What a real coach does

And what Vici does for you, every day.

Coaches the runner you are today

Not the runner you were last year, or the one you hope to be. Vici builds your plan around your current fitness, experience, and goals—then evolves it as you do.

Asks how yesterday went

A plan can't tell if you're exhausted, sore, or feeling unstoppable. Vici checks in, listens, and adjusts today's workout based on reality—not just what's written on the schedule.

Understands the whole picture

Over time, Vici learns how your body responds—to hard weeks, to recovery, to race efforts. It's coaching that gets smarter the longer you train together.

Elite guidance, finally affordable

Hiring a coach costs $150-300/month. That puts real guidance out of reach for most runners. Vici gives you the same personalized attention and adaptability—for free.

Coaching that knows why

Every workout comes with the science behind it, so you understand exactly how you're improving.

More than just a schedule

Vici doesn't just tell you what to do - it explains why each workout matters and how to execute it perfectly.

  • Physiological purpose explained for every session
  • Execution tips tailored to your experience level
  • Pace guidance calculated from your actual fitness
  • AI coach available 24/7 to answer your questions

No more outdated training paces

Most plans are set-and-forget. But your fitness changes week to week. Vici tracks every run and automatically recalibrates when you're ready for more.

Ask Vici anything about your training - and get real answers, not generic advice.

Vici understands your training history, your goals, and your body. Ask about pacing strategy, race-day nutrition, or why your legs feel heavy - and get answers that actually apply to you.

  • Context-aware responses based on your recent training
  • Explains the reasoning behind every recommendation
  • Adapts advice to your experience level
  • Available 24/7, whenever you need guidance
Ask Vici
My legs feel heavy today. Should I still do the tempo run?
Looking at your training load, you've had 3 quality sessions in the last 5 days - that's solid work. I'd swap today's tempo for an easy 45-minute run. Your threshold session on Thursday will be more productive with fresher legs. Listen to that fatigue - it's real.
Will that hurt my marathon prep?
Not at all. You're 8 weeks out with a strong aerobic base. One easy day won't derail fitness, but forcing a tempo on tired legs risks a setback. I've shifted Thursday's workout to capture today's stimulus. Trust the process.

Built by Runners Chasing Big Goals

Vici was born from a friendship between two runners who rediscovered their love for the sport - and refused to settle for "good enough."

We coached each other through the process - sharing workouts, debating training theory, and showing up when it mattered most. But we hit limits. We needed coaching that truly understood our bodies - our strengths, our gaps, and how we responded to training in real time.

That need became Vici: an AI coach that learns you the way a great human coach would, but with the data and adaptability that only technology can provide.
