How Arc Works

Keep every next decision connected

The decisions you make—whether you train, adjust, or delay a run—give Arc more context for how to support your goal. The context you add helps keep the next decision useful.

The current coaching loop

What happens when you use Arc.

The point is not to remove every decision from training.

It is to give each decision the context it needs.

  1. Step 1 of 7

    Start with what you are working toward

    Once you pick a goal, Arc helps map a plan to get there. If you already have an active goal or current plan, that gives Arc a place to start.

  2. Step 2 of 7

    Bring in your current training

    Recent training, readiness, and other context you choose to provide can make today’s coaching more useful.

  3. Step 3 of 7

    Decide what matters today

    Basecamp brings planned work, current context, and what to consider now into one place.

  4. Step 4 of 7

    Learn from every completed activity

    Activity Review lets you look back at a logged or imported activity, what was planned, and any information you add afterward.

  5. Step 5 of 7

    Ask Coach Arc

    Ask Coach Arc about your current plan, past training, and the decision in front of you.

  6. Step 6 of 7

    Plan for next week

    Each week starts with a new plan. Proposed plans and meaningful changes Arc suggests require review and confirmation rather than being silently applied.

  7. Step 7 of 7

    Trajectory shows the bigger picture

    See your active goal, the path ahead, and recent training trends in the same view.

Every completed activity adds to the picture.

Activity Review connects what happened, what was planned, the context you add afterward, and what may matter for the next decision.

Completed activity
  1. What happened

    The facts of the activity

  2. What was planned

    The intended workout

  3. What you add

    How it felt or what changed

  4. What may matter next

    The coaching takeaway

More than a plan in isolation

A plan is just the beginning. Arc focuses on what matters most to you—whether that means keeping today’s direction intact in Basecamp or shifting because life got in the way. Your goal, plan, recent training, added context, and reviews work together to shape the next decision.
