Question 1

What is kovaa and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

kovaa is an adaptive training app for iOS that creates personalized running and triathlon training plans from 5K to Ironman. It automatically adjusts your daily workouts based on your performance, recovery metrics (HRV, sleep), and schedule changes. Unlike static training plans, kovaa adapts in real-time to keep you progressing toward your goals while preventing burnout and injury.

Question 2

What training plans does kovaa offer?

Accepted Answer

kovaa offers adaptive training plans for: Running (5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon) and Triathlon (sprint, Olympic, Ironman 70.3, full Ironman). All plans include structured workouts, pacing guidance, and automatic adjustments based on your fitness and recovery.

Question 3

How is kovaa different from Strava, TrainingPeaks, or Garmin Connect?

Accepted Answer

Strava and Garmin Connect are primarily tracking platforms that record your workouts but don't create adaptive training plans. TrainingPeaks offers plans but they're static and don't auto adjust. kovaa is an intelligent coaching platform that generates plans AND adapts them automatically based on your real time data. You can export workouts from kovaa to Strava, TrainingPeaks, and Garmin Connect to keep using those platforms for tracking and social features.

Question 4

Does kovaa work with Apple Watch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, kovaa is built for Apple Watch and iPhone. It integrates seamlessly with Apple Health to track workouts, HRV, sleep, and recovery data. You can execute workouts directly from your Apple Watch and all data syncs automatically to inform your adaptive training plan.

Question 5

What happens if I miss a workout?

Accepted Answer

kovaa automatically adjusts your plan when you miss workouts. The platform redistributes training load across upcoming days to keep you on track toward your goal without overloading you. This flexibility is a key advantage over static training plans that don't adapt to real life.

Question 6

Can kovaa help me train for an Ironman or triathlon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, kovaa specializes in triathlon training. It creates integrated swim, bike, and run plans for sprint, Olympic, Ironman 70.3, and full Ironman distances. The platform automatically balances training load across all three sports, schedules brick workouts (bike-to-run transitions), and adjusts based on your performance in each discipline.

Question 7

Is kovaa better than hiring a coach?

Accepted Answer

kovaa provides adaptive coaching that's more affordable than hiring a personal coach ($100-300/month). It's ideal for self-motivated athletes who want intelligent, structured training that adapts to their life. However, if you need personalized form analysis, race strategy calls, or emotional support, a human coach is irreplaceable. Many athletes use kovaa for daily adaptive planning and occasionally consult a coach for specific guidance.
