# Ruvo

> Ruvo is a training and recovery coach for self-coached endurance athletes who train with a Garmin watch. Each morning it reads the athlete's own Garmin data and gives one honest call: what to run today, and why, with the evidence behind it. It is a web app in closed alpha: invite-only, and free while in alpha.

Ruvo was built under the working name Body Compass, which is why some of its addresses and code still carry that name.

Key facts:

- Who it is for: endurance athletes who coach themselves, train in blocks toward a goal race, and want a clear daily decision (push, hold, or recover) instead of a wall of numbers.
- Data source: Garmin Connect only. The athlete connects their own Garmin account. No other watch brand or service is supported.
- The daily read: a Recovery Index (how recovered you are today, against your own history, with a verdict of Fresh, Steady or Low), today's session, and a short note from the coach on why.
- The coach: a chat coach that answers from the athlete's own data, shows what it checked, remembers what it is told, and adapts around injuries. It is a coach, not a doctor or a dietitian.
- Every sport counts toward training load. Prescribed sessions and pace analytics are for running.
- Access: closed alpha. Join the waitlist on the home page; invites go out in small batches.
- Privacy: the Garmin password is used once and never stored; only an encrypted token is kept. Data is never sold, there are no ads or third-party trackers, and deleting the account removes the athlete's training, health, profile and coach data immediately.
- The interactive app needs JavaScript. These text files, and the text in the home page's HTML, do not.
