Features

A plan for every sport you train.

Stryde generates a full periodised block per discipline and assembles them into one week. The whole thing runs on your phone — no server round trip, no account, and it works with the aeroplane mode on.

Generated on the device

The planning engine ships inside the app. When you finish onboarding it builds your plan locally, in seconds, from your baselines and your calendar.

That is why there is no sign-up wall. Nothing about generating, following or logging a plan needs an account or a connection.

  • Twenty-eight paradigmsEach sport carries several plan archetypes — a first-timer block, a race-prep block, a comeback block — and the engine routes you to one, with a plain-English reason for the choice.
  • Phase structureBase, build, peak, taper, race week and deload, with volume ramping under a weekly cap and deloads that never sit back to back.
  • Honest goal assessmentYour target time is graded achievable, stretch or unrealistic against your current fitness and the weeks available — with a realistic alternative when it does not add up.

Built around a race

Search for your event and the plan peaks on the date. You can add up to two tune-up races inside a marathon or half block, validated against how close they sit to your A race.

Change the goal, your level, your training days or your start date later and Stryde rebuilds the weeks ahead while leaving what you have already done alone.

  • A race databaseOver a thousand events, plus recurring weekly races, searchable in the app.
  • Plan lifecyclePause, resume with the dates shifted, skip a week, finish early, archive, delete or regenerate — and keep more than one plan on the go.

Choosing which sport trains on which day

You assign the days. Tap a day, add a sport, and the footer keeps a running count per discipline as you go. Stryde tells you when a sport needs more days than you have given it, and blocks the step rather than quietly generating something worse.

Within the days you have chosen, the engine decides the ordering — which session is hard, which is easy, and where the long run sits.

  • Leg day and the long runLeg-heavy strength templates are placed at the greatest distance from your long-run day, measured around the week rather than along it.
  • Hard-day spacingWithin each sport, hard sessions are kept apart — including across the Sunday-to-Monday boundary, so a week does not start already dug in.
  • Strength through a taperAs the race approaches your lifting drops to one or two sessions at 40–60% of the sets, and race week has none at all.

Changing your mind mid-plan

Add a sport or drop one without starting again. A review screen tells you exactly what will happen before anything changes: which weeks are affected, whether your long run has to move, and whether your other sports keep their sessions or get re-optimised around the new mix.

Changes apply from the current week forward. Everything you have already completed stays in your history.
