Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that generates interval training plans based on age, current weekly mileage, and specific time goals.
  2. A curated database of high school-specific track workouts verified by certified youth running coaches.
  3. A community platform for high school athletes to share and peer-review training plans that avoid overtraining.
