Whether it is a college distance squad or a forty-athlete club, Matter reads every runner overnight, flags who needs attention, and drafts the change for you to approve.
AI for Running
Ask anything about your athletes
See how Matter answers real running coaching questions — with names, numbers, and peer-reviewed research.
“My marathoner has been flat for ten days. Is she overtrained or undertrained?”
Undertrained is unlikely — her volume is up 18% over the block. The pattern reads overreaching: HRV trending down since the 22-miler, RHR up 6 bpm, and decoupling on her last two long runs rose from 3.1% to 7.4%, meaning she is holding pace at a rising cardiac cost. Sleep has also dropped to 6.2h. I would take one down week at 65% before the next quality block rather than pushing through.

Built for Running coaches
Every feature designed around the challenges you face daily.
Every runner, every morning
Not just the ones who mentioned something yesterday. Whole-roster scoring means the quiet athlete trending down gets seen too.
Reads the session, not the label
Adaptations are written against the actual prescribed steps — the mile repeats, the pace band, the recovery — not a generic "easier day".
Your paces and thresholds
Zones and threshold paces go in once, so prescriptions come back in the language you already coach in.
Device-agnostic by design
Garmin through Strava or Apple Health, WHOOP, Polar, Google Health, plus intervals.icu for athletes already living there.
Injury signal before the complaint
Load ratios cross-referenced with readiness and check-ins, so a build that has gone wrong surfaces before someone limps into practice.
Nothing sends without you
Every adaptation and message arrives drafted and waiting. You approve, edit, or reject — and rejecting teaches it what you actually believe.
