Workout Briefings give you a personalized pre-run briefing tailored to you and your plan. They’re designed to help you get more from every session by explaining the goal of your workout and making sure you’re prepared for things like weather or terrain, so you can manage your effort effectively. We’ll also analyse your performance from previous sessions to give you personalized focus areas. Think of your Workout Briefing as a little advice from your coach before you begin.

Workout Briefings are automatically generated and become available from the day before your scheduled workout. To view your briefing, simply tap into the workout in your plan.

If you reschedule your workout after the briefing has been generated, the Workout Briefing will automatically update. This may take a few seconds, but it ensures your briefing stays personalized to your new schedule.

If you check your workout ahead of time, you’ll see a ‘check back before your workout’ message, or a countdown if it is within 24 hours.

Your workout experience has two sections: the Coach’s Comment and the Workout Briefing. Each supports your session in a different way.

The Coach’s Comment is written by our human coaches and is attached to the workout. It explains the session structure, shares practical tips on what to prioritise, includes the occasional coach anecdote, and offers a motivational message to help you approach the run with confidence.

The Workout Briefing is dynamic and gives you context for today, based on your training and conditions. It includes:

If you’re unable to complete your workout exactly as suggested in the briefing, don’t worry - it won’t negatively impact your plan or training. Workout Briefings are designed to guide and support you, but your training plan will continue to adapt and progress as intended.

Workout Briefings add extra context and coaching insight to each run, helping you to understand the purpose of your workout so you can approach it with clarity and confidence on the day.

By combining plan context, recent workouts and your real-time conditions, Workout Briefings support smarter effort management and more effective, enjoyable training.
