Meet Bricko, your coach.
I'm Bricko. Connect your Garmin, tell me in thirty seconds how you slept and how the legs feel, and I'll shape today's session around how you actually recovered. Some mornings that means pushing. Some mornings it means easing off. Both are training.
Bricko is in private beta right now — a small group of Android runners and triathletes, brought in a handful at a time so I can learn each body properly. There's no public signup yet; a wider release comes later.
Think you'd be a good fit? Say hello at [email protected].
Android first, invite by invite. iPhone comes later.
Tuesday you slept badly and your heart-rate variability dropped. So I held today easy and slid the hard session back two days. The work doesn't disappear. It waits until you can absorb it.
Each morning I stack four things into one short brief. Bottom brick up, this is how today gets decided. And I show my working, in plain English.
Overnight HRV, sleep, resting heart rate, your recent training load, and any niggles roll into one readiness read: Primed, Steady, Hold easy, or Rest up. It settles over your first few weeks as I learn your normal.
The widest brick: today's actual session, sized to the readiness read. If the body's flat, the hard work slides to a better day and today stays easy. The plan catches up. Nothing is lost.
Fuelling and pacing sized to the session in front of you, not pulled from a generic chart. What to eat before, how hard today should feel, when to ease. Plain language, actually useful.
Top of the stack. A short, honest read on why today looks the way it does: when to push, when to hold. Written in coach voice and signed, every morning, by me.
Same body-first coaching, whether you're chasing a first 5K or balancing three disciplines into a triathlon.
Building toward a 5K, 10K, half, marathon or ultra? I've got you. Training for a triathlon? I coach swim, bike and run together, with your swim background, your heat and your altitude factored in per discipline, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Log a niggle and I'll route around it. String together a few rough nights and I'll quietly back off the load before it becomes an injury. Newer to this? You get more protective floors, not fewer. And as your race nears, I taper you in so you arrive fresh, not fried.
Bricko is invite-only for now. I'm bringing people in a handful at a time so I can learn each body properly — free while we're in beta, no card needed. A public sign-up opens once the beta has done its job.
Invites go out in small rounds to Android runners and triathletes. Curious whether Bricko's a fit for you? Drop me a line at [email protected].
