The principles most runners get wrong. Built into a plan that takes the guesswork out.
Daily sessions, ready when you wake up.
Today's run, the warmup, the cool down, sorted. No flipping through pages.
Coach notes on every session.
Why you're doing this run, what it should feel like, what to do if it doesn't.
Every run logged automatically.
Distance, time, heart rate, zones. See if your easy runs are actually easy.
Check-ins when you skip.
Miss a session? You'll hear from me. No guilt, just a coaching reset.
Open it up and the day's run is right there. Warmup, intervals, cool down. With coach notes telling you why this session matters and what you should feel.
Miss a scheduled run and you'll get a check-in, no shame, just a coaching reset. Take the rest day, mark the missed session, or pick up tomorrow. The plan absorbs it. This is what stops good plans turning into 4 days of effort and a quiet retreat.
Distance, time, heart rate. Sparkies calculates your zones and tells you whether your easy run was actually easy, or whether you accidentally turned it into a tempo. Most runners are running their easy runs too hard. This is the safety net.
Recent run from Treasa, one of the Sparkies runners. 5.72km at her target heart rate. Coach comment generated from her actual zone data.
Real feedback on every run. Automatic. In seconds. This is the difference between training and just running.
You suspect your easy runs aren't actually easy. (They probably aren't.)
You're returning from injury and need to rebuild without going too hard, too fast.
You're new to running and want a plan that builds you properly from the ground up.
You're a hybrid athlete who wants running to support strength work, not compete with it.
Sydney-based. ISSA-certified running coach. ASICS partner. Apple partner. Host of the TrainHybrd podcast. I built this app because I got tired of watching runners get the principles right and the execution wrong. The Base is where every runner should start. So I made it free.
