Open source · EU-hosted · AGPLv3 — endurance training without the lock-in.
The ethical European alternative to TrainingPeaks and Strava.
Open-source endurance training platform. Your data stays in the EU, your algorithms are auditable, your training is yours. Built by an ultra-trail runner in Grenoble.
Hidden trade-offs
Your training data deserves better than a US data silo
Vendor lock-in.
Your years of training history live inside a black box you can't audit, export fully, or move.
Opaque algorithms.
TSS, CTL, fitness scores — you have no idea how they're calculated or whether they fit your sport.
Data sovereignty.
Your most intimate biometric data is processed and stored under non-EU jurisdiction.
An honest, open-source training platform
Open and auditable.
All code under AGPLv3 on GitHub. The training load formulas live in the source, you can read them, propose changes, or fork the project.
EU-first, GDPR-native.
Built in Grenoble, hosted in France. Your data never leaves the European Union.
Your data, your choice.

Grounded in sport science, transparent in implementation
OpenAthlete uses well-established training load metrics from sport science literature — including CTL, ATL, TSB, and TSS — so you can reason about fitness, fatigue, and form in a familiar way. The formulas are implemented in the source code and documented alongside the product.
AI features are helpers: they can generate session structure from a prompt and surface fatigue-related signals from your data. They do not replace a coach's judgment and do not guarantee injury prevention. We don't claim AI prevents injuries. We claim it helps you see what your data is already telling you.
