Paste any plan
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Excel, PDF. We parse it into structured workouts.
Stopa takes any training plan, whether from ChatGPT, your coach’s Excel or a PDF, and puts the workouts on your watch. Apple Watch in one tap, plus Garmin, Suunto, COROS and more through intervals.icu. No retyping.
Free for 14 days, no card. iPhone and Apple Watch.
Problem
Maybe you ran it into a Notes doc. Maybe you screenshotted it. Maybe you printed it out and stuck it on the fridge. But every morning, you have to remember what session is on. The plan is good. The execution is a friction-loaded mess.
Solution
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Excel, PDF. We parse it into structured workouts.
Weekly and monthly view. Drag to reschedule. Inline edit any workout.
One tap sends a structured workout to Apple Watch via WorkoutKit. Garmin, Suunto and COROS follow through intervals.icu.
Reflect after each run. On Sundays the coach reviews your week and proposes changes — you apply or discard.
See your calendar
Weekly and monthly view. Edit any workout by hand — or just say it out loud and let the app write it down.
Phases, volume and rest days laid out the way you planned them, not buried in a chat thread. Two sessions on the same day sit side by side, AM and PM.
Every watch you own
Apple Watch is a one-tap push from the phone. Connect an intervals.icu account and the same plan carries on to Garmin, Suunto, COROS, Wahoo and Zwift.
One plan, whatever is on your wrist that morning. You set it up once.
Training diary
Stopa reads your past sessions from Apple Health, so your history is already there the day you install — not an empty log asking you to start again.
Week, month and year. Totals, active days, longest session, biggest month.
The record
Open any session and you get what your watch actually recorded: the route, per-kilometre splits, the elevation profile, heart-rate zones, power and cadence.
Not a summary of the session. The session.
Stories
Keep a stretch of training together — a weekend in the mountains, a training camp, a block you finished — with its sessions, your notes, your photos and every route, on the days they happened.
Share it as a card, or as a short film the app puts together.
Two front doors
Most people already have a plan. If you don’t yet, you don’t have to go find one — you can talk it out with a coach that already knows your training.
Have a plan?
From ChatGPT, Claude, your coach’s Excel or a PDF. We parse it into structured workouts, you review, it lands on your watch. This is the main door.
No plan yet?
Not a generic chatbot — a coach that reads your real volume, paces and history, then drafts a plan you approve line by line. It proposes; you stay the author.
How it works
01
Copy your plan from any LLM, open your coach’s Excel — or build one with the coach.
02
Paste or upload. We parse it. You review and confirm.
03
Each workout pushes to your watch automatically the night before — doubles arrive morning and afternoon, each at its own time.
Feedback loop
A plan is a hypothesis. The coach knows your training history and how last week actually felt, so the next week is built on what happened — not on guesswork. It proposes; you decide.
Each workout pushes to your watch. You run, ride or swim it for real.
Log how it went: an RPE, a note on how the legs felt. Thirty seconds, in the app.
The coach reads your week — real paces, HR, what you skipped — and talks it through with you.
It proposes changes as cards. Keep the ones you agree with, drop the rest. Nothing changes without you.
Prefer to run your own model or coach? Export your plan and real data any time — the blog shows you how.
Seven languages
English, Czech, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese — the app, the watch and the widgets. The plan reader speaks them too, so a Czech coach’s spreadsheet is read in Czech rather than translated first and losing what it meant.
Fuelling
Carbohydrate, fluid and sodium per hour for long sessions and race day, built as a ladder that climbs across the block. You rehearse it on long runs, tell Stopa how your stomach handled it, and the plan responds.
Training intake only — no meal plans, no calorie counting, and nothing about body weight.
Positioning
The coach here proposes; it never dictates. It reads your real volume, your real paces and how last week actually felt, then suggests a change — and every change is yours to apply or discard. The opposite of an opaque algorithm quietly ramping you into an injury. You stay the author of your training.
Founder pricing for early supporters: $49.99 a year, about one coffee a month, or $5.99 monthly.
How it compares
Runna writes the plan for you. TrainingPeaks is a platform with analytics we do not attempt. Stopa takes the plan you already have and gets it onto your watch.

Prices in USD. Their figures come from their own sites, dated on each page. We name what they do better because a comparison written by the seller is worth exactly as much as its least convenient sentence.
