The gap in your dataMost recovery apps tell you to wait.
Most recovery apps tell you to wait.
We tell you what to do.
Your Apple Watch collects incredible data. But most apps just turn it into a score — and leave you wondering what to do with it.
There's almost always a productive path forward. A day when hard intervals aren't smart might be perfect for easy miles, mobility work, or technique drills.
The problem isn't that you need more rest. It's that no one tells you what to do instead.
PulseCoach does.
70%
of performance gains come from consistent training
5–10%
improvement from optimised cadence & form
Your Apple Watch already has the answers. We turn them into action.
Every morning, PulseCoach reviews your HRV, sleep, and recovery signals — then asks three quick questions. In under 30 seconds, you get a clear recommendation.
ADAPT
Train smarter today
Signals are mixed. We'll dial the intensity or shift the focus so you still progress — without the injury risk.
RECOVER
Active recovery
Today's for mobility, strength, or easy aerobic work. Still productive. Still moving forward.
AI that finds a path forward
A coach that finds a path forward — even on your worst days.
Runners are good at pushing through. Too good. PulseCoach tracks cumulative load, sleep trends, and recovery patterns — and sees fatigue building before you feel it.
Should I train today?
A clear answer grounded in recent load and recovery — not just a number.
Am I drifting toward injury?
Spot fatigue patterns and form breakdown before they become problems.
What's my smart alternative?
Hard intervals off the table? Easy miles, mobility, or technique focus — specific guidance, never a shrug.
Running biomechanics
Your watch already knows how you run.
Using motion data from Apple Watch, PulseCoach analyses cadence, ground contact time, stride length, and vertical oscillation. After each run, you'll see what's working — and what's drifting.
We don't just show metrics. We explain when changes matter — and flag fatigue-related form breakdown before it becomes an injury.

Training load · ACWR
We track your 7-day training load against your 28-day baseline (ACWR) to keep you in the sweet spot — building fitness without tipping into burnout or injury.

Runners who stopped waiting and started progressing.
“Since testing PulseCoach alongside my training plan, I've finally stopped guessing when to back off. It flagged that my recovery HRV was dropping even when my legs felt fine — and probably saved me from another taper-week injury.”
“I treat PulseCoach like an early-warning system. During testing, it picked up subtle fatigue patterns from my cadence and ground contact time that I'd never have noticed. I'm finishing long sessions feeling fresher — ready for race day.”
“The AI summary has been a game-changer. It noticed my training load was climbing too steeply alongside my arthritis condition. I modified one of my long runs based on its advice, and it's helped me stay consistent without overdoing it.”
Not another readiness score. A runner's decision coach.
Most Apple Watch apps summarise recovery well — but runners still get stuck on "what should I do today?" PulseCoach is built to answer that.

Questions runners ask before they start.
No. PulseCoach works alongside any plan — Runna, Garmin Coach, or a coach-written program. It tells you when to follow the plan and when your body needs something different.
No. Recover means active recovery — easy aerobic work, mobility, strength, or technique. You’re still progressing, just without unnecessary stress.
Those apps are great at showing readiness and recovery trends. PulseCoach goes one step further: it tells you what to do today as a runner — Train, Adapt, or Recover — with specific guidance and smart alternatives on tougher days.
Your 7-day free trial starts on first launch. After that, continue with Premium (£4.99/month or £39.99/year) — or keep using the free tier with daily readiness scores, vitals dashboard, and workout adaptations.
HRV, resting heart rate, sleep analysis, VO2 max, workouts, steps, and active calories — all from Apple Health. Combined with your daily check-in for a complete picture.
PulseCoach works best with an Apple Watch, or any device that writes health data to Apple Health. Without health data, some features will show limited information.
TRAIN: your body is ready — push your session. ADAPT: conditions are mixed, we suggest modified workouts. RECOVER: prioritise active recovery to lock in gains.
Yes. Health data stays on your device. AI features send minimal context to generate insights, but nothing is stored externally. We never sell or share your health information.
