Until recently, your IntervalCoach calendar showed the week in front of you in full detail, and the weeks after that as an outline. You could see where your training was heading, but the actual sessions only took shape as they got close.
That model is gone. Three changes ship together this week, and they add up to something we've wanted IntervalCoach to be from the start: a coach that plans like a coach.
Real workouts, weeks ahead
Your calendar now holds fully structured workouts for your entire planning horizon. Every interval, every target, every session name, built and synced to your calendar the moment your plan exists:
- Pro: four weeks of real workouts ahead
- Max: eight weeks ahead, your whole training block at once
- Free: the week in front of you
This matters for more than peace of mind. Structured workouts on your calendar sync onward to wherever you train: your head unit, Zwift, everywhere your Intervals.icu calendar reaches. Planning a training camp in week 5? On Max, those sessions are already on your device before you pack.
And these are not placeholder estimates that firm up later. What you see in week 4 is a real session: open it, preview the intervals, and know exactly what that Tuesday holds.
Add a workout, get a workout
The same change runs through everything you do by hand. When you add a training to your plan or calendar, IntervalCoach builds the real workout right away, ready to ride or run, with the workout type you picked respected. No placeholder, no waiting for a background fill.
Under the hood this replaced a whole layer of deferred generation. The practical result is simple: what's on your calendar is always real.
Your week now rebalances itself
The third piece is the one we're most excited about. Training plans meet reality, and reality wins: a spontaneous group ride, a workout you moved to Thursday, a session you deleted because work exploded.
IntervalCoach now reconciles your week in real time. Complete an unplanned ride and the remaining sessions ease back so the week stays within your target load. Move or delete a workout and the rest of the week adjusts around it. Hard days stay properly spaced, your weekly target stays intact, and today and everything you've already done are never touched.
You don't press anything. It happens when your calendar changes, the same way a coach would quietly redraw the rest of the week after you tell them what actually happened.
And it stays your call. If you'd rather manage your week yourself, switch off Automatic Week Rebalancing in Settings, right next to Weekly Plan and Daily Adaptation.
This builds on the daily layer you already know: readiness still adjusts today's session when the data calls for it. Reconcile extends that same thinking to the shape of your whole week.
What this looks like per plan
| Free | Pro | Max | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real workouts ahead | 1 week | 4 weeks | 8 weeks |
| Instant workout creation | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Real-time week rebalancing | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Daily readiness adaptation | ✓ | ✓ |
Existing calendars are untouched: nothing gets deleted, the new horizons simply apply as your plan rolls forward.
If you've been on the fence about Max, eight weeks of real, structured training on your calendar, through a full build and recovery cycle, is the strongest reason yet. You can compare plans on the pricing page.
As always: try it, break it, and tell us what feels off. This package touched the deepest part of how IntervalCoach plans, and the feedback from the first days is what makes it better.
