An AI running coach that actually knows you. Sign in with Strava and your coach immediately understands your pace, your volume, and your typical week. No onboarding quiz. No manual logging. Just a coach that picks up where your training left off. "Surprised how nice it was to chat with! Got a few good suggestions for how to train with my injury." - Robert Wrehammar, ultra marathoner KNOWS YOUR RUNNING THE MOMENT YOU CONNECT Connect Strava once. Your coach reads your history, recognizes your patterns, and starts coaching from run one. REMEMBERS WHAT NO OTHER APP TRACKS Injuries, preferences, schedule, what motivates you, how you felt after last Sunday's long run. Your coach builds a picture of you over time, so every run is built around your life, not a template. COACHES YOU TOWARD YOUR NEXT PB Aerobic efficiency. Load ratios. Recovery patterns. The app surfaces what matters in your numbers and tells you what to do about them. Not another dashboard. Actual coaching. TREATS REST LIKE A SKILL Taking a rest day when you need it is a skill. Recovery is where adaptation happens, and your coach celebrates the days off as much as the hard sessions. CHAT WITH YOUR COACH Ask anything: pacing for tomorrow's run, how to train through a niggle, what your last week says about your fitness, how to taper for race day. Your coach has the context to answer. WHY THIS APP - Built on your Strava history, not a generic plan - Remembers your injuries and goals across conversations - Surfaces aerobic efficiency, load, and recovery trends - Adapts when life gets in the way - Honest about rest, not a "more is better" coach GETTING STARTED 1.

Today's session is up front; tick it off, skip it, or move it to another day in one tap. Your runs link themselves to the session they were — nothing is ever marked missed. Your race outlook How likely you are to hit your goal race, on a dial, with the reasoning behind it. A word on training mornings One notification the morning of a session, in your coach's words, saying what today is for. Switch it off in Profile. Charts in the chat Your coach can draw your weekly mileage, your fitness, and your aerobic efficiency — your pace at one easy heart rate over time. Tap a week to read it. Runs in the conversation When your coach talks about a run, it can show the run itself, with a link through to Strava. Also: a sharper coach, smoother check-ins, and an Android splash screen fix. ### 1.2.8 — 2026-07-25 What's new in this update: Multiple training plans Keep several named plans at once — a marathon build, a rehab block, whatever you're working toward — and archive the ones you've finished.
