## What is Coach Fartlek?

Your coach reaches out first — after every workout, before key sessions, and when recovery matters. Coach Fartlek is a proactive AI running coach built for serious recreational runners. The coach gets to know you, plans your training, and checks in — just like a real coach would.

WHAT YOU GET

• Personal planning — A weekly schedule tailored to your goals, races, schedule, and how your body is responding right now.
• Proactive coaching — Messages after every workout, before key sessions, and when recovery should take priority.
• Smart recovery — Resting heart rate, HRV, and training load are combined so hard sessions land when you're ready.
• Race focus — From 5K and 10K to half marathon and marathon: clear mesocycles and peaking strategies toward race day.
• Training journal — Your full history in one place. The coach remembers what you've done and what works.

THREE LAYERS OF PLANNING

1. Macro — the full season toward your A-race.
2. Meso — four-week blocks with the right load curve.
3. Micro — this week's sessions, adjusted to your calendar and recovery.

SYNC YOUR WORKOUTS

Connect your Intervals.icu account and your activities sync automatically. The coach analyzes every workout — pace, heart rate, segments, intensity — and gives you feedback the same evening.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Coach Fartlek is for runners who train consistently, have goals that matter, and want a coach who actually understands both training and real life. Whether you're chasing a sub-3 marathon, your first half marathon, or a faster 10K.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.7.2 — 2026-08-15

Coach Fartlek 2.7: real strength sessions.

• Strength sessions with exercises, sets and reps, built around the equipment you tick under Profile
• A deep dive into a single workout when you want the full read
• Heart rate targets on your watch instead of pace, if you run by heart rate
• The calendar shows the workout type even on runs you did not plan

### 2.6.5 — 2026-08-12

New self coached mode: you make the plan, the coach reviews and suggests.

### 2.5.5 — 2026-08-09

There is now a calendar of upcoming races that both you and the coach can reach. The coach can suggest a race that fits your training, and under Races you can search by date and distance yourself. If a race is missing, paste the link to its own page and the app fills in the rest. On races you have already run you can record your placement.

The calendar holds Swedish races for now.

Pro and Elite can mark a question as important. A heavier model then answers it with more time to think.

### 2.4.5 — 2026-08-04

UI improvements and bug fixes.

### 2.3.4 — 2026-08-02

Weather and position data for improved planning and coaching.

Multiple minor UI fixes.
