Pacely

Pacely positions itself as a running coach rather than a generic training plan generator. During onboarding you describe your experience level, your target event and how many days per week you can realistically train; Pacely then produces a complete plan broken into phases that map onto your available weeks. You do not need to know your VMA/VO2 max or own a heart-rate monitor to start — the coach guides you through the basics.

The core loop is the daily check-in. Each morning you spend roughly 30 seconds reporting how tired you feel, how you slept and whether anything hurts. Those signals feed back into the plan, so sessions are lightened, moved or replaced when your body says so, and the coach explicitly avoids guilt-tripping you when you miss a workout — it registers the reason and rebuilds the week around it.

The service was in private beta at the time of review and its marketing is primarily in French. On-site FAQ content confirms there is a free way to try it, with paid tiers for continued coaching; exact plan prices were not published on the page, so they are not stated here.
