Actual
A plan that expects you to show up — and still works when life gets in the way.
Strava already counts the miles. Actual keeps the week honest: protect the days you can run, and rewrite cleanly when you can’t leave the desk (about ten minutes) or when a day gets deleted. Missing is not the goal. Quitting isn’t either. You’ll be okay — then you get back to the block.

What’s included
-
01 Today / Week / Log
see what was planned and what actually happened. Intent vs Happened. Show up when you can; log zeros when you can’t.
-
02 When a day gets deleted
no revenge long baked into the product. Cut the week clean so the next one can hold. The aim is still the block, not a blank calendar.
-
03 Desk
short sessions for hours that won’t hold a run. Contact when you can’t leave the desk — not a second quality day, not an excuse to skip the easy run when you have one.
-
04 Meals + Strength
simple ideas next to the calendar: ordinary food, about ten minutes after the run. Not a diet. Not a gym program.
-
05 Paces in Settings, elevation-aware
easy stays easy at your elevation. You’re not copying a sea-level template.
Why not another plan app
Most plan apps only work if every week is perfect. Actual is built for people who mean to show up — job, school, kids, coaching — and need the plan to survive a missed day without turning into quit-or-punish. Missing is not the brand. Honesty is. Human coaching, if you want someone rewriting with you, stays on https://alextbaker.com/coaching at $149/month. This app is the day-to-day tool.
Keep going
If you don’t love running, it just means you haven’t been running long enough. Nobody loves it at first — it can suck. The body is changing and protecting you. Keep showing up.
