Our Methodology

Training built on data.
Results built on you.

Most training programmes are built for the average athlete. We don't believe in average. Every plan we build is derived from your performance data, your age, your event — and it evolves as you do.

The Science Behind the Training
Performance data that
actually means something

We use World Masters Athletics (WMA) age grading standards — the most rigorous benchmark in masters sport — as the foundation for everything we measure and prescribe.

01

WMA Age Grading

Your performance is measured against the world record for your age and event — giving you a score that is genuinely comparable across age groups and disciplines.

02

Continuous Data Input

Every session, every result feeds back into your profile. Your programme adapts in real time — not just at the start of each season.

03

Predictive Progression

We model your trajectory based on your current grade and training response — so you always know where you're heading and what it will take to get there.

Benchmarked against
the world's best

Your performance means something different at 45 than it does at 25. WMA age grading converts your result into a percentage of the world record for your exact age group — the only fair way to measure masters performance. Enter your event and time below to see where you sit.

Plans that adapt
as you improve

A static training plan is outdated the moment you complete your first session. Our AI analyses your results as they come in — adjusting volume, intensity, and focus based on how your body is actually responding. The plan you have in week 8 will look very different from week 1, because you will be.

Your data,
your trajectory

We track the metrics that actually matter for masters athletes — not just times and distances, but age grade trends, recovery indicators, and event-specific performance patterns. Over time, this builds a picture of your athletic profile that no generic app or group programme can replicate.

The Master Athlete Method
Training that respects
the athlete you are today

Masters athletes are not slower younger athletes. You have different physiology, different recovery needs, and different performance drivers. Our method is built around this reality — not borrowed from programmes designed for 22-year-olds.

Age-specific periodisation

Training cycles are structured around the recovery capacity of masters athletes — longer adaptation windows, smarter loading, and built-in recovery phases that prevent the overtraining that ends careers.

Event-specific training

From sprinters to Marathon, and from long-jump to pole-vault, athletes need completely different programmes. We build around your event, your biomechanical demands, and the specific qualities that determine performance in your discipline.

Injury prevention built in

Masters athletes carry history — previous injuries, compensations, and areas of vulnerability. Our programmes are designed to build durability alongside performance, so you stay on the track, not on the physio table.

Generic group training
  • Same plan for every athlete regardless of age or event
  • No adjustment for your individual response to training
  • Progress depends on guesswork and trial and error
  • Built around the average — which means built for nobody
The Master Athlete Method
  • Bespoke programme built around your age, event, and data
  • Adapts continuously as your performance evolves
  • Every decision backed by WMA standards and your own results
  • Built for you specifically — because average training gets average results
