Running & Strava

Every run comes back scored against the plan.

Write the session, set the targets, and when the client's watch syncs to Strava the run appears on their calendar matched to what you asked for. Personal trainers with running clients get the same tools a dedicated running coach would.

Verve connects to Strava so that every run a client records is matched to the planned session and scored on pace, distance and heart rate, giving personal trainers and running coaches a complete picture without manual logging.

Run templates with real targets

Build intervals, tempo runs, easy days and long runs as templates with distance, duration, pace and heart-rate targets. Schedule them directly or place them inside a multi-week programme alongside strength work.

Connect Strava once

The client connects Strava from their settings. From then on, any run recorded on a Garmin, Apple Watch, Coros or phone that syncs to Strava arrives in Verve automatically. Nothing to upload, nothing to type in.

Matched to the plan, not just logged next to it

A completed run is matched to the planned session for that day and scored on how close pace, distance and heart rate came to the targets. You see at a glance who hit the session and who needs a conversation.

  • Splits, pace and heart rate on every completed run
  • Score against the planned targets
  • Review the run and leave feedback that lands in chat

No Strava? Still fine

Clients without a watch mark a run complete from the app and add how it went. Strava adds the data; it is not a requirement.

Built for hybrid coaching

Most personal trainers have at least a few clients who run: a first half marathon, a charity 10k, a return from injury. Verve puts those runs on the same calendar as the strength sessions, with the same chat, the same check-ins and the same invoice.

Questions about running & strava

Do my clients need Strava?

No. Clients can mark a run complete manually from the app. Connecting Strava adds pace, distance, heart rate and automatic matching.

Which watches and apps work?

Anything that syncs to Strava, including Garmin, Apple Watch, Coros, Polar, Suunto and the Strava phone app.

Can I coach strength and running clients in one account?

Yes. Strength sessions and runs sit on the same calendar and in the same programmes, so a hybrid client has one plan.

What does the run score mean?

It reflects how closely the completed run matched the planned pace, distance and heart-rate targets for that session.
