Klivet’s coaching engine has become more sophisticated and more comprehensive. For me to trust what it suggests, I need to understand what I am looking at when I open a run.
I want that information to be beautifully presented. I also want to recognise where the session helps me, and why it belongs in my training. The reasoning needs to be visible in the experience.
That is what matters to me about these changes: being able to inspect a recommendation and understand the purpose behind it.
The workout picker now lets you browse a family of sessions and open the one you want to inspect. Hills, tempo, fartlek: the choice begins with the kind of run, then moves into the detail.
From one suggestion to a list
Previously, the main interaction handed over one suggested session. The new picker exposes a ranked list within the family. Its ranking uses training context such as phase, the app’s identified training limiter, and deload context.
A row opens the existing session detail sheet. You can read what is involved before deciding. The easy-run shortcut still goes directly to an easy prescription.
Show me where it helps, and why.
The explanation gets a place
The workout catalogue already contained short science notes. Much of that writing was difficult to encounter in the normal flow.
The Today drawer now shows the opening sentence of a session’s note. Tap it to read the rest. The detail sheet also keeps the explanation available. The point is to let you inspect the reasoning without making every visit to the plan a reading assignment.
A note gives context for a workout. It does not establish that the exact session, at the exact dose shown, has been tested for your circumstances.
Planning means choosing a day
The week’s “+ Add” action can now place a session on the selected date. You do not have to start it immediately.
If that day already has a session, adding another preserves the first. Moving a session also carries its authored workout, so a temporarily shortened display does not quietly become the permanent prescription.
What changed
- Browse the workout familyInspect a ranked set of options instead of only the first suggestion.
- Read the reasonScience notes surface briefly on Today, with more available on tap.
- Choose the intended dateAdd from the week view to plan a later session.
- Keep an existing sessionA second session is added alongside it.
Where this leaves it
The picker still uses default distances for each family. It does not yet use the full recent-session history to manage repetition across days. Those are meaningful limits on how personalised this browsing view is.
What it gives you now is a clearer route into the session and its explanation. The standard I want to keep building towards is simple: when I open a run, I should be able to see what it is asking of me and recognise why that work is useful.
