The Ambassador Program: Bring IntervalCoach to Your Club

IntervalCoach now has an ambassador program for athletes who bring it to a club, team or training group. Free Max, the club AI digest, a story on the blog, and a direct line to the founder. No follower threshold, and every application is reviewed individually.

Individual recovery curves, now fitted from every morning

IntervalCoach now estimates each athlete's recovery curve from their full history of overnight measurements, around a hundred mornings rather than the four or five the previous estimator could use, by modelling how the effects of consecutive sessions overlap. Depth is individually fitted for every athlete, the recovery rate for those whose data supports one, and the model is validated against mornings it has not seen.

How Running Power Works in IntervalCoach

Pace lies on hills and in wind. Power does not. Here is how IntervalCoach uses Stryd and Garmin running power: where the reference number comes from, how workout targets are built from it, how your running power trend is tracked, and why running fatigue is judged on a different scale than cycling.

Spotlight: Mattia, Four Weeks to Varese After a Summer That Kept Interrupting

An Italian rider whose July held the two biggest rides of his year, whose August came apart, and who has spent the last three weeks rebuilding for the Gran Fondo Tre Valli Varesine on 4 October.

Spotlight: @yinuo-chen, Five Months Flat, Then Everything Moved

A Chinese rider chasing 4 W/kg whose estimated FTP sat still from March to August, and then jumped 27 watts in a fortnight. What changed was not the training. It was what the training finally asked of him.

The Coach Plan: run a whole squad without losing the athlete

IntervalCoach now works for the person behind the athletes. One roster that sorts itself by who needs you, a Monday briefing in your inbox, approvals for the whole squad in one list, and analytics that read the group honestly. Each seat covers an athlete's full subscription, so your athletes pay nothing themselves.

Spotlight: @jruddy, a 75 km Ultra Built on a Turbo Trainer

A UK multi-sport athlete heading into a 75 km trail ultra, with a build that ran through a holiday, an illness and a 35 km race rehearsal, and much of its horsepower made on a turbo trainer.

Spotlight: @cichykot, the runner who lives just under threshold

A Polish runner with a 43:56 10k in June, three sub-threshold sessions a week, and a breathing sensor setting the pace. Six weeks out from his goal race, the build is stepping up.

August Update: Your Watch, Race Pages That Plan, and Rules That Stick

IntervalCoach is now on the Apple Watch. Every race page shows the demands, the finish window and the full phase timeline before you commit. You can swap or move a session from your phone. And what you write in your coaching instructions is now a rule the planner cannot overrule.

The Button That Changes Tomorrow's Workout

Every post-workout email asks how the session felt. That rating decides which workout types the coach avoids this week, and it can hold you back from a harder training phase. Here is what it does with the number, and how to give it a good one.

Spotlight: Alfred, the 1:28 half marathon built on a bike commute

A year ago, Alfred had no structured endurance background to speak of. Last Saturday he ran the Tavelsjö Halvmarathon in 1:28:00, on barely 25 kilometres of running a week. The engine came from somewhere else: a bike commute of almost 28 kilometres each way.

Spotlight: JiMaocc Asked for Her Weak Spots, and the Power Curve Answered

She told the coach to read her power curve, find what was missing, and make her more complete. Then she moved continents, lost her trainer, and the flat part of that curve kept going up anyway.

July Update: Readiness Rebuilt, a Race Catalog, and Fitbit Support

Your readiness score is now a pure measure of how recovered you are, with every factor shown. There is a browsable catalog of real races you can adopt as your goal in one step. Google Health brings Fitbit and Pixel Watch in. Plus triathlon goals, running power, an indoor and outdoor preference, and your training inside Claude or ChatGPT.

Bring Your Training Into Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor

You can now connect IntervalCoach to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. The assistant reads the things only our engine knows, your personal recovery curves, your readiness measured against your own baseline, your adaptation signals, and combines them with the other tools already in your workflow: your calendar, Slack, email. It's built on MCP, the open standard, and it's available on the Max plan.

Your Readiness Score Grew Up

Readiness Score 2.0 is built on your feedback: the score now measures purely how recovered your body is, anchors once your morning data is in, and treats how you feel as a full factor. Training advice gets its own place, so a rest day reads like what it is.

IntervalCoach is now on Android. Your activity view charts the whole session with a per-ride power curve and durability. Clubs let you train with the people you ride and run with.

Can you see illness coming? What the overnight data shows

The second read from our recovery data. In the days before a sick day your resting heart rate creeps up and your HRV sags, and resting heart rate is the earliest reliable sign of all. This is IntervalCoach at its best: proven textbook markers, sharpened by the signals our own athletes give us, so your coach can see an infection coming a little sooner and pace your comeback by your body, not the calendar.

Do fitter athletes recover faster? What our recovery curves show

This is not a one-off discovery. It is the platform doing its job: because IntervalCoach learns a recovery curve for every athlete, we can ask questions across thousands of them, and the answers flow straight back into the product. The first one surprised me. Fitness changes how hard a session hits you, not how fast you clear it.

One system that learns how you recover, and shows its work

Two questions decide most training days: am I recovered enough to go hard, and if not, when will I be? IntervalCoach now answers both from your own recovery, not a population average, and shows you exactly how it got there.

Tired, or getting sick? IntervalCoach now catches it before you feel it

Your HRV tanks the same way whether you smashed yesterday's intervals or you're coming down with something. That ambiguity is exactly the wrong thing to guess at. Here is how IntervalCoach now reads the signals that training cannot fake.

Spotlight: Marsl and the Seven-Hour Saturday

A German rider with a CTL in the low 80s, a self-set 350-watt FTP target, and a 200 km radmarathon he just rode in seven hours and seventeen minutes. The shape of a block that earned its race day.

Coming Back From Illness Without Blowing Yourself Up

Race Pace Plans: A Coach For The Day Itself

All the training in the world doesn't matter if you go out too hard and blow up at 60%. Race Pace Plans give you a specific, goal-aware pacing strategy, a warm-up protocol, and an honest read on the day — a full plan for your A and B races, and a lighter version for C events.

Introducing Clubs: Train Together on IntervalCoach

The hardest part of training isn't the workout — it's showing up, week after week. Clubs bring the people you ride and run with into IntervalCoach, so your friends keep you honest while the coach keeps each of you on your own plan: a shared feed, fair leaderboards, a weekly AI read on the group, and shared events.

What to Train For When You're Not Racing

Not everyone trains for a race. IntervalCoach supports nine non-race goal templates, each with its own duration, ramp rate, and phase model, so the plan still makes sense when there is no start line to count down to.

HRV-CV: What Volatility Tells You That HRV Alone Does Not

How IntervalCoach Adapts Your Workout Every Day

Your weekly plan sets the direction. A pipeline checks whether today's workout still makes sense, and reshapes it when it does not: from a full rest day to a longer warm-up for sore legs or a breathing cooldown for a rough night. It runs every morning, and again whenever new data lands during the day.
