Is YOUB a replacement for a human coach?

YOUB is not meant to replace every part of a human coaching relationship. It gives endurance athletes day-to-day coaching, plan adaptation and clear explanations, especially when personal coaching is too expensive, unavailable or too slow for daily changes.
