Come back stronger, not sooner.

The running plan for the weeks between appointments. It can’t go past the limits your physio set.

I’m a physio

Every other app assumes you’re healthy.

Your watch gives you a recovery score that has never heard of your injury. Strava counts kilometres. Training apps build for a body that isn’t hurt. Your physio’s plan stops at the clinic door. Between appointments, you’re guessing.

You

Two taps, most days

How the run felt, and how the body is. That’s the input.

When it flares, the plan eases

Miss a week or wake up sore and the plan adjusts. You see what changed and why, before it lands.

Review this plan update

Pain increased after the last run, so this proposal keeps more recovery between sessions.

Your care team’s limit means no increases for now.

Paceback can’t outrun your physio

Your physio sets the limits: a weekly distance cap, a hold on adding load, a gate on returning to running. Paceback plans underneath them. Not as a preference it weighs up. As a boundary it cannot cross. And nothing reaches your calendar without showing you why first.

Training guidance, not medical advice.

When it doesn’t know, it says so.

Three days of data isn’t a trend. Paceback will tell you it’s still building a read rather than hand you a confident number. The apps that always have an answer are the ones that get people hurt.

Your runs, already there.

Connect Strava or Apple Health and your runs show up on their own.

Optional and takes less than a minute.
