The SPLIT Report

“Train smarter. Split faster.” — the only slogan on this page that isn’t a headline.
Training Report · Lead Story

Runner consolidates stack. Brings home the win.

Athletes trading four subscriptions for one platform finally see their week plan itself — off their actual data.

The training market has, for most of the last decade, been a bundle of specialised tabs: a tracker on one URL, a coach in another, a calendar living in a third, a social feed on a fourth, and a strength log pinned somewhere on a fifth. Runners paid subscriptions to all of them, and none of them shared a single datum.

SPLIT is the argument against that arrangement. Built as a single account, it replaces the tracker, the calendar, the coach, the social feed, and the strength log with one dataset that actually informs the others. The plan builder reads the recovery trend. The recovery trend listens to the Garmin sync. The sync feeds the feed. The feed, in turn, reminds the athlete to post what the plan just told them to do.

Four tabs, four logins, four subscriptions, and none of them aware of each other.

— the status quo, retired.

For runners and endurance athletes who want real data and real coaching — not another dashboard that looks pretty and ships nothing to the watch — SPLIT offers a periodised plan that adjusts to VDOT, FTP, or CSS depending on the sport, honours registered B-races, tapers into the A-race, and pushes the workouts to Garmin without needing a copy-paste session.

The argument against consolidation has always been flexibility. But when each sport has its own dedicated engine (running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, strength), and when the data stays exportable to CSV and JSON, the flexibility cost is, on inspection, zero.

Built for athletes.

SPLIT started as Mark’s personal training dashboard on the road to a sub-80 Copenhagen Half Marathon. It grew into a full platform once the core engine proved it could actually help someone hit a real race goal.
