What AI Endurance Is About
AI Endurance exists because modern endurance training is a data problem, and we are scientists. We build machine learning around sport science, run the field studies ourselves, and put the results directly into the product. Our goal is to break the mold of "one size fits all" training plans: training that is responsive, individualized, predictive, and easy to follow, for athletes of every level.
Our Research
We are active in sport science, not just consumers of it. Together with collaborators in exercise physiology we published a peer-reviewed study in Sensors (2024) showing that cycling power and DFA alpha 1 heart rate variability from everyday workout data can estimate intensity zones: the science behind our no-test threshold detection. Our current field research quantifies durability, how heart rate, respiration frequency and DFA alpha 1 drift during prolonged exercise, measured from real-world training data. It is the foundation of the durability features in the product. We break down the science, and how to train with it, on our blog.
Markus Rummel
Hi, I'm Markus - the founder of AI Endurance and a passionate triathlete (2:06 Olympic distance, 4:34 Half-Ironman), runner and cyclist myself. I'm also a particle physicist, who worked at world leading institutions such as University of Oxford. Ever since I started working with machine learning methods in my physics research, I've been wondering how to leverage these methods to come up with a more data-driven, more predictive and optimized training routine. This is what AI Endurance is about: utilizing the great potential of machine learning and the big data we are collecting everyday in our training to address the challenge of selecting the 'right' training for every athlete with their very individual response to training.
Chris St. Jean
Hey! I'm Chris, co-founder of AI Endurance and ultramarathon runner. I'm based in Colorado Springs, CO, with the beautiful Rocky Mountains as my playground. I specialize in 100-mile trail events, but the farthest I've done is 250 miles. I joined AI Endurance to bring my passion for running and my experience in software engineering together. My expertise is in building beautiful UI's, easy-to-use dashboards, and letting you - our users - have the best time possible using our platform. What I want more than anything is for people to have better access to our beautiful world of endurance sports, because it has so profoundly changed my life for the better. I'm excited to be a part of the AI Endurance team and to help you reach your goals!
