Using Prompts

Using prompts with Stride AI works best when you treat it like an ongoing conversation about your training, not a one-off command. The more context you share about your goals, calendar, and history, the more tailored and useful the responses will be.

Creating a plan#

When creating a plan, tell Stride AI exactly what you are working towards and what your life looks like.

• Include your goal event(s), dates, type, distance, and priorities (for example, "Mallorca 312 as my A race, plus a local sportive 6 weeks before").
• Add constraints such as available training days, preferred long-ride day, gym access, and typical weekly hours so the plan fits your reality rather than an idealised schedule.

Re-planning when things change#

Use prompts to adjust your plan whenever life or fitness shifts.

• Ask the AI to re-plan a block if you miss several key sessions, get sick, or add/remove an event so it can rebuild progression safely.
• You can also request specific changes like "lighten this week but keep Sunday's long ride" or "shift tomorrow's intervals later in the week because of travel."

Asking for advice#

Stride AI can also act as a coach-style sounding board, not just a scheduler.

• Ask for advice on pacing, fuelling, tapering, or how to balance strength with riding, and reference your actual events and recent training.
• Share concrete details such as recent interval sets, RPE, or weights you have lifted so the guidance reflects where you really are, not a generic athlete profile.

Be specific and conversational#

The more specific and conversational you are, the better the AI can respond.

• Mention example races ("Mallorca 312," "local 100 km sportive with 2,000 m climbing"), your calendar notes, previous injuries, and even strength numbers (for example, "currently deadlifting 80 kg for 5 reps").
• Treat each prompt as part of an ongoing dialogue: refer back to earlier weeks, upcoming events, and how sessions have felt so the AI can connect the dots over time.

Think in smaller blocks#

It is usually more effective to plan and refine training in smaller blocks of 2 to 4 weeks rather than trying to lock in 12 months at once.

• If you are targeting a big sportive, make sure that event is already in your calendar with the correct date, distance, and priority, then ask the AI to build the next focused block that moves you closer to that goal.
• After each block, prompt the AI with feedback on how it went and let it adjust the next 2 to 4 weeks, so your path stays specific, realistic, and responsive to how you are actually progressing.
