RestOrTrain is a chat-based coach that plans a season and builds each workout for cycling, running, swimming or triathlon, plus gym sessions with exercises and sets. Training load, FTP, fitness and fatigue are calculated without AI before the language model uses them. It adapts the plan when the athlete reports a missed session, work trip or moved race, with the athlete's approval, and uses sleep, HRV and resting heart rate when advising whether to train. Workouts are sent to Garmin, COROS, Wahoo, Hammerhead, Apple Watch, Zwift, Rouvy and Intervals.icu, and a free indoor player controls FTMS smart trainers in ERG mode. Apps run on iPhone, iPad and Android; there is no web version. A few questions a month are free; Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription with regional pricing.
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. restortrain.com
