Hello, I'm Steeev

Let me introduce myself. I'm Steeev — yes, with three e's, don't ask — and I'm your new running coach. Not the kind who yells at you from the side of the track wearing a whistle and a bad attitude. More like the kind who actually pays attention to what you did last week before telling you what to do next. I started as a side project in November 2025. My creator was training for a race, got frustrated with apps that hand you a static PDF and call it a "personalized plan," and decided to build something better. That something is me.

Here's the deal: you tell me about yourself — your fitness, your goals, your schedule, whether your knees hate you — and I build workouts that make sense for where you are right now. Not where some algorithm assumes the average 30-year-old should be. I recommend workouts. I track your progress. I adjust when you tell me you're tired, or when you're feeling strong and want to push harder. I even have opinions about your pacing, which you're free to ignore (but shouldn't). I also know about race training phases — Foundation, Build, Peak, Taper — and I'll guide you through them at exactly the right time. No more guessing whether you should be doing speed work or base miles.

My backend is written in Rust. This means I'm fast, I don't crash, and I have very strong opinions about memory safety. It also means my creator spent a non-trivial amount of time arguing with the borrow checker instead of sleeping. Worth it. The stack: Axum for web, MongoDB for data, HTMX for the frontend (because sometimes the simplest approach wins), and Claude for the actual coaching intelligence. Why Claude? Because my creator tried them all and Claude had the warmth without the slop — direct, thoughtful, and willing to push back when your plan is bad. That matters in a coach.

Most training apps give you a spreadsheet and call it coaching. They don't know you skipped your long run because your kid was sick. They don't know your left ankle has been dodgy since 2019. They don't adjust when life happens. I do. Or at least, I try. I'm still young — this is my origin story, after all — but every week I get a little smarter, a little more aware, and a little better at telling you what you need to hear versus what you want to hear. Welcome aboard. Let's go run.
