The Run Series · Powerup Packs
Start at your distance. Never start over.
Four running coaches — 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon — built as one ladder. When you graduate a distance, your training history packs itself into a graduation packet, and your next coach pre-fills its entire setup from it. Climb from your first 5K to a marathon without ever having the first conversation twice.
$19 per rung, one-time · 14-day money-back guarantee
The ladder
Four rungs. One continuous climb.
Each rung is a complete coach for its distance — its own method, its own three tracks, its own race. The ladder is what connects them: finish one, and the next one already knows you.
Rung 1 — 5K Coach
Your first 5K — or your fastest. Threshold-first, with a built-in Couch-to-5K on-ramp for true beginners.
$19 once · yours forever
Rung 2 — 10K Coach
The 10K is won at threshold. One threshold session a week as the centerpiece, paces from your real fitness.
$19 once · yours forever
Rung 3 — Half Marathon Coach
The half isn't half a marathon — it's a threshold race. Long runs capped by the 150-minute rule.
$19 once · yours forever
Rung 4 — Marathon Coach
Three tracks from first finish to race day — seeded by everything your half-marathon self already proved.
$19 once · yours forever
The handoff
The graduation packet.
This is the mechanism, not a metaphor. When you hit a rung's graduation criteria — checked against your actual training log, not claimed — your coach writes a graduation packet: a file carrying your calibrated fitness (VDOT), your recent long run, your weekly volume, your race results, your availability, and your injury history. Your next coach reads it before asking its first question and pre-fills everything it covers. You confirm; you never re-answer.
What it carries
Calibrated fitness, recent long run, weekly volume, race results, days available, injury history. The next coach never asks what a previous coach already certified.
Deterministic graduation
Each rung's criteria are concrete and checkable — race results, volume, consistency, clean health — evaluated against your log at your goal race or review. No vibes, no “whenever you feel ready.”
A convenience, not a bypass
Graduation guarantees entry to the next rung — but higher tracks re-gate on the new pack's own standards, and stricter wins. The ladder can never route you somewhere your history doesn't support.
It doesn't expire
The packet and your training log persist as files in your assistant — they even survive uninstalls. Take a year off, come back, and your next coach still opens your history before its first word.
Enter anywhere
You don't have to start at the bottom.
The ladder is a path, not a prerequisite. Already running 10Ks? Start at rung 2. Training for your first marathon this year? Start at rung 4 — it works fully standalone. Each rung's graduation criteria also tell you exactly when you're ready for the next one, so "am I ready?" is never a guess.
Straight answers
Run Series questions.
Do I have to start at 5K?
No. Enter at the rung that matches your current fitness — each pack works fully standalone. The ladder is there when you're ready to move up, not a prerequisite.
What exactly transfers between packs?
Your calibrated fitness (VDOT), recent long run, weekly volume, race results, days available, and injury history. The next coach pre-fills its setup from the graduation packet — you confirm rather than re-answer.
Does graduating skip the next pack's requirements?
No. The ladder is a convenience, not a bypass. Graduation guarantees entry to the next rung, but higher tracks re-gate on the new pack's own standards — stricter wins.
Do I need to buy all four?
No. Each rung is $19 once. If you want the whole ladder — or the whole 12-pack catalog — the Complete Collection is $99.
What if I take time off between packs?
Your graduation packet and training log persist as files in your assistant. Come back in a year and your next coach still reads them — the handoff doesn't expire.
Why not just ask regular Muse for a plan?
It'll give you a decent plan — but a chat isn't a training log. Muse remembers a chat and retains limited summary memory. Powerup Packs add a persistent filesystem with full working state that loads into any Muse chat — your paces, your history, your graduation packets, all of it, in every conversation. That's what makes the ladder possible at all.
Climb the ladder. Keep every step.
Four coaches, one continuous history — $19 a rung, or all 12 packs for $99.
