What is Coach Leo?
What makes Coach Leo different:
Strava-first coaching — Leo never asks "what's your weekly mileage?" He already knows. Strava syncs every 30 minutes. When you chat, Leo has already analyzed your last 10 activities, your training load, your acute-to-chronic workload ratio (ACWR), and weekly patterns.
Plans built from YOUR actual paces — No generic templates. Easy, tempo, interval, and long-run paces are derived from 8 weeks of real Strava data. Your Zone 2 pace comes from YOUR heart rate distributions.
Persistent coaching memory — Leo remembers across sessions. He references specific past conversations: "Last week you reported calf tightness and your ACWR was 1.4 — volume is up 30%, let's be cautious."
Multi-indicator overtraining prevention — Cross-references ACWR, volume increase speed, rest days, fatigue signals, body signal patterns, and plan adherence. Graduated response from observation to professional referral.
Running character system (gamification) — 9 animal archetypes (Wolf, Mountain Goat, Turtle, Phoenix, Hawk, Bear, Fox, Cheetah, Otter) computed from 9 real training dimensions. Not a personality quiz — calculated from your Strava data. Evolves through 3 stages.
Pack system (community) — Your character determines your pack. Collective migrations on a world map where every member's kilometers advance the group. Inter-pack challenges. Real-world environmental impact unlocks (tree planting, ocean cleanup).
Race preparation with web search — Say "I'm doing the UTMB CCC" and Leo searches for real race data: distance, elevation, GPX profile, and predicts your finish time using 4 scientific models.
Biomechanical shoe wear analysis — 6-zone visual inspection revealing biomechanical signals (overpronation, lateral wear patterns).
VO2max & race predictions — 3 estimation methods cross-validated. Race time predictions using 4 models with trail-adjusted estimates.
Sports nutrition guidance — Evidence-based race fueling (IOC/ISSN guidelines) adapted to your weight, duration, elevation, and gut tolerance.
Available everywhere — Web app (PWA), Telegram bot, MCP server for ChatGPT/Claude/Mistral/Cursor. Same coach, same memory, same tools on every channel.
12 coaching tools, 11 specialized workflows. Built on a scientific knowledge base of 65+ peer-reviewed papers covering periodization, load management, trail-specific training, biomechanics, nutrition, and psychology.
