Stride First Marathon

4 runs/wk · Gentle

A conservative first-finish build. One long run a week, step-back weeks built in, no track work required.

Stride 5-Day Pace Builder

5 runs/wk · Moderate

Weekly race-pace miles teach you what marathon effort actually feels like before the gun goes off.

Stride Time-Based Foundation

5 runs/wk · Moderate

Runs measured in minutes, not miles, for gentler weekly mileage and more margin when life gets busy.

Eleven more where those came from. The app matches you to yours.

Your race is the center of everything

A countdown to your start line lives on every screen. Each week exists because race day does.

A plan that respects your calendar

Long runs land on the days you chose. Miss a workout and the plan absorbs it, and you never start over from zero.

Structured runs on your wrist

Workouts push to Garmin and sync with Apple Health. Finish the run and it checks itself off.

Runners training for your race

A feed of athletes counting down to the same start line, because you're not training alone.

Training for one of these?

Every Stride plan is built around a real race and a real date. Pick yours and get a plan pointed straight at that start line.

Questions, answered.

How much does Stride cost?

Stride is $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Download the app, get matched to your plan, and subscribe to start training.

I've never run a marathon. Is this for me?

Especially you. Tell Stride this is your first and it matches you to a conservative first-finish build: one long run a week, step-back weeks built in, all so you reach the start line healthy.

What happens after I download the app?

You answer a few quick questions about your race and your running, and Stride builds your plan on the spot. Every week from today to race day, already on your calendar.

Which marathons does Stride support?

Any marathon, anywhere. Pick from the races Stride knows (Boston, Chicago, New York, Marine Corps and more) or enter your own race and date.

What if I miss a workout?

Life happens, and Stride is built on consistency over perfection. A missed day doesn't break the plan, and you never start over from zero.

Do I need a Garmin or Apple Watch?

No. Stride works on its own and syncs with Apple Health. If you do have a Garmin, structured runs push straight to your watch and activities sync back automatically.

Your race is the center of everything.

Every week between now and your start line, planned. Download Stride and start training today.
