Courez
Courez redefines the runner’s experience by turning chaotic training habits into mindful, structured rituals. Designed as both coach and companion, Courez intelligently plans warm-ups, routes, meals, and recovery sequences. By learning each runner’s rhythm—speed, fatigue, terrain, and time—it transforms performance into a lifestyle routine that balances intensity with restoration. The name Courez (French for “run”) embodies movement as connection, rhythm, and routine.

Challenge: Running smarter, not harder
Runners often overtrain or ignore recovery due to fragmented tools — one app for mileage, another for nutrition, and none for balance. Courez redefines the running experience by creating an ecosystem that adapts to your goals, body, and habits. The challenge was to design a coaching app that feels personal and intuitive rather than data-heavy or robotic.
