MyTrainPal is a chat-centred AI coach that builds a plan for a goal event from base through build, peak and taper, and proposes changes for a busy week, short night or heavy legs; every change waits for the athlete's approval. It covers cycling, running, swimming and strength, including triathlon. A daily readiness score uses sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and training load, and completed structured workouts are compared planned versus actual. MTP Ride runs workouts on FTMS smart trainers in ERG mode with 3D routes. Data comes from Strava, Intervals.icu, Apple Health, Polar and others. Core features are free; MyTrainPal Plus adds a higher AI allowance.
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. apps.apple.com
