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

Everything your team needs to run itself.

Scientific Load Management

Track distance, pace, and sRPE, and visualize weekly and monthly load. ACWR and distance-spike detection help you notice sudden load increases that often lead to injury.

Automatic Tapering

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.

Condition Monitoring

Log sleep, fatigue, body weight, and resting heart rate daily to catch changes in athlete condition early.

Coach Dashboard

See the whole team's condition and load at a glance, and spot at-risk athletes instantly.

Device Integration

Sync with Garmin, COROS, Polar, Strava, Apple Health and Health Connect to import heart rate, runs, and sleep data automatically — no manual entry required.

Energy Availability (EA) Monitoring

Detect drops in energy availability early and send alerts, supporting each athlete's underlying condition.

Research Collaboration

Expert insight behind the load model.

FAQ

Questions we hear before teams sign up.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. When you create a team in the app, a 30-day trial with every feature and no limit on team size starts automatically, with no card required. After the 30 days, teams of up to 5 athletes keep using every feature for free, with no time limit. To continue with more than 5 athletes, 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. Annual billing costs 10 months of the monthly fee (2 months free).

What happens when the trial ends?

You are never charged automatically. Teams of up to 5 athletes keep using OptiRun BASE for free. Teams with more than 5 athletes either sign up for the plan that fits their size band or choose 5 athletes to continue with. Everything recorded during the trial is kept.

Can we pay annually?

Yes. Annual billing costs 10 months of the monthly fee, so 2 months are free (tax included). High school: up to 20 athletes 98,000 JPY / 21-40 148,000 JPY / 41+ 198,000 JPY. University: up to 30 athletes 148,000 JPY / 31-60 198,000 JPY / 61+ 278,000 JPY. Clubs and corporate teams: up to 15 athletes 148,000 JPY / 16-30 228,000 JPY / 31+ 298,000 JPY. Annual fees are paid in full when the contract is signed.

How can we pay?

By invoice (bank transfer) or by credit card (Stripe). You choose the payment method after signing the contract. Monthly plans are paid every month; annual plans are paid in full at signing.

Do you issue quotes and invoices, or documents for school approval?

Yes, we issue quotes and invoices. For any documents your school or organisation needs for budget approval, contact t.kamikubo@athlivia26.com.

What if athletes don't have a smartphone, or can't use one at school?

They can log their data in the web app (app.athlivia26.com) instead. Any computer or tablet with a browser works for recording condition and training.

Which watches and services does it sync with?

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.

Can athletes without a GPS watch use it?

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.

How is this different from a general athlete monitoring platform?

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. See how to choose an athlete monitoring app.

Is the app available in English?

Yes. The iOS app, the Android app and the web dashboard are all available in English. Pricing is billed in Japanese yen.

Who can see an athlete's data?

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.
