Hey, I'm the Person Behind This Silliness

Who Am I?

My name is Thomas. I'm a runner, developer, and someone who got a bit tired of taking screenshots after every workout and uploading them to an AI tool to make the analysis. All I got back was dry analysis about my pace, heart rate zones, and VO2 max trends. Useful? Sure. Fun? Absolutely not.

The Spark of Inspiration

One day, after yet another "your pace has increased by 2%" analysis, I thought: Where's the personality? Where's the humor?

So that's when I started building this as a fun Proof-of-Concept for myself. Can I access my Strava activities and have AI analyze them in such a way that they are fun? At first not very much, but then I added the coach aspect.

I caught myself looking forward to the results during my runs and I started wondering which next coach would perform the analysis.

Why the Pricing?

Here's the truth: I'm not trying to build the next unicorn startup. I have a day job. I built this because I wanted it to exist.

My only goal is to bring some fun and laughter to fellow runners. If Runners' Roleplay makes enough to cover the server costs and AI API fees, that's a win. The pricing is intentionally simple—just enough to keep the service running and maybe buy me a coffee now and then.

So that's what this is: it is just a side project that got a bit out of hand. I hope it brings value to people who love running (or at least love laughing about it).
