Runo 2.0▲132I built Runo after years of inconsistent marathon training. GPS watches tell you your pace AFTER it's too late.

Transition▲76Hey HN, I’m Alex, a triathlete, dad, and software engineer. I’ve been building Transition — an app for triathletes that creates adaptive training plans based on your goals, schedule, and workout data (Garmin, Strava, etc). Most plans are static, which never really worked for me as a parent and someone with an unpredictable schedule. Transition adjusts every week using your actual workouts and progress, so the plan changes when you miss a session, set a new PR, or need to shift your priorities. I built this because nothing else was flexible enough for my life, and I’m curious if others have…
