What you'll receive

On every day a run is on your plan, Pheidi sends a single email at 5 AM in your local time zone. The subject line carries the day, workout, and pace so you can scan it from the lock screen without opening it — for example:

Fri: Easy Run — 4 mi · Conversational pace

The body repeats the date, workout description, and pace target. That's it — no marketing, no streaks.

Sender: mnemea@mail.pheidi.training.

When emails are sent

  • Each user's 5 AM hour is checked in their saved time zone (IANA, e.g. America/New_York).
  • The background pass runs every 10 minutes, so the email lands sometime between 5:00 and 5:10 AM.
  • An email is sent only on days a run is scheduled — rest days, vacation days, and skipped workouts produce no email.
  • If you have multiple workouts on the same day, the longest run is the one summarised.
  • Each day gets at most one email. If sending fails, the system retries on the next 10-minute pass within the same morning window.

Opting in

New accounts are opted in by default. During onboarding, the Schedule step auto-detects your time zone from the browser and shows a checkbox confirming the reminder. Uncheck it to opt out before your plan is generated.

For an existing account, set your time zone and toggle Send me a 5 AM workout reminder email in Settings. Without a time zone, no email is scheduled even if the toggle is on — the time zone is what tells the system when 5 AM is for you.

Opting out

Three ways to stop the emails:

  • Settings toggle — uncheck "Send me a 5 AM workout reminder email" in Settings.
  • Unsubscribe link — every email has an unsubscribe link in the footer. One click confirms.
  • One-click in Gmail / Apple Mail / Yahoo — these clients render an unsubscribe button from the List-Unsubscribe header (RFC 8058). Clicking it sends a one-click POST to Pheidi without you needing to visit the site.

The unsubscribe link uses your account's signed share token, so it works even when you're not logged in. It only flips the morning-email opt-out — sign-in codes and other transactional emails are unaffected.

Re-enabling

Visit Settings, re-check the morning-email toggle, and save. Reminders resume on the next morning a run is scheduled.
