Cadence
Generic training plans don't know what you actually did last week. Cadence does.
What is Cadence?
Cadence is a holistic training system built as a Cowork plugin on Anthropic’s Claude. It covers all sides of your training, whether you’re building toward an event or training for longevity.
Your coach programs strength sessions and sends them directly to a companion iOS app — the work is waiting when you walk in. For endurance and mobility, your coach works with you on targets drawn from your Whoop recovery data and Strava history.
Strength Training Programming
Most training apps tell you what a good workout looks like. Cadence programs your specific next session and sends it to a companion iOS app before you leave the house. When you get to the gym, the work is already prescribed. No decisions at the door.
Ride and Run Analysis
After every ride or run, Cadence pulls your Strava data and goes deeper than the summary screen. It looks at how your effort played out, flags where you’re building fitness and where fatigue is accumulating, and connects what happened in the session to how you’ve been recovering.
Recovery Trends
Today’s recovery score is one data point. Cadence tracks the pattern beneath it — where strain has been building, how long your HRV has been suppressed — to tell the difference between a rough morning and a body that’s been precipitously trending down. One calls for a modified session. The other calls for a longer conversation.
Training Cycle
Recovery tells you how your body is doing right now. Your training cycle tells you why. Cadence holds the structure of your program — what you’re building toward and where you are in the block — and uses that context to make decisions that hold up across a full season. When load needs to come down, it says so before you feel it.
How It Works
Cadence is a Cowork plugin that runs in the Claude desktop app. For strength training, it programs your next session and pushes it to a companion iOS app so the work is waiting when you get there. For endurance and mobility, it connects to Whoop and Strava through authenticated integrations and enriches activity data with performance context. Setup takes a few minutes. After that, each session starts from where your data left off.
