FOR RUNNERS WHO TRAINED HARD

Your unfair advantage on race day.

There's another 5–10% in every runner on race day. Not from training harder — from showing up smarter.

THE MARGIN

Every runner has another 5–10% in them on race day.

92%

of half-marathon runners go out too fast. Trained for the second half to be faster than the first — ran the opposite.

SOURCE · Hanson et al., PLOS One 2014

~30%

of a runner's race plan is what they can still recall by mile 8. The rest is locked behind fatigue.

SOURCE · Internal observation, n≈30

5–10%

the margin most runners leave on the course. From smarter pacing and course-specific cues, not harder training.

SOURCE · Run Unfairly internal estimate

The 5–10% isn't fitness. It's calm starts. Course knowledge. Form tune-ups. The fundamentals, delivered when you need them.

Hill in 200 meters. Shorten your stride. Don't chase the pace — let it come back.

Mile 8 · two-thirds done. Breath in three, out two. Make it automatic.

MILE 12FINISH

Everything you've done lives in this last mile. You've got it.

STEP 03 · BRING YOUR PEOPLE

Voice cheers, pinned to miles.

Up to 10 friends record a 60-second voice note — no app needed. Their cheer plays in your headphones, between coaching cues.

MILE 4FROM MOM

“You've trained for this. I'm so proud already.”

MILE 12FROM SARAH

“One mile to go. I'm at the finish line. Run to me.”

Cheers space out automatically — at least 60 seconds between voices, never overlapping a coaching cue.

BUILT FOR RACE DAY

Built by runners, for race day.

“I’d like to think that I have above average good posture, and the app still helped with my posture! It really helped especially how good posture helped my breathing, feet landing, and upper body tightness.”

“No one has ever explained running like this. I can’t wait to run the next session.”
