One morning read for the whole squad.
Sixty runners, four training groups, and one of you. Matter reads the roster overnight and tells you which handful need you today — before the bus leaves.

“Who should skip the tempo tomorrow?”
Three. Nkemdi — HRV down four straight days, ACWR 1.4, and she raced Saturday. Salas — 5.1h sleep two nights running with RHR up 8 bpm. Brenner flagged Achilles soreness in yesterday’s check-in and has 62 miles on the week. I can swap all three to an easy 40 with strides and keep the rest of the group on the tempo — want to see the change before it goes out?

Built for Cross Country coaches
Every feature designed around the challenges you face daily.
Built for a roster, not one runner
Most endurance tools assume a coach opening one athlete’s calendar and reading it carefully. That does not compress at sixty. Matter triages the squad and surfaces the exception.
Whatever they already wear
Half your team is on Garmin, some on Apple Watch, a few on WHOOP, and two have nothing. Matter reads across all of it and nobody is asked to buy a device.
Mileage that accounts for the week
Acute:chronic ratios per runner, tracked against the plan you actually wrote, so build weeks are visibly build weeks and a spike gets caught while it is still a spike.
Adaptations in your paces
When a session needs to change, the change comes back written in real numbers against the real named steps — threshold reps at their pace, not "reduce intensity".
Championship season protection
Illness and overreaching risk monitored continuously through the taper, when losing a scorer costs the meet rather than the workout.
Independent of any watch company
Matter is not owned by a device manufacturer, so your data is not a funnel toward hardware. It exports whenever you want it.
