How it works

01
Connect a wearable — or don't
Any strap or watch that broadcasts heart rate. Without one, Kyde coaches on pace, distance, and structure.
02
Pick or build your workout
A daily workout is ready every morning — or ask the coach for one in chat.
03
Run hands-free
Coaching ducks your music to speak and pauses podcasts, then resumes. Screen stays locked.

Hear what coaching actually sounds like

It speaks when something changes — not on a timer. Press play.

A daily plan, a one-off idea, a full program — or just a run

There’s a workout ready every morning, but you’re never locked into it.

Daily workout: ready when you wake up, built from how you've actually been training.

Ask for one: “something short before work” in chat — the coach drafts it, you tweak it.

Program: weeks toward a race or a goal, and it adapts when life happens.

Free run: choose how much you hear — silent, light check-ins, check-ins plus targets, or full structure.

Every workout meets you at your level

Intervals, tempo, hills, zone work — and a hard day can always flex.

Foundation

Building your aerobic base — consistency, form, time on feet.

Build

Ready to add speed and stamina — tempo and threshold work.

Elevate

Race-focused — higher-intensity intervals and race-pace work.

Works with anything that broadcasts

If it broadcasts heart rate, Kyde reads it — the strap or watch you already own. No account linking, no data sync.

Game changer
After 5 marathons, 3 triathlons and countless half marathons… I thought I knew what I was doing, but this app helped me fine tune my training so I wasn’t just crushing myself every week. I have seen my endurance and training run times improve significantly after years of being stuck at a plateau.
