Claude de Pace is a personal running coach that works entirely through Telegram, helping runners build consistency and adapt training to their goals, fitness, and everyday schedules. After learning about a runner’s experience, goals, and limitations, it creates a weekly plan with clear workouts and reminders. Runners can submit brief post-run reports with distance, time, heart rate, and perceived effort; reports can be reviewed, edited, or cancelled, and the plan adjusts to missed sessions, fatigue, illness, or other changes.

With a training history, Claude can estimate heart-rate and pace zones, threshold, VO₂max, and race times using the Daniels VDOT model. These are estimates based on reported workouts, not laboratory tests or medical advice. Beginners can follow a nine-week walk-run program designed to build up to three easy 30-minute runs per week. The service also supports multiple race goals, custom distances, and requests to move individual sessions. Profile memory helps retain details such as injuries and training habits, and users can review or delete stored information.
