Our story

Built by runners,
for runners.

Born out of a love of running and a hatred for spreadsheets. We started this app to help us hit our own training targets — now we hope to do the same for you.

Two lifelong friends,
one shared obsession.

We've been friends since childhood and have both recently emigrated to Australia. Since school, athletics has always played a big part in our lives. Sprinters in our youth, we've since lost that explosive pace and pivoted to the world of long-distance running.

The one constant has been having each other to push, challenge and coerce ourselves to be the best that we can be.

How it started

Training for the 2021 Sydney Marathon was a nightmare. Lockdowns, curfews and cancellations during Covid meant we were constantly changing our plans.

Those plans consisted of spreadsheets filled with workouts lifted from the internet — perpetually being amended whenever life got in the way.

We got something right though — we hit our goal of completing the marathon in under 4 hours. Since then we've raced a few more times, each time wrestling the same spreadsheets into shape.

At that point we decided to build something better, and Dangelo was born.
