Using Prompts

Stride AI works best when you treat it as an ongoing conversation about your training, not a one-off command. The more you share about your goals, calendar and history, the more useful its answers.

Creating a plan#

Tell Stride AI exactly what you are working towards and what your life looks like.

• Include your goal events, their dates, type, distance and priority (for example, "Mallorca 312 as my A race, plus a local sportive six weeks before").
• Add constraints such as the days you can train, your preferred long-ride day, gym access and typical weekly hours, so the plan fits your life rather than an ideal one.

Re-planning when things change#

Ask the AI to adjust your plan whenever life or fitness shifts.

• Ask it to re-plan a block if you miss key sessions, get ill, or add or drop an event, so it can rebuild your progression safely.
• Ask for specific changes too, such as "lighten this week but keep Sunday's long ride" or "move tomorrow's intervals later in the week, I'm travelling".

Asking for advice#

Stride AI is also a coach-style sounding board, not just a scheduler.

• Ask about pacing, fuelling, tapering or balancing strength with riding, and mention your actual events and recent training.
• You do not need to paste in numbers Stride already has. Your activities, wellness data and strength results are already there for the AI to read. Tell it what Stride cannot see, such as how a session felt or a niggle you are carrying.

Be specific and conversational#

• Mention real events ("Mallorca 312", "a local 100 km sportive with 2,000 m of climbing"), calendar notes and previous injuries.
• Treat each prompt as part of a longer conversation: refer back to earlier weeks, upcoming events and how sessions have felt, so the AI can connect the dots.
• One message can be up to 10,000 characters. Split very long notes into a few messages.

Agree the approach, then plan in blocks#

For a season goal, start by asking the AI to work out the overall approach: the phases, what each one is for and when to review progress. It saves this to its memory, so later conversations pick it up without you repeating it.

Then ask for the next two to four weeks at a time. After each block, tell it how it went and let it adjust the next one. That keeps the plan realistic and responsive to how you are actually progressing.

If you are targeting an event, make sure it is on your calendar with the right date and priority first.
