Ask a running coach

Missed a week? Knees grumbling? Wondering if you're ready? Ask in your own words.

Your question

An AI answers questions about training for a first 5K, 10K or half. It's general guidance, not medical advice. Your question is sent to our AI provider and isn't stored by us.

What it's good at

  • Adapting your plan after missed runs, illness or holidays
  • Pacing and race-day strategy for a first race
  • Kit, fuelling and pre-race nerves
  • Whether a niggle sounds like normal soreness or a reason to rest

What it isn't

It's an AI, not a doctor or physiotherapist. It won't diagnose injuries. Chest pain, dizziness, or pain that makes you limp means stop running and get checked.

Questions are sent to an AI model through Vercel's AI Gateway to generate the answer. We don't store them. See privacy.
