About Trackside Training
Trackside Training is an AI running coach for the watch you already own. Ask it about your own training, free. When you want a plan, Premium builds one around your race date and your recent running, rebuilds it every two weeks from what you actually ran, and changes it when you tell it what changed. Free to start. ASK YOUR COACH, FREE • A coach that reads your synced training: weekly volume, quality sessions, personal records, any run's laps and heart rate • "What's my marathon equivalent of a 22:30 5K?" • "How much should I slow down at 75°F with a 65° dew point?" • "How did my last four weeks compare?" • Race equivalents, heat, dew-point and elevation adjustments, fueling rate and pace math • Charts drawn right in the chat A PLAN THAT KEEPS UP (PREMIUM) • Race plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and ultra • Your plan arrives as a draft: review it, ask for changes, then accept • Tell your coach what changed: move a session, shorten intervals, set this week's mileage, add an easy run, take a day off • Your plan is rebuilt every two weeks from what you actually ran • Pick your rest days, long-run day and workout days WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR • Automatic sync from Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Wahoo and Apple Health • Apple Health brings in up to 180 days of past runs. Garmin, Polar, Suunto and Wahoo runs appear from your next sync after you connect • Send structured workouts to Garmin, Suunto, Wahoo and the Apple Watch Workout app (iOS 17+), free • Trackside on Apple Watch: run your Premium plan's structured session step by step, with auto-laps and optional spoken splits • Upload .fit, .tcx or .zip files KNOW YOUR TRAINING • 12-week trends and acute:chronic training load • Splits, laps, routes, elevation and running dynamics for every synced run that includes them • Every synced run is analyzed automatically HONEST BY DESIGN We don't sell your data. Coaching replies and plans are generated by third-party AI providers using your training data, your profile details (including your name and email address) and your messages, and the app asks before the coach uses them. Sign in with Face ID or Touch ID. We encrypt your data in transit and at rest. MEMBERSHIP Trackside is free to start.

What’s new
Version 1.0.16 · Updated October 27, 2026
Apple Watch: outdoor runs now measure distance from GPS positions, so pace and lap distance follow a change of pace sooner and hold up through strides, stops and tracks. The run starts the moment you press Start, or the lap button on Get ready, and the countdown is gone. Cadence shows "--" when you stop. A lap press shows a banner with the new lap's time and pace, and on a planned run an auto-lap inside a step marks a split instead of starting a new lap. The run screen stays up when the watch dims, run screens page up and down with the Digital Crown, and a planned double shows "1 of 2". On your phone: Insights adds Race Predictions and Paces tabs and a Mileage card. Run pages show Workout, Splits and Recorded laps and name the device that recorded the run. The calendar's weekly Planned total now includes workouts planned by segment, pull to refresh works anywhere on the calendar, and after a push the result shows on the calendar, including when it fails. Before your first Garmin push, Trackside shows what is sent and asks you to agree. Passkeys offer every sign-in option, sessions removed from your plan are cleared from Apple's Workout app, and the Terms of Service add a paragraph on connected services.
