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.
