Your training, adjusted to how you actually recovered. IntervalCoach is an AI training coach for cyclists, runners, triathletes, trail runners and Hyrox athletes. It reads 60+ recovery signals, including HRV, sleep, sleep debt, training load and how you feel, and adjusts today's session when the data calls for it. When you are ready, the plan stands. 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.

If someone may be in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. Free, made with care, and built for adults.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChillMate at none against IntervalCoach's 4. IntervalCoach's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
