Designed for ADHD. Works for everyone.

You signed up. You meant it. So why does the training keep falling apart?

It's not a motivation problem. For people with ADHD, training plans fail for structural reasons that willpower was going to fix.

Loops is a daily coaching app for people with ADHD. It keeps the next session visible, takes the shame out of a missed one, and, if you want it, gives you one person who's in it with you all the way to the start line.

Free for 7 days. No complicated setup. On iOS for now.

How Loops helps

A daily system that survives the weeks you didn't.

Most training plans are built for someone with reliable self-regulation, consistent energy, and a linear relationship with motivation. That's not most people with ADHD.

Loops gives you specific, low-friction actions each day. It keeps the goal visible when it feels abstract, helps you restart after a bad week, and coaches you through the moments when the plan usually breaks down.

Then it adds the part most apps leave out. One person who sees you doing it. More on that just below.

); /* ---------------- Recognition (6 cards) ---------------- */ const TRN_RECOGNITION = [ "You spent hours building the perfect training plan. Then you missed Tuesday, and somehow that was the end of it.", "You know the goal matters to you. But by Wednesday, race day feels too far away to feel real.", "The easy sessions are the hardest. A recovery run at conversational pace feels almost impossible to complete without surging.", "One missed session becomes two. Two becomes a shame spiral. Before you know it, you're wondering whether to pull out.", "You had a brilliant first three weeks. Then something came up, the plan broke, and starting again from scratch felt unbearable.", "You know training helps your ADHD. You know you feel better when you do it. That doesn't make it any easier to stay consistent.", ]; const TrnRecognition = () => (
Does any of this sound familiar?

You're not alone in this.

These are the patterns people with ADHD describe most often when it comes to training for an event.

{TRN_RECOGNITION.map((t, i) => (

{t}

))}

None of this means you're not a runner, a cyclist, or an athlete. It means you need a system built for how your brain actually handles long goals.

); /* ---------------- Why it keeps happening (6 breakdown points) ---------------- */ const TRN_PATTERNS = [ { title: "Goal-to-plan collapse", body: "Race day is compelling. Tuesday's tempo run is not. ADHD brains discount future rewards steeply, which means the emotional pull of the finish line fades fast once daily training starts." }, { title: "Session initiation", body: "Knowing you have a run at 6pm and actually starting it are two different problems. Without a prompt that reaches you at the exact moment of action, good intentions get negotiated away on the sofa." }, { title: "Boredom in low-stimulation work", body: "Easy runs are hard. Not physically. Mentally. Long, steady efforts at a controlled pace ask the brain to stay engaged with low reward for a sustained period, which is exactly what ADHD makes unreliable." }, { title: "All-or-nothing relapse", body: "One missed session shouldn't end the block. For many people with ADHD, it does. Emotional dysregulation turns a skipped run into evidence of failure, and shame makes the next session harder to start, not easier." }, { title: "Impulsive overreach", body: "The training problem isn't always avoidance. Sometimes it's going too hard, too often. Boredom on easy days, compensatory surges after missed sessions, and obsessive plan-building can all destabilise a training block just as reliably as avoidance." }, { title: "Energy and timing mismatch", body: "A training plan designed for 6am doesn't work for a brain that isn't ready until noon. Sleep disturbance and delayed body clocks are common in ADHD and can quietly undermine morning session consistency throughout an entire training block." }, ]; const TrnWhyItHappens = () => (
Understanding the pattern

It's not a commitment problem. It's a structure problem.

Training blocks are hard for ADHD brains for specific, well-documented reasons. None of them are about how much you want it.

  1. {String(i + 1).padStart(2, "0")}

Loops is built around all six of these failure points, not just the most obvious one.

); /* ---------------- Overreach reframe (unique to this page) ---------------- */ const TrnOverreach = () => (
Something worth knowing before you try again

Not every ADHD training failure looks like giving up.

Most advice for ADHD and exercise assumes the problem is avoidance: not starting, not showing up, not trying. But a significant number of people with ADHD fail their training blocks in the opposite direction.

They turn easy runs into efforts. They build elaborate plans and then can't sustain the ordinary version. They compensate for a missed session with something so ambitious it breaks the next week too. If you recognise that pattern, it's worth naming: the problem wasn't a lack of commitment. It was a system that couldn't protect you from your own enthusiasm on the wrong days.

