Five session types. Each with a purpose.

Easy Run

Build aerobic base without fatigue. The backbone of every plan.

Tempo Run

Sustained effort at threshold pace. Builds the ability to hold speed over distance.

Intervals

Short, hard efforts with recovery. Improves VO2max and running economy.

Long Run

Weekly distance builder. Develops endurance and mental toughness for race day.

Recovery

Very easy pace after hard sessions. Promotes adaptation without adding stress.

Smart features

Your running and lifting, finally in sync

Personalised pace zones

Enter your easy pace or a recent race time and SHFT calculates every training zone for you.

Smart scheduling

Hard runs are scheduled away from leg days so neither session suffers.

Auto-adjusted strength volume

After hard or long runs, SHFT reduces your strength volume automatically so you recover properly.

Pace recalibration

After 3+ speed sessions, SHFT analyses your RPE data and adjusts your pace zones if you've improved.

Race date targeting

Set a race date and SHFT structures your plan to peak at the right time. Optional but powerful.
