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: Runners chase performance, not rhythm.
Most runners focus on mileage and pace but ignore the rituals that sustain progress—nutrition, form, recovery. Research with 37 participants revealed three critical gaps: poor balance between training and recovery, improper running form, and lack of strength/flexibility habits. These missing rituals lead to fatigue and injury. Runners don’t need more data—they need guided structure that fits their lifestyle.
