Strava logs your training.
We coach it.

lope pulls every run you've logged — zones, pacing trends, fatigue patterns, race goals — and turns it into pre-run guidance, post-run analysis, and weekly plans that fit your training cycle.

Your Strava data tells a story nobody's reading.

0%

of easy runs end up in the gray zone — too fast for recovery, too slow for adaptation.

0

generic training plans that actually know your HR zones, your fatigue patterns, or your race history.

0 hrs

per week your Strava data sits unread between the runs you actually log.

Three steps. No spreadsheets.

1

Connect Strava

One-click OAuth. lope pulls your training history, HR data, and activity metadata. No manual upload.

2

lope reads your training

Your zones, your pacing trends, your fatigue patterns. Not a formula — your actual data.

3

Ask your coach anything

Pre-run check-ins, post-run analysis, weekly summaries. A coach that knows your last 12 weeks as well as you do.

ZONES

Knows your zones, not a formula’s guess

lope detects your real HR zones from race and training data — not age-based formulas. It adjusts as your fitness changes.

How we calculate zones
Detected HR Zones
Z1 Recovery< 130 bpm
Z2 Aerobic130–152 bpm
Z3 Tempo152–163 bpm
Z4 Threshold163–174 bpm
Z5 Max174+ bpm
ALERTS

Spots gray zone drift before it costs you

61% of your easy runs in zone 3? lope flags it immediately and tells you exactly what pace to hold.

What the gray zone is
Gray zone alert
61% of your easy runs this month landed in zone 3.
Slow your easy runs to 8:20/mi or slower. Your aerobic base needs zone 2 time, not gray zone stress.
COACHING

Coaching that fits your week, not a template

Pre-run guidance based on your fatigue and schedule. Post-run feedback that actually references what just happened. Weekly summaries that tell you what to change.

What lope sees in a run
Good week — 38 miles, all easy runs in zone. Saturday's long run was your strongest this cycle. Next week: add one tempo session Wednesday, keep everything else easy.

This was supposed to be easy but you spent 40% in zone 3. Slow down to 8:20+ next time — your aerobic base will thank you.

A coach that takes your data seriously.

Twenty-plus capabilities under the hood — most of them invisible to Strava. The depth is the point.

READS YOUR RUNS

Per-activity intelligence

  • Auto run classification — Easy, Long, Threshold, VO2max, Race, Recovery, Strides Learn more →
  • Smart stride detection — catches the strides you didn't tag
  • Route shape from your polyline — loop, out-and-back, or point-to-point
  • Elevation by half — surfaces front-loaded vs back-loaded climbing
  • Terrain-adjusted cardiac drift — separates fatigue from hills Learn more →
  • Per-second zone distribution from raw HR streams
KNOWS YOU

Personalization

  • Smart HR zones — race-based LTHR, observed max HR, or age-predicted fallback Learn more →
  • Long-run threshold scaled to your mileage — and learns from your overrides
  • Goal-weighted training scores — 5K weights ≠ marathon weights Learn more →
  • Units preference — paced everywhere in miles or kilometers
  • Athlete notes — injury, sleep, equipment context the coach factors into every reply
COACHES YOU

AI brain

  • Built on Daniels, Magness, Fitzgerald, and Canova methodologies
  • Knowledge corpora for training science, injury prevention, race execution, and fueling
  • Continuity across chats — builds on prior advice, flags ignored recommendations
  • Pre-run briefings, post-run analysis, and weekly summaries with specific paces
  • Daily workout suggestions tied to fatigue, schedule, and race phase
CATCHES PATTERNS

Cross-run analysis

  • Gray-zone detection — flags when easy runs are drifting moderate-hard Learn more →
  • 80/20 intensity-distribution check across your last 4 weeks
  • Weekly mileage trend — flags 10%+ jumps before injury risk creeps in
  • Zone-2 pace progression — same HR, faster pace = aerobic improvement
  • Composite training-score trend — improving, stable, or declining

Built for self-coached runners with a goal race.

You train 4–6 days a week and log everything on Strava.

You're targeting a PR — a sub-3 marathon, a 1:30 half, a fast 5K.

You read your data but wish someone else could tell you what it means.

Not a couch-to-5K app. Not a generic plan generator. A coach that meets you where you are.
