When you are not, it changes and tells you why. TODAY FIRST Open the app and today comes first: your readiness, a coach's outlook and today's session. Next to readiness, a focus tile shows the one thing that matters most right now: a race this week, a health signal, the session you just finished, a load spike, or how your week is going.

IntervalCoach's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
