Built for the oval
Coaching software that speaks track.
Most coaching apps are gym apps with a track sticker. Laneside is built around how sprint and distance coaches actually work — the season you periodize, the practice you run, the reports you send.
The season, structured like you periodize it
Phases and cycles, not an endless list of workouts. Build the block once, see every group’s week on one calendar, and prescribe sprint work the way you write it — distances, segments, rest, and hurdle spacing alongside sets and loads for the weight room.
- Phases & cycles
- Season structure that matches your periodization, not a workout dump.
- Sprint prescriptions
- Distances, segments, starts, and hurdle setups as first-class work.
- Strength too
- Sets, loads, and progressions in the same program as track work.
- One week, whole roster
- Every group’s training on the same calendar week.
Tools a track coach actually uses
Fly charts for top-end speed. Hurdle touchdown splits without clipboard math. Wicket spacing set in seconds. A pace calculator for reps, tempo, and race pace. Morning readiness before you load the day. These aren’t add-ons — they’re the toolbox the practice runs on.
- Fly charts
- Top-end speed, tracked over time.
- Hurdle splits
- Touchdown rhythm, computed for you.
- Wickets
- Spacing from target rhythm, not guesswork.
- Readiness
- Morning check-ins before you pile on load.
Honest about where we stand
We publish a feature-by-feature comparison against Track Tools Pro, CoachRx, TrainHeroic, BridgeAthletic, TrueCoach, and Everfit — marked the same way for everyone, including where Laneside is behind.
Questions coaches ask
- Who is Laneside for?
- Sprint and distance coaches — especially private coaches who run their own practice, plus high school and club staff. Personal trainers and non-track coaches run the same loop too.
- Does it handle timing at practice?
- Yes. Run sessions live with a built-in stopwatch or Freelap import, get segment velocities and drop-off per rep, and send sprint reports the same day.
- Can athletes use it for free?
- Always. Athletes join with an invite code at no cost. Coaches join the beta for free access while we build with them.
- How does it compare to Track Tools Pro or TrainHeroic?
- We keep an honest, feature-by-feature comparison on the site — Laneside leads on live practice and timing workflows, others lead elsewhere (video analysis, recruiting). Check the compare page.
