The main interaction with the service happens in a chat with the bot @strong01bot. The coach sees your history, plans, and watch data, so the answers are based on your numbers, not generic advice.
What it can do
- show the plan for today, the week, or the month and explain why a specific workout is needed;
- review a completed workout after it comes in from Garmin: compare it with the plan, note deviations, and suggest the next step;
- answer questions about training load, recovery, nutrition, and race preparation;
- change the plan at your request and save the new version;
- log a completed workout if it is not in your watch: “did 50 push-ups,” “ran 8 km in 45 minutes”;
- log your weight: “my weight is 74.2”;
- recheck Garmin data on request;
- update the athlete profile: goal, races, unavailable dates, injuries, equipment;
- show your workout streak and achievements.
Voice, photos, and files
Voice messages are recognized automatically — you can dictate a report on the go. The coach recognizes and saves photos of smart scale displays and test reports: body composition metrics go into the diary, and the rest goes into the athlete’s memory.
How to report so it is useful
The coach cares not only about kilometres but also about context. A good report is short but includes how you felt:
- “did a long run of 18 km, the last 3 were hard, legs were dead”;
- “missed Tuesday, had a flight, feel fine today”;
- “intervals felt easier than last time, I can add more.”
Such details affect the next week more than second-by-second precision.
Examples of phrases that work
- “what is on my plan for today?”
- “review my workout from yesterday”
- “I got sick, rebuild the week”
- “I’m on vacation from August 10 to 20, no workouts”
- “I want to add strength training twice a week”
- “update data from the watch”
- “my weight is 71.5”
What the coach will ask on their own
If something important is missing from the athlete's profile — season goals, day-by-day availability, health restrictions, equipment, or level — the coach will occasionally ask one short question in the chat. You can answer in just a few words: they will parse the answer and save it to the profile. There's no need to reply right away.
Races and results
If a workout coincides with your target race, the review starts with congratulations, not with the percentage of the plan completed. After the main race, the coach will suggest recovery and ask about your next goal — once you name it, they will rebuild the entire planning cascade around it.
The coach doesn't see dropping out of the distance as a failure: they will acknowledge the work done and gently go over the reasons.
Commands and quick requests
/start— start the dialogue and link the chat to your account;/help, "help", "what can you do" — a short overview of the features;- "last workout" or "last run" — a summary of your latest activity from Garmin;
- "my achievements", "streak", "badges" — your current streak of training days and unlocked awards;
- "my weight 71.5" — log your weight.
Everything else can be written in free text: the service doesn't require any special phrasing.
What the coach doesn't do
- doesn't make diagnoses or prescribe treatment — for pain and injury, see a doctor;
- doesn't ask for or accept passwords to Garmin and other services: they are entered only in the dashboard;
- doesn't show internal identifiers or technical fields;
- doesn't make up numbers: if there's no data, they will say so and ask for clarification.
If the answer looks strange
The coach responds to the last message and relies on the dialogue history. If they mixed up the day or the distance, correct it right in the chat: "that was yesterday's workout", "I was talking about a half marathon, not a marathon" — they will recalculate and take the correction into account.
