Anyone can hand you a training plan. The hard part is this week — the one where you slept badly, a gym session ran long and your long run is suddenly in doubt. AstraIQ is built for that week. AstraIQ is a performance training platform for multisport and endurance athletes. Its Week Orchestrator reads your recent training, readiness and recovery, builds one coherent week across every sport you do, and reshapes it as your week actually unfolds. One plan, all your sports, always current. THE WEEK ORCHESTRATOR — Reads your recent training, sleep, readiness and recovery before planning a single session — Builds one coordinated week across every sport you do, balanced for load and recovery — Reshapes the week when you miss a session, sleep badly or add something unplanned — Explains its choices, so you always know why a session is on your schedule BUILT FOR ATHLETES WHO DO MORE THAN ONE THING — Hyrox and hybrid athletes — Runners — 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and ultramarathon — Strength and conditioning — Triathletes — running, cycling and swimming planned as one week — Anyone juggling running and the gym in the same week ALSO IN THE PLATFORM — Training plans for every sport — build a plan for a race, an event or a season, in any of your sports — Bring your own plan — import a plan you already follow and AstraIQ will analyse it, structure it and keep it adaptive — AI Coach — ask anything about your training, nutrition, recovery or numbers and get an answer grounded in your own data — Nutrition — log your fuelling alongside training, so eating and training line up — Weight and body composition — set a goal and track progress, whether you're losing fat, building muscle or holding steady GO DEEP WITH INSIGHTS For athletes who want the detail, Insights breaks every metric down on its own — nutrition, recovery, sleep, weight and body composition, strength and running. Trends, history and the numbers behind your training, so you see not just a score but the why underneath it. CONNECTS YOUR DATA AstraIQ works with the gear you already own: — Apple Health (iOS) — Samsung Health and Health Connect (Android) — Oura for recovery and readiness Garmin, Coros, Fitbit and most watches sync in through Apple Health or Health Connect — connect once and your training flows in automatically, no manual logging. SUBSCRIPTION The full Week Orchestrator, AI Coach and Insights are included with an AstraIQ subscription. Cancel anytime. AstraIQ is for people who take training seriously: Hyrox competitors, runners chasing a PB, triathletes, and hybrid athletes who refuse to choose between endurance and strength. If that's you, this is the platform that finally understands your whole week.
