Living with a chronic illness means living with uncertainty. Some days you feel almost normal. Other days, getting out of bed is an achievement. The idea of following a fixed training plan seems absurd when your body refuses to cooperate with schedules.
But running with chronic illness isn't impossible. It just requires a different approach. One that acknowledges your reality, adapts to your fluctuating capacity, and celebrates progress without punishing setbacks.
The Journal: Your Most Valuable Tool
For runners with chronic illness, the journal feature becomes essential
Symptoms & Energy
Track how your condition is affecting you day to day. The plan responds to your fluctuating capacity.
Medication Effects
Log how medications impact your training. Some days are better than others, and the plan knows it.
Good Days & Bad Days
The plan eases off when you're struggling and builds when you're capable. No rigid schedules.
A Plan That Works Around Your Condition
This responsive approach means you can maintain running as part of your life without the guilt that comes from "failing" to follow a rigid plan.
The plan works around your condition, not despite it. It understands that some weeks you might run three times and feel great. Other weeks, you might manage one short walk and that's a victory.
Progress on your terms.
Progress on Your Terms
Running with chronic illness isn't about matching healthy runners or following standard training advice. It's about finding what works for you, maintaining fitness where possible, and enjoying the mental and physical benefits that running provides.
Flikness helps you do exactly that, with a plan that's genuinely personalised to your circumstances. No judgement. No rigid expectations. Just support for your running journey, however that looks for you.
