Race results that find you, and a steadier planner

Two things landed this week that change how you use the calendar. The race finder you already use to add events now has a partner: race results that show up on their own. And the plan builder underneath got noticeably more dependable.

A steadier planner

The plan builder is sturdier under the hood. Sport types you didn't quite spell right get coerced to the closest match instead of erroring. If you ask for a plan without saying when to start, it starts today rather than refusing. And the coach now catches itself when it claims it moved or merged workouts that it didn't actually move or merge, so the message you see matches the calendar you see.

Race finder

Ask the coach for a race the way you'd ask a friend. By name, by location, or by distance band. It pulls the date, course, and GPX, and lands the race on your calendar in one turn.

Try things like:

• "Find a fell race near me this week"
• "Add the Castleton Great Ridge Race to my calendar"
• "What 10ks are happening in Sheffield in the next month?"
• "I want to do Unbound Gravel next year. Set it as a target."

The race goes straight on your calendar with the right category (A or B race), distance, elevation, and start time. Race-day briefing, kit requirements, and course notes attached. Out of the box: fell races (FRA calendar), the World Marathon Majors, Ironman, UTMB, plus gravel, ultras, and anything else findable on the open web.

Race results that find you

This is the new bit. Once a race is on your calendar, the coach quietly watches the open web for the official chip-timed result. When the result is published (sportident, race-organiser site, federation table, wherever), it picks the result up, attaches it to your calendar event, and lets you know:

• A push notification the moment it lands.
• An email with your time, position, and pace.
• An in-chat banner next time you open the app, so it never gets lost in your phone.

You don't have to refresh. You don't have to remember to check. You don't have to type it in. The first thing you'll know about your finish time is your phone buzzing with it.

You can also just ask about your finishes whenever, and the coach pulls from your race history:

• "What's my 10k PB?"
• "How did I do at Manchester Marathon last year?"
• "Show my half-marathon history."
• "Am I faster on flat or hilly 5ks?"

Times, dates, course conditions, where it fits in your trajectory. No spreadsheet, no scrolling.

Coming next

More race series getting indexed week by week, particularly outside the UK and US. And the iOS app shell is getting close, so your race-result push can land where it matters most.
