Taper is a marathon coach in plain English. An adaptive plan that learns from your runs, gut-friendly fuelling you actually practise, and gentle nudges to keep you on track — without the jargon or the noise.
Free during beta · Works with Apple Health · No ads
Taper does the thinking so you can just run. Tap once for the exact numbers — the rest stays quietly out of the way.
Tell Taper your race and recent times. It builds a full base‑build‑peak‑taper marathon plan — explained simply, with the exact paces a tap away.
Connect Apple Health and Taper ticks off sessions automatically, re‑estimates your fitness, and quietly adapts the weeks ahead.
An on‑device read on how training's going — what's working, what to ease off, and an honest check on your goal as race day nears.
A calm nudge for each day's session at the time you choose, a confirmation when a run logs, and a weekly note from your coach.
Optional strength on your chosen days, with tap‑to‑learn guides for every exercise so you're never guessing what to do.
Training for a marathon? Get the full plan. Running casually? Switch to a rolling weekly rhythm — no countdown, no pressure.
Most runners hit the wall because they never practised eating on the move. Taper builds fuelling into your long runs — so race‑day carbs feel routine, not a gamble.
“The fittest legs in the world won't finish a marathon on an empty tank. Taper makes fuelling a habit you've already rehearsed.”
No long forms, no account required. Add a race whenever you're ready.
Your training days, a recent race time, and whether you've got a marathon on the calendar.
A week‑by‑week plan with paces, fuelling and strength — all explained in plain English.
Taper tracks your runs, adapts the plan, and keeps you calm all the way to the start line.
