BallustPlan
12 built-in running plans — 5K to marathon, beginner to advanced — plus your coach’s plan, a gym program, or your own calendar. Every session is a real workout: warm-up, repeats, recovery, cool-down, with pace, HR, and RPE targets.
Training for the professional amateur
Serious training.
Real life.
Ballust helps you fit serious training around work, family and everything else that makes up a real life — a realistic training week, not a theoretically perfect one.
Free for athletes · Built-in plans work with zero coaches
One loop, one app
Build a week that actually works.
Training should adapt to your life — not demand that your life adapt to the plan. Ballust brings training and real commitments together so you can see what’s actually achievable.
Brief
Each evening, Ballust builds tomorrow’s plan around your real life — work rhythm, commute, commitments — and suggests where training fits. One tap places it. It never writes to your calendars.
Execute
The run or gym session is a real workout in the app: step-by-step structure, targets, lock-screen Live Activity, and automatic Apple Health export when you finish.
Reconcile
A late meeting, bad sleep or a missed session shouldn’t destroy the week. Completion is matched to the plan honestly — done, missed, skipped, moved. Your override always wins. No fake streaks.
Report
Progress, load, recovery readiness — and, when coached, completion summaries for your coach. Summaries only. Raw health data never leaves your device.
Built-in plans
5K to marathon. Beginner to advanced. 12 plans.
Enter a goal time or a recent race; Ballust computes your five-zone pace profile and fills every session with real targets. Cutback weeks, long-run progression, taper, race week. Start any Monday — and protect the sessions that matter when life gets busy.

Ballust Coach
A coach’s plan lands in the calendar the athlete already runs from.
- Week-grid editor with the same structured step builder athletes use
- Push a plan with a start date; adjust next week before Monday
- Planned vs actual: done, missed, skipped, moved — per session
- Feedback threads and a weekly review of who needs attention
- Your athlete’s edits are never silently overwritten
Coaches pay. Athletes stay free.
Roster, plan library, assignment, review — all from the web. Athletes connect with an invite code; the full athlete app remains free and fully useful on its own.
