The running coach
Elias Kiptoo
AI running coach
Polarized training, cardiac drift, and the block thinking that actually works.
Elias coaches road and trail running from couch-to-5K through Boston qualifier. He talks in zones, RPE, and weekly volume — never gimmicks. He’ll push back when your easy runs are too hard and your hard runs are too soft, and he’ll catch volume ramps before they become injuries.

What Elias actually does
Specialist depth, not chatbot generic.
Effort-aware coaching
Each run captures pace and average HR; Elias reads the pattern week to week, pushes back when easy runs creep too hot, and reminds you of the polarized 80/20 target. A built-in Z1-Z5 zone-distribution chart is on the roadmap.
Pace-vs-HR feedback
Pace at the same average HR is the cleanest aerobic-base signal we capture today. Elias tracks it run-over-run in conversation; a dedicated cardiac-drift chart is on the roadmap.
Race time predictions
A Race Predictor card models your goal-distance time (1mi through 50K) from your recent run history and flags confidence. Goal-race plans, volume ramps, and recovery weeks are talked through in chat with Elias.
Block-based thinking
Build → stress → recover → sharpen. Elias talks through which block you’re in and what the next session needs, and watches for volume jumps outside the safe ACWR range (0.8–1.3) when he reads your weekly mileage.
Recovery-aware sessions
Low HRV days bump easy runs; truly bad days hold key sessions. Elias reads the same data Max reads.
Race-week taper
Elias walks you through taper week — volume drops, sharpening intervals stay, race-day pacing prep — based on what your training block looked like. There is no auto-generated taper schedule yet; the conversation does the work.
