One clear answer every morning.
Open AKURA and it tells you what to do today, and why. Your readiness comes from your sleep, how sore you feel and your recent training, and it decides how hard today should be.
TrainExample
Today’s intervals stay on.
Why: Slept well, legs fresh, a steady week.
Go easyExample
Today eased to an easy run.
Why: Heavy week and a short night’s sleep.
RestExample
Full rest, light mobility.
Why: Very tired after a hard block.
Readiness is today’s check. Your AISRI Index (your running capability across six pillars) and your training load are separate numbers, each explained on its own.
What makes AKURA different
Tracking tells you what happened. AKURA decides what should happen next, with a coach behind it.
Coach-led, on a platform for many coaches
Your coach builds your plan on AKURA. Train with one, or start with Coach Kura’s method while you find yours.
Readiness before intensity
Hard sessions only when your body is ready. Sleep, soreness and recent load decide.
Safe build-up
When your weekly load jumps too fast, the plan eases off, so you keep running.
Planned vs actual
Your coach sees what you actually ran: pace, elevation, heart-rate zones and the splits, next to what was planned.
AISRI six pillars + your TAEI
Running, strength, balance, range of motion, mobility and alignment. Six pillars, one picture of you as a runner. Your TAEI (AKURA Endurance Index) sets your paces.
Made for Tamil Nadu

How it works
Four steps. After the first two, it runs every day on its own.
1
Create your free account
Sign up and fill in your runner profile: your goal, your running so far and any injuries.
2
Bring your runs in
Connect your watch or upload your first runs. AKURA shows no plan or scores until it has enough of your data, so nothing you see is a guess.
3
Your coach builds your plan
Your coach builds your plan on AKURA, around your goal race and your own paces.
4
Every day, it adapts
Check in, get today’s session, run it. The run comes back from your watch or phone, and the plan adjusts.
See it before you sign up
Real screens come from Coach Kura’s own training. The rest are drawings of the real screens: each one is marked, and none holds a real athlete’s data.

For coaches
Coaches: bring your squad.
Run your whole group on AKURA. You plan, athletes train, and you see planned vs actual for every athlete in one roster.
Draft a week, publish when ready
Groups, templates, the drill library and coach notes
Your athletes get the daily readiness check, Telegram reminders and watch sync, free
AKURA gives you a running plan that adapts to you. Once your setup is done, it tells you each day what to run, checks that against how ready your body is, and holds back hard sessions when you need recovery. Your runs come back in from your watch or phone, and the plan adjusts.
Do I need a coach?
No. Start free and train on Coach Kura’s method. If you train with a coach on AKURA, they build and adjust your plan.
I’m a coach. Can I bring my athletes?
Yes. AKURA is built for many coaches: plan for your whole group, publish each week when it’s ready, and see planned vs actual for every athlete. Email contact@akura.in and we’ll set up your squad.
Garmin: install the AKURA watch app from the Connect IQ store. It shows the day’s session on your wrist and sends your runs back to AKURA. That app, or uploading a FIT file, is the way to bring Garmin runs in today. Suunto and COROS connect from your AKURA settings, and on Android any app that writes to Health Connect (for example Samsung Health) works too. Apple Watch is not supported yet.
The races on our races page, each with its organiser and official website. Race entry is always separate: you enter with the organiser, and AKURA runs the training.
Coming soon: the iPhone app is in App Store review. Until then, open akura.in in Safari and use Add to Home Screen. The Android app is ready to download now.
Yes. AKURA is free for every runner: plans, readiness, watch sync and coach tools. There is nothing to buy.
Is my data safe?
Your data is yours. Watches and apps connect through their own secure sign-in, so we never see your passwords, and your data is used only for your training.
