Prova Endurance is a coaching back end that connects to an AI app the athlete already uses (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Le Chat) through MCP. The AI app holds the conversation and writes the plan; the Prova server stores training history and thresholds, describes each activity by time in intensity domains, and checks plans against training rules with cited research. Plan changes are proposals the athlete accepts or declines; once a plan is running, each next week is filled in automatically and emailed. Activities come from intervals.icu, a Garmin Connect export or FIT/GPX files; sessions go to the intervals.icu calendar or download as .fit files. Plans cover cycling, running, swimming, rowing and strength. The service is free; the athlete's own AI app account does the reasoning.
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. provaendurance.com
