Lora is a running coach who actually listens. She uses AI to understand what you tell her and adjust your training. Most training plans hand you a schedule and expect you to follow it no matter what. Lora works the other way around. You tell her how you feel and what happened in your week, and she reworks your sessions to match. A bad night, a trip, a niggle starting up: your plan moves with you instead of guilt-tripping you. What Lora does for you: A plan that keeps adapting. Lora builds your program from your goal, your real level and the time you have, then revises it whenever something changes. A coach who believes you. If you say a session was too hard, Lora takes it seriously and eases off. She never doubles down on a plan that isn't working for you. Connected to your watch. With an Apple Watch, Lora reads your runs, heart rate and recovery straight from Apple Health: one permission, nothing to install. A Garmin or COROS connects directly from the app, and your sessions go to the watch. With a Polar, the link goes through Intervals.icu, a free service. No watch? Tell her how the run went and she adapts just the same. Recovery aware. Lora watches your heart rate variability and your training load to keep you clear of overtraining and injury. Who it's for: whether you're training for your first 5K or a marathon, coming back after a break, or just trying to run better without getting hurt, Lora meets you at your level.
