Everything a running coach does.
Powered by AI.
Not a training plan generator. An actual coach that adapts to your fitness, listens to your body, and evolves with every run.
Your plan, built for you
Every training plan is generated from scratch using your race goal, current fitness, and training history. Vici uses the VDOT methodology from Jack Daniels' Running Formula to set pace zones that match your actual ability.
-
VDOT-calibrated pace zones
Your easy, tempo, interval, and repetition paces are calculated from your race history and fitness level.
-
6-step plan creation wizard
Set your race, distance, goal time, training days, and preferences. See a preview before committing.
-
Goal time suggestions
Not sure what to aim for? Vici suggests realistic race goals based on your current VDOT and training capacity.
Jack Daniels' VDOT
The same methodology used by elite coaches worldwide. Your plan isn't guesswork, it's calibrated to your physiology.
Structured progression
Base building, strength phases, sharpening, and taper. Each phase targets specific physiological adaptations at the right time.
Coaching that adapts in real time
Your plan changes with you. Every qualifying run recalibrates your VDOT, every workout completion informs what comes next, and wellness check-ins adjust training load before problems become injuries.
-
Automatic VDOT recalibration
Run faster than expected? Your pace zones update automatically. Every qualifying effort makes your plan more accurate.
-
Coach Review: approve or deny
When Vici suggests plan adjustments, you decide. Review the reasoning and approve changes before they take effect.
-
Wellness-aware training
Quick check-ins on sleep, stress, and energy help Vici adjust today's session. Real coaching considers the whole athlete.
Three systems, one goal
VDOT recalibration for pace accuracy. AI adjustments for plan structure. Wellness signals for daily readiness. They work together so your training stays optimal.
Modify any workout
Add, swap, skip, or move workouts with AI-powered suggestions. Coaching that collaborates with you, not dictates to you.
Ask your coach anything
Vici isn't a chatbot with canned answers. It's a conversational AI coach that knows your plan, your history, and your goals. Ask it anything, from race strategy to injury prevention.
-
Daily coaching briefing
Every morning, Vici prepares a personalized briefing card: what's on your schedule, how your body's responding, and what to focus on.
-
Post-run AI analysis
Journal how your run felt and Vici responds with coaching insight, connecting your subjective experience with the objective data.
-
Weekly coaching reports
A weekly summary of your training: what went well, what needs attention, and the focus for the week ahead.
Your coach knows your story
Ask Vici about your training and it responds with full context: your plan phase, recent performance, upcoming races, and training load history.
Coaching when you need it
Pre-run questions, mid-week adjustments, race-day nerves. Your coach is ready whenever you are.
Every run, deeply analyzed
Connect Strava once and every run syncs automatically. Vici doesn't just log your miles. It breaks down every split, every heart rate zone, and matches your effort to the workout that was planned.
-
Automatic Strava sync
Real-time webhook integration. Finish a run, and it appears in Vici within seconds, fully analyzed.
-
GPS splits, HR zones, pace zones
Interactive maps, per-kilometer breakdowns, heart rate distribution, and time in each training zone.
-
AI workout-to-activity matching
Vici automatically figures out which planned workout your run corresponds to and evaluates how well you executed it.
10-section activity detail
Summary, splits, pace analysis, heart rate, training zones, elevation, effort score, weather context, coach notes, and your personal journal entry.
Automatic PB detection
Vici tracks your personal bests across all distances and notifies you when you set a new one, with celebration animations and XP rewards.
Training science, made simple
Vici calculates the same metrics elite coaches track, then translates them into plain English. You don't need a sports science degree to understand your training load.
-
Classification-first UX
Instead of raw numbers, see "You're fresh and ready" or "High fatigue, consider recovery." The data drives the insight, not the other way around.
-
Training stress balance
Track your readiness in real time. See whether you're building fitness, recovering well, or pushing too hard.
-
VDOT fitness tracking
Watch your fitness level change over weeks and months. See how your estimated race times improve as your training progresses.
Three core indicators
Training Stress Balance for recovery readiness. Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio for injury risk. Chronic Training Load for overall fitness trend.
Predicted race times
See estimated finish times for every standard distance based on your current fitness, updated as you train.
