My biggest problem was never motivation — it was that I'd miss two sessions and the whole plan would fall apart.</p> <p>Every. Single. Time.</p> <p>I'd look at the plan, see I was already 3 sessions behind, and just... stop. Sound familiar?</p> <h2> So I built RunAdapt </h2> <p>RunAdapt is a training plan that adapts automatically when you miss sessions:</p> <ul> <li>Miss a session? It reschedules it.</li> <li>Miss two in a row? It lowers the intensity.</li> <li>Too far behind? It moves your race date instead of pretending you're still on track.</li> <li>Less than 30 min available? It creates a shorter session so you don't skip entirely.</li> </ul> <p>No AI, no black magic. Just smart logic that keeps your plan relevant no matter what life throws at you.</p> <h2> The stack </h2> <ul> <li>Next.js</li> <li>Vercel (Hobby plan — free)</li> <li>Supabase</li> </ul> <p>Built in 13 days from scratch.</p> <h2> What I learned </h2> <p>The hardest part wasn't the code — it was figuring out who the app is actually for. After two days of Reddit feedback I landed on this: <strong>people who have been starting and quitting running plans for years, not because they're lazy, but because the plan never forgives you for being human.</strong></p> <p>Still looking for my first real users and brutal feedback.</p> <p>runadapt.vercel.app</p> <h1> showdev #beginners #webdev #running </h1> productivity showdev sideprojects softwaredevelopment
