02 / The methodology
01
Every plan is built on how these coaches actually train athletes — periodisation, pacing discipline and proper recovery, drawn from competing and coaching at the highest levels of running and endurance sport.
02
That methodology is encoded into RunV's adaptive AI, so a coach's judgement runs automatically — every night, tailored to your goal, your level and the runner you are this week.
03
Your pace, heart rate, training load and how each run felt feed straight back in, so the plan recalibrates after every session — absorbing missed runs and rewarding strong ones.
