Your pursuit
Half marathon, with px.
Tell px the date and what you want from it. It builds the plan back from race day, then sets each morning to the body you woke up in.
The first conversation
px builds the plan back from it.
Race day, the time you are chasing, and the days a week you can actually run. That is the whole first conversation.
Then px connects what you already wear, learns your normal in the first week, and from then on you wake up to your Direction: one plan for the day, and the reason it changed overnight.
One coach
Move, Mind and Fuel, decided together.
Move
Sessions placed across the week and written for you, with the long run kept where it belongs. A short night eases the session and says so. A clear calendar and four good nights, and px asks for more.
Mind
Ten minutes of breathwork after a hard day, timed to your week rather than added to it. The head game of a race starts long before the start line.
Fuel
A bigger session means more fuel, built around how you already eat. Race week is planned like any other week: with the reason attached.
A morning
The day changes. The pursuit does not.
Your Direction · today
Swim instead of run today.
Thirty easy minutes, and Saturday’s long run stays where it is.
Your night, your yesterday, your calendar and what you are aiming at. px weighs the lot and comes back with one thing: what today should be, and why. Ask it anything, by text or voice, at any hour, and it changes the plan if the answer calls for it.
Behind it
How px thinks about it.
The method is written down. These are the pieces from px Insights that sit behind this pursuit.
From px Insights
Should I Train Today? How to Decide Before You Start
Not sure whether to train or rest? Here is how to read sleep, HRV and resting heart rate together and make the call in under a minute, before you get changed.
Do I Need a Rest Day? How to Tell Tired From Overtrained
Tired is a feeling. Under-recovered is a state, and your signals can tell them apart. When a rest day earns its place, and what to do with it.
Training on Empty: How to Adjust When You Have Barely Slept
Four hours of sleep and a session on the plan. Skip it, push through, or adjust? How to size the day to the night you actually had.
How to Stay Consistent With Training
Nearly half of people who intend to train do not. Why consistency fails, what the evidence says actually holds, and how to build a week that survives.

Questions
What if I miss a week?
px picks up where you actually are. The plan is rebuilt from today toward race day, not from the week you missed. Nothing to catch up on and nothing to apologise for.
Do I need a running watch?
No. Your phone is enough to start. A Garmin, COROS, Polar, Apple Watch or any of 23 apps and devices adds sleep and heart rate, which lets px read the morning more closely.
Can I ask px to change a session?
Yes, by text or voice, at any hour. Ask to swap, shorten or move a session and px changes the plan if the answer calls for it, keeping the week honest around it.
Is it one plan or three?
One. Move, Mind and Fuel are decided together every morning, so the long run changes what you eat and last night’s sleep changes today’s session.
Race day is already on the calendar.
Seven days free. Tell px the date and it starts from there.
