Talking to the coach

What to ask, what it can change, and the weekly allowance.

The chat is a coach who has read your training. It answers on your own runs, your plan and your goal, not on generalities.

Worth asking

• About a period: how your long-run pace or heart rate has moved since June, whether a block did what it should.
• About a session: why yesterday felt hard, what the splits say, what to keep next time.
• About the plan: move a session, swap a day, make a week lighter because life is in the way. It changes the plan, not just the reply.
• About you: the knee is sore, you slept badly, the day will be hot. Pain changes the plan: while it is fresh, no hard session goes into it.

What it works from

Activities from intervals.icu, Suunto, Polar, your phone's health app and the files you upload, your sleep and recovery, your plan, your goal, and what you have told it before. Strava-recorded activities are the exception: it does not read them, by Strava's rules. Your Google Calendar and your phone's calendar, if you connected them, are read so the plan fits your week.

The weekly allowance

Each week has a message allowance, rolling over seven days; the chat tells you when you reach it and when the coach is back. The Pro plan has a higher weekly allowance. Plans and prices.
