Before you start

How Idealife works

Ten short rules. They are how Idealife AI, AI running coach, coaches you well, and what to expect from us.

1. 1

   Complete your file first.

   Idealife AI writes nothing until your file is done. Fill it out in the portal or call Idealife AI to finish it together; it takes about ten minutes.

2. 2

   Log every session.

   Idealife AI coaches from what you actually did, so logged runs, cross-training and strength keep your plan accurate.

3. 3

   Check in before key days.

   A quick note on sleep, soreness and energy lets Idealife AI adjust the session before you run it.

4. 4

   Your board shows the next two weeks.

   Your long-term plan lives in your conversation with Idealife AI; ask about it any time.

5. 5

   Change your plan by asking Idealife AI.

   Ask in the portal or on a call. Idealife AI makes sensible changes, adjusts risky ones, and explains every change.

6. 6

   Tell Idealife AI about pain or illness right away.

   Idealife AI is a coach, not a doctor. Pain that changes how you move means stop and see a qualified professional. In an emergency, call 911.

7. 7

   Minutes or miles.

   Minutes convert to miles at your easy pace. Until Idealife AI knows your pace, the conversion is 8 minutes per mile for women and 7 for men. Strength is never counted in minutes.

8. 8

   Calls are part of the Accountability plan.

   The Data plan includes the portal and written coaching. Onboarding calls are open to every member.

9. 9

   Texts are optional.

   You can sign up at idealife.ai/text, and you never need texts to use Idealife.

10. 10

    Your account is yours alone.

    Your file, plan and conversations are private to you.
