Quick update on this, plus the prompts that seem to be what people actually use it for.
What’s changed since I posted
- Trainer and ERG rides now get interval analysis. A Zwift or TrainerRoad session that syncs as one long block with no intervals recorded used to be unanalysable. IntervalSync now finds the efforts in the power trace itself and reports each one’s duration, power, HR, cadence, and how much you drifted across it.
- The free tier is more usable. It’s one pull per tool per day rather than one in total, so a background calendar refresh no longer eats the question you actually wanted to ask.
- Planned workouts can be created, edited, and deleted from the conversation. Every write is confirmation-gated — you see the exact change before it happens, and nothing else on the workout is touched.
- Your planned workouts can be subscribed to in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook.
Three prompts worth stealing
Trainer ride that came in as one block:
Analyse [activity]. It synced from a trainer app as a single interval — find the actual efforts in the power trace and give me each rep’s duration, average power, HR, cadence, and drift.
Did I actually hit the workout:
For [activity], compare each work interval against its target. Show the repeat group summary first, then call out any repetition that materially missed power, HR, cadence, or duration. Separate facts from interpretation.
Block vs the same block last year:
Compare 1 Jun–31 Aug this year with the same dates last year. Contrast total duration, sessions, load, intensity distribution, and fitness trend. Say what is clearly better, worse, or simply different, and cite the data windows you used.
The one habit that makes all of these better: ask it to name the dates and activities it used, and to say what the data cannot prove. It will otherwise give you a verdict where the data only supports a description.
What it isn’t
It’s not a coach and it’s not medical advice. It can be confidently wrong, which is why the “cite your dates” habit matters. It reads what’s already in your Intervals.icu account — it doesn’t replace your own read of it.
One setup note
Claude and Grok work on any paid plan. ChatGPT needs a paid plan and the web app — custom connectors aren’t available on a free ChatGPT account. Worth knowing before you spend ten minutes on it.
A real ask
You can now report a problem from inside the conversation — just tell your assistant to send feedback about whatever IntervalSync got wrong, and it reaches me directly with a reply you can read back. Works on every plan, including a free account that’s used its pulls for the day. If something returns a wrong number or a confusing answer, that’s the fastest way to get it in front of me.
