Hi Product Hunt, I'm Damien, I run IT for a living in Brussels and I build apps on the side. Lora started with my own running. I've had long stretches where my body didn't follow the plan, and every app I tried treated that as my problem. Miss a session, the plan stays the same. Say you're tired, nothing changes. I wanted a coach that listens first. So that's what Lora does. You talk to her like you'd text a coach: "slept badly", "my calves are tight", "I can't run Thursday". She adjusts today's session and rebuilds the rest of the week around it. With an Apple Watch she reads your runs, heart rate and HRV from Apple Health. Garmin, Coros and Polar go through Intervals.icu. During the run she guides you by voice, so you never look at the screen. It's iPhone only for now, available in nine languages. It's a paid app: free to download, coaching is a subscription. The conversation runs on a language model, the plan itself is built by rules I wrote. I'd love feedback from runners, and I'm happy to swap notes with anyone building in health or fitness. I'll be here all day answering.

What makes you drop a training plan?

I'm launching Lora here on Tuesday. It's a running coach for iPhone that rebuilds your week when you tell her what changed.

Before launch day I'd like to hear from runners. The last time you stopped following a plan, what broke it? An injury, work, a bad week of sleep, or the plan itself?

I built Lora around my own answers: long breaks, coming back with a body that didn't follow the schedule. I'm curious whether yours look the same, and what an app could have done differently.
