About cadea

Cadea is an AI-powered running coach designed for half and full marathon training. It connects to your Strava account to automatically import runs, sets a goal with a target date, and builds a periodized plan working backward from race day. The AI proposes each session and explains the reasoning, but all suggestions are filtered through deterministic safety rules—such as no more than ~10% weekly ramp, a rest day after hard efforts, a down week every 3–4 weeks, and a real taper. Sessions are pushed to a dedicated Google Calendar; if you move or skip a run, the plan adapts without cramming or nagging. Cadea uses two training modes: Coral for hard efforts and Sage for recovery, emphasizing that rest is training too. Currently invite-only as the team refines the system.
