Your handicap isn't a guess. The moment you connect Apple Health, the app measures it from your last 30 days of real data - daily steps, active minutes, resting heart rate, and time in elevated heart-rate zones. Your first week confirms it, and it recalibrates every 30 days as your fitness changes.
Start a 7-day challenge, send your crew the invite link, and everyone competes on their own handicap. When a challenge ends, the first person to hit "Run it back" starts the rematch - and everyone else joins that same one, so your crew stays together week after week.
No one to compete with yet? Race a bot. Three opponents, each with a different training style, each with a week you can beat. Pick the one that sounds like you and go - Brian walks, Doug trains most days, Amanda never misses.
Or race your Shadow - the you from your own last four weeks. Same routines, same pace, built from your real history. Beat your typical week and you win; win, and your Shadow gets stronger, so the bar rises every time you do. It's the one opponent always exactly your speed.
Daily activity is tracked automatically through Apple Health: workouts with heart-rate zone analysis, steps, exercise minutes, and active calories. Log on-plan nutrition with a single tap - no calorie counting. Build daily streaks for consistency. Leaderboards show standings across everyone in a challenge, and you'll know when someone joins, cheers you on, or a challenge wraps up.
