How Dangelo gets you to the start line

A plan built around race day

Every week counts back from 11 April, so base, build, peak and taper land exactly where they should.

Paces from your running

Dangelo reads your recent training from Garmin and Coros and sets workout paces you can actually hold, then adapts them as you get fitter.
