I’ve been getting coached by an AI via the Athletica platform, and as much as it pains me to admit it, my AI coach is really good. 

TL:DR. If you’re a keen data geek interested in training and tech, try AI coaching for your next race. At $99 for six months, what have you got to lose? If you’re more of the “I’ve got no idea what I’m doing, I just need someone to tell me what to do” type, then I’d say buy an off-the-shelf plan or get 1:1 coaching if you can afford it. 

Regarding Athletica specifically, the lack of an app, running power, and some integration features leaves the user with much to do compared to the likes of TrainingPeaks or even the old-school ‘print off your plan’, but being able to mentally offload the stress of thinking about what training you need to do is massively uplifting.
