OPTIRUN BASE+ — FOR EKIDEN & DISTANCE TEAMS
A training-management platform built for ekiden and distance teams. Visualize training load scientifically, and let each athlete's tapering plan toward their target race optimize itself automatically. Go beyond "just logging data" — guide every athlete to a successful peak.

Training Log
That's why daily monitoring of training load and condition matters. OptiRun BASE tracks ACWR (acute:chronic workload ratio) and daily readiness to catch warning signs before pain starts. (van Gent et al. 2007 / Nielsen et al. 2014)
Key Features
Track distance, pace, and sRPE, and visualize weekly and monthly load. ACWR and distance-spike detection help prevent injuries caused by sudden load increases.
Working backward from the target race, generate an optimal tapering plan for each athlete automatically. Plan the load reduction and guide every athlete to a successful peak.
Log sleep, fatigue, body weight, and resting heart rate daily to catch changes in athlete condition early.
See the whole team's condition and load at a glance, and spot at-risk athletes instantly.
Sync with Garmin Connect, Strava, and Apple HealthKit to import heart rate, runs, and sleep data automatically — no manual entry required.
Detect drops in energy availability early and send alerts, supporting each athlete's underlying condition.

FAQ
Yes. Teams of up to 5 athletes use every feature for free, with no card required and no time limit. Beyond that, each team pays a flat monthly fee based on its size band: high school programs from 9,800 JPY, university programs from 14,800 JPY, and clubs and corporate teams from 14,800 JPY. Within a band the price does not change as athletes are added.
Garmin, COROS, Polar, Strava, Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android. Once connected, duration, distance, heart rate, laps and sleep are imported automatically, so athletes only log how they feel.
Yes. Sessions can be entered by hand and training load is calculated from session RPE, so squads where only some athletes own a watch are still fully covered on one dashboard.
Most athlete monitoring platforms are sport-agnostic and focus on collecting and sharing wellness data. OptiRun BASE is built for distance running and turns that data into distance-specific decisions: training load via sRPE and ACWR, energy availability, injury risk flags and taper evaluation, with automatic import from GPS watches so daily compliance stays realistic across a season.

Yes. The iOS app, the Android app and the web dashboard are all available in English. Pricing is billed in Japanese yen.
Only the athlete and the coaching staff of that athlete's team. Athlete data is never sent to external generative AI services. See the privacy policy for details.
