Mo is your training partner for every sport. Talk to Mo the way you would talk to a coach, and Mo answers with your own numbers: how you slept, how you recovered, what you trained and what is coming up this week. Mo informs. You decide. WHAT MO DOES • Morning brief: a short summary each morning of your readiness, sleep and heart rate variability, with your top goal for the day. • Training plans: sessions and training blocks built around your recovery and your week, ready to export as a PDF, a calendar file or a spreadsheet. • Honest feedback: ask whether you are ready to train hard today or how you are tracking toward a goal, and get an answer with the real numbers. • Goals and journal: set goals, log how sessions felt and let Mo spot the patterns. • Voice: talk to Mo hands free and hear answers read aloud. • Your coach: link your coach and choose which goals to share. You read and approve every note before it is sent. CONNECTIONS Every connection is optional and only happens when you turn it on: Apple Health (sleep, heart rate variability, resting heart rate and workouts) and WHOOP, with more services joining. FREE AND MO PRO Mo is free to download, with 10 messages a day, goals and your journal. Mo Pro adds unlimited chat, voice, the morning brief, training plans and wearable connections.
