I Tried Every Running Coach: Why I Built Run Plan After Garmin Coach, Runna, ChatGPT, and more
I tried every training method and finally built the AI running coach I wish existed
I'm Romain, the founder of Run Plan. Like most runners, I've tried many ways to get a structured training plan from static PDF plans, Garmin Coach, apps like Runna, and even ChatGPT. Each one had it's flaws, but ChatGPT has been way better than I had expected.
However it was missing some key features that I needed to make it a truly effective running coach. This is my honest journey through different training approaches, the frustrations I faced, and why I eventually built Run Plan to solve the problems none of them could. If you've ever felt like your training plan doesn't quite fit your life, you'll understand exactly what I mean.

The only training app built for serious runners
Plan your entire running season, not just one race
Forget the 12-week marathon plan. Run Plan is different. Plan your entire running year: multiple 10Ks, half marathons, and marathons, all in one place, orchestrated to peak at the right moments. Stack training blocks, manage recovery, and build toward multiple goals simultaneously. This isn't a single-race plan. It's your complete season strategy.
Schedule multiple goals across months or even a full year, not just a single 12-week block.
