I mean of his training methodology. It’s called KoopAI. It’s in the early stages, looks rough, undesigned, a blast from the 1998 area of web design. Here’s what it’s trying to be:

Working directly with Koop, we’ve developed a mathematical model that captures his proven coaching methodology. This isn’t just another training app – it’s a sophisticated system that delivers personalized, adaptive training plans based on the same principles Koop uses with his athletes.

Genuinely curious who decided to ship a ‘sophisticated system’ looking like this. But to be fair, they acknowledge that ‘polish is missing’:

We’ve prioritized getting this core functionality right over polishing the UI/UX, which explains the current rough edges in the user experience. While we’ll certainly make the app more polished in the future, our primary focus now is perfecting the underlying training algorithm.

I’m generally down on AI products, so it’s easy for me to slam this. Paired with the name and the user interface it feels like a product that should not have shipped yet/never. But, hey, maybe I should give some points for trying? Ah, who am I kidding, “just because you could doesn’t mean you should”?

 At this stage, we can only accept runners who fit certain criteria.

So not that sophisticated of a system yet, I guess.
