PacePartner reads the Intervals.icu calendar, CTL/ATL, HRV and recovery data and sends a morning briefing with the day's prescription to Telegram. It generates structured workouts with zone targets that sync to the Intervals.icu calendar, builds a build, peak and taper plan around A, B and C races from the Intervals.icu event calendar, and scales intensity when the fitness-to-fatigue ratio rises. Athletes can ask the coach questions via Telegram or a web interface. It is aimed at self-coached runners and cyclists. Pricing is a monthly or yearly subscription in two tiers with a 7-day free 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. pacepartner.app
