IntervalCoach builds a periodized plan (base, build, peak, taper on real dates, under one of five periodization models) toward a race or training goal, and writes structured workouts up to eight weeks ahead to the Intervals.icu calendar, from where they sync to Garmin, Wahoo, Zwift and Apple Watch. Before each session it checks recovery and load signals (HRV, sleep, resting heart rate, CTL/ATL/TSB, RPE) and confirms, reduces or replaces the workout, with a stated reason. Illness can be logged, after which hard sessions return step by step. Coach+ is a chat coach that can move or rewrite sessions. Race Recon reads a GPX course and plans race-day pacing and carbohydrate and fluid targets per segment. It covers cycling, running, trail running, swimming, triathlon, strength, HYROX, walking and hiking in one plan. A free plan is available; Pro and Max are monthly subscriptions, with a 14-day Pro 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. intervalcoach.app
