Where the paths split
Different scope, different priorities
Diorama connects triathlon training to the rest of your week.
Training and recovery together.
Training load sits next to sleep, recovery, habits, mood, and soreness. The plan can use that context when the week changes.
Clear metric names.
Your fitness, session stress, and readiness carry names you can understand without a glossary, and every number links to an explanation of what moves it.
Reasons shown with each change.
When Diorama changes a session, it names the relevant context, such as poor sleep, high recent load, or a missed key session.
Conditions-aware targets.
Heat, humidity, and altitude can adjust session targets while Diorama shows what changed.
Starts from your history.
With your permission, Diorama builds your starting fitness picture from your existing Apple Health workout history.
A baseline for every starting point.
Scores emphasize your own trend and establish a baseline when your history is still thin.
Other sports use the same history.
The same coaching engine supports runners, cyclists, swimmers, and strength athletes. If your season changes shape, your app doesn't have to change.
TriDot
TriDot has spent years focused on one sport and it shows: deep triathlon-specific optimization, race-specific preparation, and an ecosystem of human coaches who deliver their coaching through the platform.
Diorama
- Triathlon as a first-class module. Race-distance plans from Sprint to Ironman, brick sessions with transition coaching, limiter-aware emphasis, and sport-specific feedback after every swim, bike, and run.
- Training and recovery together. Training sits beside sleep, recovery, habits, mood, and soreness. The plan can use that context when the week changes.
- Clear metric names. Fitness, stress, and readiness use plain names, and every number links to the factors that move it.
- Reasons shown with each change. When a session changes, Diorama names the relevant context, such as poor sleep, high recent load, or a protected key session.
- Targets that respect the conditions. Heat, humidity, and altitude can adjust session targets, and Diorama shows what changed.
Choose by what matters to you.
Choose TriDot if you want a triathlon-only platform or a human coach delivering programs through the app. Choose Diorama if you want triathlon-grade training that also understands the rest of your health, metrics you can read without a glossary, an app that works when you are a beginner and still works when you podium, or when next season is a marathon instead of a 70.3.

I'm new to triathlon. Which is a better fit?
