I built EVAD because I wanted to know why.
I've been an athlete basically my whole life — water polo, lacrosse, hockey, figure skating, football, golf, track. Track is the one that stuck. My senior year I ran on relays that broke a few school records, and nothing taught me more about training than chasing a time that only shows up on one day of the whole season.
For years I built my own workouts with tools like ChatGPT and Claude, and I could never just take the workout and run with it. Every time one gave me an exercise I'd stop and ask whether it was actually any good, and why it worked. I wanted the reasoning, not a list of moves to grind through — and none of the fitness apps I tried answered that. They hand you a plan and expect you to trust it.
So EVAD is built the other way around. It starts from your event and your season and works backward, and it shows you what each session is doing for you and why it belongs in your week. When you understand the plan, you commit to it.
The app can't do the work for you. The reps, the miles, the early mornings — those are on you. EVAD just makes sure it's the right work.
