Goals & Supporters.
Accountable, not performative.

Set the goals that actually mean something to you — weekly mileage, monthly elevation, race-distance buildup — and invite a small group of supporters to track and cheer along. Real motivation from the people who care, without turning your training into a social feed.

The two kinds of motivation

Most social fitness apps motivate through visibility — likes, comments, leaderboards. That works for some people, especially in the early days of a habit. But it has a cost: training starts to perform for the audience rather than for the goal.

Supporters are different. A supporter is someone you've invited specifically because they're in your corner — partner, training buddy, mom. They see your progress. They send a reaction when something goes well. They notice when you go quiet for a week and check in. That's the kind of motivation that lasts.

Five people who actually care will outlast five hundred who don't.

The six goal types

PeakPulse covers the goal shapes that matter for trail running and mountain biking. No artificial "steps per day" or generic streaks.

Distance goal Cover X miles or kilometers in a week, month, or custom window. Roll-up is automatic.
Elevation gain goal Vertical feet or meters over a window. For people whose training is defined by climbs, not flats.
Time goal Hours of moving time. Useful when terrain varies so much that distance doesn't compare.
Workout count "Five runs this week." Simple, especially for habit-building phases.
Race buildup Target distance by a target date, with weekly milestones derived automatically. Hands you a sensible progression.
Segment PR Beat your time on a specific segment in your library. The most personal goal type.

How supporters work

  1. 01

    Invite a small circle

    Five to ten people, typically. They get an invite to follow a specific goal — not your whole training history. They tap accept; they see only what you've set up to share.

  2. 02

    They see progress, not workouts

    The supporter view is goal-shaped: "65% of the way to 100 miles this month, with two weeks to go." Individual workouts roll into the goal; supporters aren't seeing every run.

  3. 03

    They can send reactions

    Tap a reaction — fire, mountain, lightning — and it arrives as a soft notification. No comments. No threads. Just an "I see you, keep going."

  4. 04

    You can revoke anytime

    Remove a supporter, end a goal, or pause notifications during a rough week. Your training is yours; supporters are invited guests.

Common questions

Can supporters see my map or specific workouts?

No. They see goal progress only. They know you ran four times this week; they don't see where you ran or your pace. If you want them to see a specific workout, share a Live Beacon or a Shareable Card — those are separate, opt-in surfaces.

Do supporters need PeakPulse to participate?

Yes, for the in-app supporter view and reactions. The relationship lives inside the app on both sides.

What if I want to share goal progress publicly?

You can generate a Shareable Card from a goal milestone — for example, hitting 50% of your monthly elevation target. That's an explicit one-time share, not an ongoing feed.

Can I have multiple goals at once?

Yes. Goals are independent. Distance and elevation, in the same window, with different supporter lists for each — all fine.

Are supporter reactions stored or anonymized?

Stored and attributed. You always know which supporter reacted. Reactions are private — they appear only in your goals view, never on a public feed.

Train for your goals.

Not for the algorithm.
