    what's your coaching like for a first 50k?

    love a first 50k. custom weekly plan around your terrain, vert, and schedule, plus check-ins after key long runs. what's your weekly mileage right now?

    I keep getting injured every time I build mileage

    that cycle usually means the build is too steep, not that you're fragile. want me to look at your last few weeks? quick call and I'll tell you what I see.

Why do running coaches run SetLuca?

  1. It asks the runner questions

    Weekly mileage, goal race, current PR: SetLuca opens with the questions you'd open with, because it learned them from you. Leads feel coached from the first reply.

  2. Race-season DMs, handled

    Marathon-block leads arrive in waves, after every big race weekend. SetLuca absorbs the spike, sorts the serious runners from the curious, and your calendar fills without your Sunday disappearing.

  3. Follow-ups that land at the right time

    A runner who ghosts in week one of their training block is still your client in week three. SetLuca circles back the way you write, days later, right when the plan they downloaded stops working.

Questions

What running coaches ask us.

If something here isn't covered, book a demo and we'll show you live.

Race weekend is when my DMs spike. Can SetLuca handle thirty messages before I'm back from a course?

Yes. Every DM gets a reply in under a minute, spike or not, and your queue sorts the serious inquiries to the top for when you're off your feet. Each reply is written the way you write and checked by a critic for made-up prices or availability before it sends, so a busy weekend doesn't mean sloppy answers.

A runner asks if their nagging knee pain is something to push through. Does SetLuca answer that?

No. Anything that sounds like an injury question gets left for you. SetLuca sticks to training, mileage, and race planning, not medical calls. Messages with medical red flags are flagged urgent and pinned to the top of your queue, even on a channel set to auto-send, so you can answer them yourself.

Will it recommend a mileage jump that's too aggressive for someone new?

No. SetLuca replies to DMs, it doesn't build training plans. It can talk mileage and blocks the way you do in a DM, but any real plan or number still comes from you. When a runner wants a plan, it qualifies them and books the call, so the programming conversation happens with you.

My leads are on Instagram, some text me on WhatsApp. Do I check two apps?

For Instagram, no. Telegram, Instagram, and Messenger are live in SetLuca and share one inbox, and replies stay in the channel the runner wrote on, so nobody has to switch apps. WhatsApp is coming soon, so the texts you get there stay with you until it is.

Do I need to write out my running vocabulary somewhere for SetLuca to learn it?

No. Paste sample replies with your terms for splits, vert, and blocks, and SetLuca uses them to build an editable writing-style profile. On Instagram and Messenger it also reads your recent replies once when you connect. From there it learns from every edit you make, so the same miss rarely repeats.
