index , a key indicator that evaluates how well planned workouts were executed. In this case, the user achieved 76% completion, indicating a solid performance, albeit with room for improvement. It also includes a personalized motivational feedback message and a graph showing the progress of the training load toward the goal (the Jungfrau Marathon).

What exactly do you see?

You can find your weekly feedback directly above your completed training week in the feed: clearly structured and easy to understand.

First, you’ll receive a short personalized text message. This summary of your week offers an honest assessment: What went well? Where did you stick to your plan? And what areas can you still improve?

Just below, you will see your training zones and an analysis of the load, duration, distance and

Below your score, you’ll find a summary of your training zones. Here you can see how much time you spent in the different intensity ranges, a valuable indicator of whether you paced your sessions correctly. This is especially useful for managing your training load.

Finally, the overview shows how well your week fits your plan in four key areas: load, duration, distance, and altitude-corrected distance. This lets you instantly see if you’ve been doing too much, too little, or just what you needed.

3.- General dashboard with next session, weekly summary and competition time prediction

The dashboard’s main screen provides an overview of the training plan: it shows the next session (in this case, intervals), the weekly activity summary, and the current goal (in this example, the Vienna Marathon). The highlight is the estimated time prediction (3:43:12) for that race, which is automatically updated based on recent performance. This motivates the runner and allows them to see their progress toward their actual goal.

Time Competition Performance Improvement Notification

After uploading a well-executed session, running.COACH automatically updates the race prediction and notifies the user. In this case, the estimated marathon time dropped to 3:21:15, representing an improvement of -3:15. This feature provides immediate positive feedback and reinforces the impact of good training on the final result.

Detail of interval session with score evaluation

Here’s a breakdown of an interval session: running.COACH compares the actual workout with the planned workout (8 repetitions), including GPS mapping, elevation, pace, and duration. The system automatically assigns a score (92/100) along with a personalized message. This evaluation is especially useful for demanding sessions like intervals, where maintaining adequate intensity and pace is important.
