Most AI "coaches" hand you a generic template. Get-Split analyses your Garmin data, calibrates a VDOT, classifies your runner archetype, and builds a periodised plan with goal-pace race simulations. Works for 5K through marathon.
Yes — the Coach V2 engine is free forever. Premium adds unlimited plan history, multi-device sync beyond Garmin, and advanced analytics.
Runna uses fixed templates. Garmin Coach is heart-rate based and doesn't know your race goals. Get-Split runs rule-based periodization (Daniels + Pfitzinger + Hanson hybrid) calibrated to YOUR VDOT with stretch-goal pace override.
Yes — 16 phase templates cover 5K through full marathon at four experience levels. Intermediate marathon plan is 18 weeks with 7-week base, 6-week build, 4-week peak, 1-week taper.
Yes — every workout pushes to Garmin Connect as a structured workout with warmup, main intervals, cooldown, and pace targets. Use as a scheduled training day on your watch.
Plan includes a mid-cycle 10K time trial at the halfway point. Run it all-out; if your result shows VDOT went up, the engine offers a one-click recalibrate that rewrites all remaining workouts at the new paces.
