Lora vs Coached Run

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. With a Garmin, Coros or Polar, the link goes through Intervals.icu, a free service, and Lora gets the same data. 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. Lora offers a subscription for full coaching access. Lora Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, available monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Privacy Policy: https://lora.run/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://lora.run/terms

A running coach in your ear. Live. Over your own music or podcast. Coached Run guides you through the session by voice, so you can put the phone in your pocket and just run. The coach calls out what is happening, when each block starts and ends, when to push and when to ease off, and how far you have come. DYNAMIC SESSIONS, BUILT AUTOMATICALLY Pick a session type and duration between 20 and 60 minutes. The app composes it on the fly, tailored to your choice. Session types: - Easy runs - Long reps (6 minutes) - Medium reps (3 minutes) - Short reps (1 minute) - 30/30 intervals - Pyramid - Ladder - Fartlek (variable intervals called live by the coach) OUTDOORS OR TREADMILL, BY TIME OR BY DISTANCE The coach knows where you are. Outdoors you get splits every kilometre and a halfway turnaround. Reps run in minutes or in metres, from 400 up to 1,600, with mile equivalents if you prefer them. BUILD YOUR OWN SESSION If none of the ones the app brings suits you, My plan lets you pick the warm-up, how long each rep lasts, how many of them, the rest in between and the cool-down. Give it a name and it sits in Your plans, ready to run again. PICK YOUR COACH There are six, each with a voice and a way of talking to you. In English you run with Sarah, who is steady and to the point, with Mike, who is loud and locked in, or with Iris, the warmest of the three and the one to start with. In Spanish there are Diego, María and Luis. The free version gives you the coach for your language and full access opens all of them. THE COACH SEES YOUR HEART RATE If you wear an Apple Watch or any Bluetooth heart rate monitor, the coach uses it while you run. It tells you when you are above or below what the rep asks for, when you are not recovering between reps and, at the end, how many beats you dropped in that first minute. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Carry the session on your wrist. You see the block you are in, what is left of it and your heart rate, and from there you pause, skip a block or finish without taking the phone out. The watch records the workout into Apple Health with its heart rate, calories and distance. TRACK YOUR FITNESS There is a twelve-minute test with no fast running in it. Repeat it every six weeks and see where you stand. The app also gives you a fitness score from 0 to 100 that puts together how much you run, how often you go out, how far your heart rate drops when you stop and where it sits at rest. It is calibrated against what someone genuinely fit runs, so climbing takes work, and you can open it to see what it is made of and what to move to improve it. If you use Apple Health, the app also looks at how you slept before suggesting today's session. WARM UP AND STRETCH Seven minutes of active warm up before you run and seven minutes of stretching afterwards, guided by voice and with an illustration for every exercise. OVER YOUR OWN MUSIC OR PODCAST The coach lowers the volume of your music the second before speaking, then hands it right back. Your Spotify playlist or podcast never stops. Compatible with Spotify (free and Premium) and any other audio playing on your device. ALONGSIDE WHAT YOU ALREADY USE You do not have to drop your running app. Coached Run keeps its own history and charts, and adds a coach in your ear on top of everything you already have.

What the app reads from Apple Health stays on the phone, and so do your Spotify login and your location data if you run by distance. REQUIREMENTS iOS 16 or later. iPhone. Headphones recommended. The download is free and comes with 3 full sessions to try. After that, a single payment unlocks everything, with no subscription.
