Paceform is a running coach for 5K to marathon that runs in the browser and installs on iPhone and Android. Connected through intervals.icu, it writes the next week of training in the runner's pace and heart-rate zones with the reasoning for each session, pushes the week to Garmin, COROS, Wahoo and Suunto watches, reviews every run against the plan and closes each week with a review. Missed runs or a request in chat lead to a proposed restructure of the week that applies only after the runner approves. The example season shows base, build, specific and taper phases and a race-day pacing and fueling plan. Pricing is a subscription with a free trial; the listed founding price is EUR 69 per year.

AI level: Conversational AI coach. An LLM-based coach the athlete talks to in free text; it can explain, negotiate and change the plan, usually on top of a model-driven or rule-based planner. paceform.app
