IRONOS writes a week-by-week plan from where you are now to your race distance, tells you exactly what to swim, ride, run and eat each day, and adjusts when life gets in the way.
Free while we launch. No card. Sprint to full Ironman, plus 5K to marathon.

Run on your phone's GPS or your Apple Watch and the distance shows up in your plan. Speeds and paces are targets, not promises. Terrain, wind and heat change them.
Your longest swim, ride and run build gradually toward your race, within your starting ability and available time, with lighter weeks and a taper. A plan may not reach race-distance training if those limits do not allow it. If your race is far away, you start with a Foundation block of easy, steady work first.
| Week | Longest swim | Longest ride | Longest run |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 500 m | 1:15 | 0:30 |
| 10 | 1,400 m | 2:20 | 1:05 |
| 20 | 2,200 m | 3:45 | 1:40 |
| 27 (peak) | 3,000 m | 5:00 | 2:30 |

Each day shows your energy range, protein and carbohydrate for that day's training, then a full meal plan with portions. Heavier training days get more carbs. Rest days get less. Plus a shopping list for the week.

Real weeks aren't perfect. IRONOS adjusts so you don't have to guess whether to push, skip or cram.
Sixty seconds: fatigue, soreness, mood, sleep. Connect Apple Health or Health Connect and it also reads your sleep, HRV and resting heart rate.
Green, amber or red, with the reasons in plain English. Not a medical measurement, just a training guide.
Hard work becomes steady, long sessions get shorter, or you rest. Changes never add load, and every one comes with its reason.
Add friends with a code, see each other's streaks and workouts, and cheer with kudos. You choose what's shared, and can turn it off at any time.
Ask why today changed, how to fuel a long ride, or to move a session. Built-in rules answer and check proposed changes; you confirm coach proposals before they apply. External AI is currently paused. If it becomes available, it will require your separate permission. Read our privacy policy before choosing it: filtering cannot guarantee anonymity.
IRONOS asks health questions before it builds anything. If you report chest pain, fainting or other red flags, your plan pauses and you see the emergency number. It won't restart until you confirm a doctor has cleared you. Some reported conditions are not supported by this beta; a resume declaration cannot override that restriction. IRONOS does not verify medical clearance. For adults 18+. In an emergency call 000. For crisis support call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
Yes, IRONOS is free while we launch. If that ever changes we'll tell you well in advance in the app and by email.
iPhone and Android. We're opening the beta in small groups. Join the waitlist and we'll send your invite and install steps.
Runs and rides you record on your Apple Watch are imported through Apple Health, with their distance and heart rate. You can also record runs with your phone's GPS inside the app.
IRONOS can start with short pool sessions and rests, and suggests lessons if you cannot swim yet. It cannot establish that you are ready for a race or verify who is with you. Follow the session warnings and never swim alone in open water; use appropriate supervision and qualified instruction.
Our rules engine builds your plan and checks proposed changes against its programmed training limits. These checks cannot detect every risk. External AI is currently paused. Built-in coaching and plan generation remain available without AI consent. Any future external AI processing requires both deployment approval and your separate permission, as explained in the privacy policy.
Your profile, plan, check-ins and workouts, so the plan can adapt. We don't sell data or use ad trackers. Recorded route coordinates stay on your device; enabling an optional map sends third-party requests for the viewed area. You can export account data and request account deletion in the app. Deletion requests, legal retention and backup limits are explained in our privacy policy.
No. Without them, targets use heart rate from your watch or how hard it feels (RPE). With a power meter, rides also show watts.
