Set the goal, build the plan
Add your races and what you’re chasing. Kip builds a phased plan that periodises backwards from your main race — and you shape every block of it in plain conversation.
Closed beta — Spring 2026The coach that
The coach that
actually remembers you.
Kip is an AI coach for runners. It combines the data from your watch with the context around each run — how it felt, the weather, what else was going on in your life. Whether you run three times a week or chase a marathon PB, it spots patterns, keeps adjusting, and shapes plans around the athlete you are.

How are you feeling about tonight's tempo?
Legs were properly heavy this morning — hoping they come around by the evening.

Makes sense — you ran 162 km last week with two threshold sessions, so you're carrying a bit of overreaching from that block. Let's swap the tempo for an aerobic 12 km at HR 142–148 and let the legs come back.
Your LT1 from the March test is 152 bpm, so 142–148 keeps you firmly aerobic. Good?

Features
Coaching that adapts to the runner you are.
Run twice a week or twice a day, with a watch full of data and your own lactate numbers or just a feel for the effort — Kip meets you where you are. Not a couch-to-5k app; a coach for anyone training with intent.
Syncs, reads, and remembers
Garmin and Strava flow in automatically. Kip reads every session, asks the right follow-up, and builds a memory of how you respond over months — injuries, goals, what works and what doesn’t.
Adjusts and coaches you forward
Plans bend with your life, not the other way around. Kip adapts the week with you, checks in after the sessions that matter, and keeps nudging you toward the goal.
Inside the app
Your training, rendered honestly.
No vanity dashboards. The coach surfaces the things you'd actually act on this week — and argues its case when you ask.

Coaching philosophy
No two athletes get the same coach.
Kip has a point of view — but it's yours to set. You pick the methodology you train by and shape it in your own words, and every plan and answer is built from your data, your thresholds, and the context only you can give.
You choose the methodology
Train by the school you believe in.
A handful of base philosophies, inspired by the leading schools of endurance coaching. Pick the one you train by — or let your coach set it — then layer your own rules on top, and Kip's defaults give way to your intent.
Tuned to your context
It coaches the athlete in front of it.
Your lactate thresholds set your zones — or your easy effort does, if you have no test yet. Your last few weeks set your load, and it scales to your level, three runs a week or double days. Your goals, races, injuries and history shape the plan — and how a run actually felt counts as much as the numbers on the watch.
Data before advice
Recommendations come after the coach has read your actual recent training — never from a static plan template.
Memory-aware
Injuries, niggles, goals, big life events — all saved to long-term memory and consulted before plan or recovery advice.
Honest and concise
Flag risks, don't pad. Two to four sentences for greetings, longer only when teaching or analyzing.
Who it's for
Runners, coaches and clubs — one data layer.
Kip starts with the individual athlete. Coaches and clubs build on top of that same history — without ever flattening the athlete into a number.
Runners
Three runs a week or double days, your first structured block or your tenth ultra — self-coached or working with a human coach. Everything lives in one place: the hard data from your watch and the soft context around each run.
- Coaching that scales to your level and how much you train
- One coach that remembers injuries, goals and life context
- Lactate, race calendar, goals, trends and history in one app
- Pulls from Garmin and Strava — manual entry when off-grid
Coaches
A coach view with a roster of your athletes. Drill into anyone's full Kip context — data, plan, memories, summaries — and let Kip surface the long-term patterns across everyone you train.
- Steer each athlete’s methodology and override the AI
- Kip is the shared workspace, not a replacement for you
- Long-term patterns aggregated across your whole roster
Clubs & communities
Publish a shared workout calendar — the Tuesday track session, the Sunday long run, championship blocks. Athletes who opt in see those sessions land in their own plan.
- Published sessions become fixed anchors in each plan
- Kip periodises an athlete’s training around them
- Data flows one way — athletes’ metrics stay private
