Pray the Hours, fast on Friday, train, tell a brother the truth. The Last 100 Days: finish 2026 a different man. Free forever, no man pays to pray.
Nine disciplines. One rule of life. The whole man.
Hard Road is a Catholic rule of life for men, kept daily: the Liturgy of the Hours, the day's Mass readings and saint, the iron, the fast, an honest Examen, and a brotherhood that holds you to it. Everything a man needs to pray is free, forever. No man pays to pray.
THE LAST 100 DAYS — September 23 to December 31. One hundred days, five feasts, and a grid that shows what you kept. Finish the year a different man. A Hard Road Premium walk — the Hours and every prayer along the way stay free.
ONE RULE OF LIFE
Nine daily disciplines across body, mind, soul, and the men around you: Arise, Pray, Word, Examen, Build, Nourish, Work, Love, Leisure. Keep them all for a Perfect Day, or take Gentle Start and build the Rule over two weeks. Mercy is built in: a missed day is a Begin Again, never a reset.
THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS, COMPLETE
The full breviary in your pocket. Every hour from the Office of Readings to Compline, the four-week psalter in the Douay-Rheims, 577 readings from the Fathers, proper offices for solemnities and feasts, Marian antiphons by season, and the Te Deum where the Church sings it. Free.
THE DAY'S MASS AND THE DAY'S SAINT
The complete lectionary, Sunday and weekday cycles, with a factual life of the saint on his day, the Rosary with the day's mysteries, and a Scripture plan that walks the whole story of salvation in 90, 180, or 365 days.
THE IRON
Workout templates and programs including the Rule of Iron, a library of lifts, live set logging with RPE and rest timers, personal records, running with pace zones and interval rest, and share cards for the work you offered up.
THE FAST
Nutrition tracking that knows the Church calendar: the screen turns from Fuel to Fast on fast days. Barcode scanning, USDA and Open Food Facts search, macro presets, TDEE.
THE EXAMEN
A nightly Ignatian examination of conscience, a Deep Examen for the falls that repeat, a Confession guide, and the pattern of your struggle over time.
THE BROTHERHOOD
Small groups of men who check in on each other: a weekly pulse, group challenges, an accountability anchor, a patron saint. Open to Brotherhood puts you with men who are looking too.
THE MEASURE
Virtue Points, levels from Pilgrim to Crusader, ascetic challenges, and weekly, monthly, and seasonal reviews that tell the truth about the last stretch of road.
FREE AND PREMIUM
Prayer, Scripture, the Hours, the Examen, the saints, and daily discipline tracking are free and will always be free. Hard Road Premium unlocks the full utility stack: workout logging, templates and programs, nutrition, the running belt, insights and long reviews, and the guided walks like The Last 100 Days. The chapel is free; the pilgrimage guide is Premium. $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year, with a 14-day free trial on the annual.

Track your runs with GPS
• On Train, tap Track a Run, Walk or Ride, lock your phone and go: live time, distance and pace, auto-pause at lights, and a buzz at every mile or half-mile split.

• Every GPS workout gets a Route card with splits and elevation, and saves to Apple Health. Shared routes hide your start and finish to protect your home.
• Run Story Sticker: share a run, ride or swim to Instagram, with Mile Splits from your watch.
The Hundred Days
• A fresh setup: your Rule with a Floor, one act a week for someone close to you, a weekly training target, and a push, pull and run test you take again at the end. Days you've kept stay in your history.
• Mark each day Kept, Floor or Not Today, with Mercy Days, a Sunday look-back and a Day 100 comparison.
The Brotherhood
• What Your Brothers See: you choose what your group sees.
• This Week Together: days kept across your group, with no rankings.
• Your Anchor: one brother who gets a private note if you go quiet for three days.
• Join an Open Brotherhood to find a group. Group challenges count only the men who are walking.
Also
