Features

Built for the comeback, not the personal best.

A graded progression, not a generic plan

Thirteen walk/run stages take you from 8 × 1 minute run intervals to 30 continuous minutes. You start where your knee is today, not where you left off.

Logging that takes 30 seconds

After each session: effort, knee pain from 0 to 10, and a quick red-flag check. Add notes if you want. That's the whole job.

Strength woven between runs

Knee-targeted strength sessions on non-running days: hips, quads, calves, and single-leg control. The parts of you that protect the knee.

The next morning has the final say

Some discomfort during a comeback is normal. What matters is whether your knee settles overnight, so a morning check-in decides what tomorrow looks like.

How it adapts

Simple rules. Not vibes.

Every progression decision comes from fixed, transparent pain rules drawn from rehab research. AI helps personalize and explain your sessions. It never makes the safety call.

0

610
Pain 0 to 2 · Progress

Your knee tolerated the load. The plan moves forward to the next stage when you're ready.

Pain 3 to 5 · Hold

Acceptable only if your knee settles by the next morning. We check in, then decide.

Above 5 · Step back

The next session gets easier, automatically. No negotiation, no guilt.

And some signals outrank everything: sharp pain, swelling, your knee giving way, night pain, or symptoms that last past 24 hours pause the plan and point you to a professional.
