How is Leo different from asking ChatGPT for a training plan?

ChatGPT gives you a generic plan based on a single conversation. Leo syncs with Strava, tracks your training load week after week, remembers your training history, monitors your shoe mileage, and adapts your plan based on how you actually feel — not just what you typed once.

What tools does Leo work with?

Leo works with ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, and any MCP-compatible tool. You can also chat with him on Telegram or directly in the web app.

Do I need a Strava account?

Yes. Leo syncs your runs from Strava (read-only — he never posts or modifies anything). This is how he sees your pace, heart rate, elevation, and training patterns.

What happens after the free trial?

After 7 days, you're charged for the plan you picked: monthly (9.99/month), quarterly (26.99 every 3 months) or yearly (79.99/year, equivalent to 6.66/month). All prices in your local currency at parity. Cancel anytime in one click from your dashboard.

Your data is encrypted, never sold, and never shared. Leo reads your Strava data to coach you — that's it.

What's the community feature?

We're building pack-based challenges, weekly competitions between packs, and a progression system tied to your real training. Your character determines your pack — early members will be the first in.

Returning to running after injury

TL;DR

Come back gradually: start only when you can walk pain-free, use run-walk intervals, increase volume by no more than ~10% per week, and treat pain that worsens during or after a run as a stop signal. The biggest risk is doing too much too soon because you feel fit aerobically while the injured tissue isn't ready. Patience and tracking beat motivation here.

When is it safe to start?

A practical green light: you can walk briskly for 30+ minutes pain-free, daily activities don't provoke the injury, and any acute swelling has settled. For anything beyond a minor niggle, clear it with a physio or sports physician first — especially bone-related pain, which needs real caution.

Run-walk is your friend

Restart with intervals — e.g. 1 min run / 1–2 min walk, repeated — and progress the running portion before the total time. It lets connective tissue re-adapt to impact at a load it can handle. Going straight to continuous running is the classic re-injury route.

Progress slowly: the ~10% rule

Increase weekly volume by no more than about 10%, and don't increase volume and intensity in the same week. Your heart and lungs recover faster than tendons, bones and the injured site — so the aerobic system will feel ready long before the tissue is. Let the slowest-adapting tissue set the pace.

Watch the right signals

Mild stiffness that warms up and fades is usually fine; pain that increases during a run, or that's worse the next morning, means back off. This is where a coach with memory helps: by tracking your history and how you actually feel, it can flag a re-injury pattern early — the single thing a generic plan can't do.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can I run after an injury?

It depends on the injury, but a good rule is to wait until you can walk briskly for 30+ minutes pain-free and daily life doesn't provoke it. For anything more than a minor niggle, get a physio's clearance first.

What is the 10% rule?

A guideline to increase weekly running volume by no more than ~10% to limit re-injury risk. It's not a hard law, but it's a sensible ceiling when coming back.

Should I run through pain?

No. Mild stiffness that fades as you warm up is usually okay, but pain that worsens during or after a run is a stop signal. Pushing through is how niggles become long layoffs.

Coming back from injury?

Coach Leo remembers your injury history and watches your load and body signals as you rebuild — so it can ease off before a niggle becomes a setback.
