About

riina

Read full description

Stop training alone. RIINA is a team sport for people who work out solo. Join a squad, and every session you do scores points in a live 7-day match against a rival team. HOW A SWIM COMPETES WITH A LIFT RIINA reads the shape of your heart rate. A model works out what you actually did — the intervals, the climbs, the long steady stretch — and scores the effort behind it rather than the distance in front of it. That is why a hard swim, a heavy lift and a long ride can land on the same scoreboard. You are not being ranked against a runner's kilometres. You are being scored on how hard your session was for you, from your own resting and maximum heart rate. WHICH DEVICES WORK Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, Polar, Oura, Samsung, Fitbit and Pixel Watch. Anything that writes to Apple Health or Health Connect will do, and RIINA reads what is already there — no separate tracking, no second app running in your pocket. A SEASON, NOT A STREAK A new match starts every Monday and runs seven days. Win it, and your squad climbs the table. Five weeks decides the title, then the next season starts. Rest days are part of training and RIINA is built that way. There is no streak to break, no penalty for a day off, nothing that punishes you for being injured or ill. Your team scores when you turn up — not against you when you do not. YOUR SQUAD Bring the people you already train with, or get placed with players looking for a team. Squads have their own chat, their own table, and their own reasons to argue about the lineup. Challenges run alongside the season for anyone who wants a target between matches. Every match gets its own commentary, written as it happens. WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR HEALTH DATA It is never used for advertising. Not by us, not by anyone we work with — your workouts, heart rate and routes are for scoring and for the people on your team, and nothing else. Your data is stored on servers in the EU. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app. THIS IS THE FOUNDING SEASON RIINA is early, and it moves fast. Expect frequent updates, new features and a league that grows every week. The squads playing now are the ones shaping what it becomes. Bring your team.

VéloPeak builds your cycling training around the race you are aiming at, and keeps it honest week by week as your body responds. It is a training platform, not a chat window: workout protocols drawn from published sport science, curated by people who coach cyclists for a living, and fitted to your own numbers. HOW IT WORKS Set your event date and the hours you have each week. VéloPeak lays out the phases from base through taper and fills the weeks with sessions that have a reason behind them. Every session tells you what it is for, what to hold, and for how long. THE METHOD Sessions come from protocols you can look up: Seiler's polarised 80/20 distribution, Ronnestad 40-20s, Billat intervals, Coggan power zones, critical power and W prime. Nothing is invented to look clever. WHAT YOU SEE - Power zones set from your own test, redrawn as your FTP moves - Fitness, fatigue and form, so you know when you are ready to go hard - Sleep, steps and heart rate variability, read from Apple Health - Your week, with the target and duration of every session - Live targets while you ride, with your trainer and heart rate strap connected over Bluetooth WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY RIDE Rides arrive on their own from Wahoo, Polar, Strava and Intervals.icu. VéloPeak sits alongside the tools you already use rather than asking you to leave them. HEALTH DATA With your permission, VéloPeak reads sleep, steps and heart rate variability from Apple Health to judge how recovered you are. That data shapes your training and nothing else. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and never shared with third parties. LANGUAGES Full support in English and Portuguese, including the explanation behind every session.
