Not another run tracker

A run tracker tells you what happened.
A coach changes what happens next.

Before the run, during the hard bit, and after you finish, Motivator keeps the experience personal without turning it into noise.

During the run
Live cue · Sarge“90 seconds at 5:45 per kilometre. Starting now.”

Seven coaches. Seven ways to keep moving.

Motivator reacts to real pace, completed splits, hard patches, pauses, and the session you planned. Choose direct orders, calm guidance, dry humour, precise performance cues, or a run that feels like a mission or quest.

Before the run

Reminders you might actually keep on
