Coaching réaliste

Appli au top pour une préparation : ajustement du plan en fonction de la séance précédente … seul bémol : il devrait être possible d’intégrer les entraînements croisés et notamment les séances vélo

AI wrapper for running

Some of the partnerships and concepts in this app are pretty cool, but Kotcha ultimately feels like a thin AI wrapper to send your running data to Gemini/Claude/ChatGPT without adding much value on top of what you could get by using those platforms directly. API reselling like this feels to me like double paying for a service I already pay for. Looking forward to seeing if more unique value is added to this app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review Conrco. We greatly appreciate your viewpoint. As a matter of fact, the core of our training offering is not built from any Artificial Intelligence like ChatGPT or Claude. It has been developed specifically with elite athletes and coaches, among whom Eliud Kipchoge and Kilian Jornet, to provide an opinionated and race-tested training approach. We agree though that commercial AI chats can be a good place to start for many runners.

Challenging and Sustainable

This app is very helpful in reaching my running goals. It is comprehensive in understanding my history, upcoming races and fitness goals then setting a plan that is adaptive and works for my daily life as a father that works. The AI coach has been able to answer questions about the plan but also about when to use super shoes in my training, etc. I look forward to trying strength training and nutrition modules soon.

Great training tool, app UI is getting better, much better!

Kotcha has one of the best training plans I’ve used. It really feels like having a coach, and the workouts have helped me improve while still feeling strong and motivated.

The app itself, however, needs work. The UI is not very friendly but it’s getting better. In the last 30 days I have seen a big improvement on the UI. I specially like the way your complete runs look like now. I still feel the feedback needs work and I am still
Begging for type of road options, like giving me the options to train on roads that have hills on purpose or as part of the training.

But I love seen that app keeps getting better every few weeks. Please make a light version, the black version isn’t very “pretty”. I am excited to see what options are you bringing with ios27 and watchOS27. Specially for zone training.

Thank you so much for the honest review Jcokacola. We're rolling out weather integration right now, so it will soon be available in your app for your run brief and debrief. Looking forward to hearing what you think about it.

IA pas au niveau

Je suis passé par cette app pour préparer un trail de 62km 3000d+. Après 1 semaine j’ai résilié l’abonnement.
Première frustration : l’IA ne détecte pas les séances hors plan que je peux faire (faisant partie d’un club de triathlon), ce qui vient fausser les stats de la semaine et l’appréciation des séances. Pour l’IA je passais donc à 3 séances alors que j’en avais une 4eme avec le club.
Deuxième frustration : l’IA ne semble pas connaître le chiffre 6. Suite à une organisation de weekend, j’ai annulé la sortie longue du dimanche, et ai demandé à durcir la séance du vendredi. L’IA me propose donc de passer de 5x5’ à 6x5’. Problème ? L’IA me propose uniquement 7x5’ ou 5x5’. Ça a duré 45 min ou l’IA a compris l’erreur, mais la refaisait instantanément.
Merci pour cette semaine mais c’en est trop pour moi !

Merci pour votre message Anonyme52200. Concernant votre première frustration, l'IA prend bien en compte l'ensemble de vos sorties de course à pied. Nous avons identifié un problème mineur d'affichage des sorties hors plans, nous allons le corriger. Mais en tout cas sachez que l'IA prend bien en compte l'ensemble de vos sorties pour établir votre plan. Concernant votre second point, nous serions ravi d'échanger avec vous pour comprendre exactement ce que vous essayiez de faire. Pouvez-vous nous contacter au support client? Merci d'avance