); /* ---------------- The part most apps miss (being seen) ---------------- */ const TRN_WITNESS_CARDS = [ { t: "All they have to do is see it", b: "When you close a loop, they see it. When you get back to it after a missed week, they see that too, and it's no big deal. They just get to watch you keep showing up, all the way to the start line." }, { t: "They don't manage you", b: "They don't nag or remind you. They don't check your splits or tell you what to do. And they don't even need to pay. Their side is light on purpose." }, { t: "You're always in control", b: "You choose who it is. You decide what they can see, and you can change it any time." }, { t: "They keep the finish real", b: "When race day still feels far away, one person who's in it with you is what keeps it feeling real." }, ]; const TrnWhyLoopsWorks = () => (
The part most apps miss

Brains finish for people, not for apps.

A training block is weeks of ordinary sessions for a day that still feels unreal. When race day is abstract and Tuesday's run is not, it's easy to let a session slide, and easy to let one slide become the end of the block.

So Loops adds the one thing that reliably keeps ADHD brains going. Another person.

You choose one person you trust. Your partner, a friend, someone you're training alongside, whoever it is. When you close a loop, they see it. When you get back to it after a missed week, they see that too, and it's no big deal. You decide what they can see, and you can change it any time.

This is the step most people skip with other apps. It's also the one that makes Loops work.

You can start on your own if you'd rather. It still works. It just works better when someone can see you.

No complicated onboarding. No rebuilding a plan you've already got." }, { t: "Choose your person", b: "Pick one person you trust to see your progress. You decide what they can see, and you can change it any time. This is the step most people skip with other apps, and the one that makes Loops work. On a Crew plan you can choose more than one, which suits a group training for the same event." }, { t: "Get small daily actions", b: "Each day, Loops gives you specific, low-friction prompts. It fits around your training plan and shows up when initiation is hardest. Close the loop, and your person sees it." }, { t: "Get coaching through the hard moments", b: "Missed a session? Hit a wall mid-block? Loops gives you a clear, practical next step, not a reset that makes you feel further behind." }, { t: "Arrive at the start line", b: "A training block with Loops isn't about a perfect log. It's about staying in it long enough to get there." }, ]; const TrnHowItWorks = () => (

It combines personalised coaching, daily micro-actions, one person who sees your progress, and accountability in one system. For training specifically, it helps with session initiation, consistency through a block, and recovery after missed sessions." }, { q: "Who is 'your person', and do I need one?", a: "Your person is the one you choose to see your progress. When you close a loop or get back on after a missed week, they see it. They don't manage you or nag you. They just get to watch you keep showing up, all the way to the start line. You don't have to add one to start, but it's the part that makes Loops work, so we'll gently encourage it when you're ready. On a Crew plan it can be more than one: your people." }, { q: "How does Loops help with training if you have ADHD?", a: "It gives you one low-friction prompt each day rather than leaving you to manage the plan alone. It also coaches you through the moments when training usually breaks down: the missed session, the bored easy run, the week where everything fell apart." }, { q: "Why do people with ADHD struggle to follow training plans?", a: "The barriers are structural. Distant race-day rewards are hard for ADHD brains to use as day-to-day motivation. Session initiation is an executive function challenge. Boredom in low-stimulation training is a real problem. And one missed session can trigger shame that ends the whole block. None of this is about how much someone wants it." }, { q: "Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to use Loops?", a: "No. Loops is designed first for people with ADHD but doesn't require a formal diagnosis. If the experiences described here feel familiar, Loops is built for you." }, { q: "Can Loops replace a training plan or coach?", a: "No. Loops works alongside your training plan, not instead of it. It helps with the consistency and coaching layer, not the physiological design of your programme. A coach or structured plan is still a good idea if you have access to one." }, { q: "What if I miss several sessions in a row?", a: "That's built into the design. Loops doesn't treat a missed week as a failure state. The next daily action is still there, and it's still designed to be the smallest useful step." }, { q: "Is Loops available in the UK?", a: "Yes. Loops is available across the UK and is designed around UK contexts and guidance." }, { q: "What kind of events can I use Loops to train for?", a: "Loops is designed around any goal with a timeline: running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, team events, gym-based targets.
