Running, Reimagined as a Conversation

An AI-powered coach that guides, adapts, and responds — all through a simple chat interface, backed by structured insights when you need them.

This project explores a new approach to digital coaching — one that trades menus and static plans for conversation and adaptability. By using a chat-first interface, runners can receive workouts, set goals, and adjust their training in natural, human-like interactions. Behind the scenes, a structured You screen gives users a clear view of their progress, effort, and stats — balancing flexibility with focus.

Coaching is personal, responsive, and ongoing—just like a conversation.

Chat as Interface: A Natural Fit for Coaching

Coaching is personal, responsive, and ongoing—just like a conversation. A chat-based interface supports this by delivering guidance, accountability, and plan adjustments in a human, approachable way.

Workouts in the Flow of Conversation

Workouts are suggested directly in the chat, where users can view, edit, or swap them without leaving the conversation. It keeps the experience fluid and focused — like talking to a real coach who hands you exactly what you need, when you need it.

Edit with Chat

Tapping on any scheduled workout opens a chat conversation with the coach. From there, users can tweak distance, pace, or timing in natural language — and get instant feedback or suggestions. This keeps edits simple, fast, and context-aware.

Structured When It Matters

While the app runs on conversation, the YOU screen offers a structured, at-a-glance view of your training. It’s the visual dashboard behind the dialogue — showing progress, stats, VO₂ max, effort trends, and upcoming sessions. Ideal for users who want quick clarity without digging through messages.
