Coach Watts builds goal-driven training plans through a plan wizard (goal or event, training days, intensity strategy such as polarized or pyramidal, weekly volume) for cycling, running or triathlon. Each day it gives a proceed, modify or rest recommendation from recovery and load, and plans can be adjusted through an adaptation wizard or the chat, including shifting missed sessions and marking sick days with a return-to-training ramp. Structured workouts carry power, heart-rate or pace targets and can be exported as .fit or .zwo files or synced to Intervals.icu. It analyses completed workouts against target zones and estimates fuel availability with pre-, intra- and post-workout carbohydrate, fluid and sodium targets. Data comes from Intervals.icu, Strava, Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, Polar, Yazio and others. The code is open source; a free tier is available and Supporter and Pro are monthly subscriptions with a 14-day trial.
AI level: Conversational AI coach. An LLM-based coach the athlete talks to in free text; it can explain, negotiate and change the plan, usually on top of a model-driven or rule-based planner. coachwatts.com
