Does your app use concepts from to the book “The running formula”?

Yes. If you’re a fan of Jack Daniels’ “Running Formula,” Milo will feel very familiar.

His structured, science-based approach inspired parts of the app, and we’ve built on those principles to make them more modern and personalized.

Here’s how that influence shows up:

Milo Run Score

Similar in concept to Daniels’ VDOT, the Milo Run Score gives you one number that reflects your current running fitness. Our version uses our own data and models, so it may differ slightly from a traditional VDOT.

Training Paces

Like Daniels’ system, we give you clear pace targets for each type of workout. We’ve adapted these zones for modern wearables and added a dedicated Recovery pace for recovery runs.

In short, Milo builds on proven training principles but tailors them to today’s runners and devices. If you like structured, data-driven training, you’ll be right at home.
