Your cycle affects how you feel more than your raw performance.
Lura takes that seriously, without overpromising.
How it works
Lura connects your cycle to your training and learns from every run.
A loop that keeps getting better
Tell us your cycle
Say what phase you're in. Lura recognizes it: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory or luteal.
Get the right workout
Volume and intensity tuned to your phase and level. No generic spreadsheet.
Tell us how it went
Effort, pain, how you felt. Takes ten seconds after your run.
The plan adjusts
Every run teaches something. The next weeks change with you.
Your body changes every day of your cycle. Now your training does too.
Lura reads your phase and tunes the stimulus. Eases off during your period, pushes harder in the follicular phase.
Menstrual
Days 1-5Lower energy is normal here. Lura favors lighter sessions and doesn't push for records.
Follicular
Days 6-13Energy tends to run high. Lura uses it to push the training.
Ovulatory
Days 14-16An energy peak for many. A good window for quality sessions, with extra care for your joints.
Luteal
Days 17-28PMS may show up. The focus shifts to consistency, not records.
Before
Your week arrives ready. And it shifts when you do.
Lura looks at your cycle, your history and the time you actually have. Out comes the workout of the day, at the right distance for this moment.
Cycle periodization
Workouts built for each phase. Not one spreadsheet for the whole month.
Steady evolution
The plan grows with you, always within what's safe for your level.
During
Out on the road, only what matters is on screen.
The screen shows what matters: distance, pace and heart rate front and center, the map underneath, the right zone always in view. With an Apple Watch your heartbeat arrives live; without one, GPS handles it alone.
HR zones + Apple Watch
Live heart rate and Z1 to Z5 zones with Apple Watch. No watch? GPS handles it alone.
Just your phone is enough
Distance, pace, elevation and route from GPS. No wearable required.
After
You say how it went. The plan listens.
At the end of every run, Lura asks how it went. That's what shapes the next week, no scoreboard, with your data always yours.
Self-regulation
Felt pain or high effort? Your next workout adjusts on its own.
Privacy at the core
Your cycle and training data, under your control.
Running apps ignore your cycle. Cycle apps ignore your training.
Generic running apps
The same workout no matter the day of your cycle, as if your body never changed.
Typical cycle apps
They track your period, but do nothing with it for your training.
Crosses your cycle, training and how you feel. The plan evolves with you.
Train in the right zone. No guessing.
Live heart rate and Z1 to Z5 zones with Apple Watch. No watch? Your phone's GPS has you covered.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a watch or wearable?
No. Lura works with just your phone: distance, pace and route come from GPS. With an Apple Watch, you also get live heart rate and zones, but it's optional.
Does it work if my cycle is irregular or I'm on birth control?
Yes. Lura doesn't assume a textbook cycle. It adapts to irregular cycles and, more importantly, to how you feel, so it works even when your hormones don't follow the classic pattern.
Is there an Android version?
Lura is available for iPhone on the App Store. Android is on our radar for the future.
Does Lura use Apple Health?
Yes. Lura integrates with Apple Health to read and write your workouts, always with your permission. You decide what to share.
Does Lura promise to improve my times?
No. Your cycle affects your effort, symptoms and injury risk more than your raw times. Lura uses that for smarter, more sustainable training, not to sell an empty promise.
