Week of June 6

You can now log time off without leaving IntervalCoach. The "+ Add" menu on the calendar and training plan has Sick, Injured and Holiday alongside Workout and Race — pick a date range, say whether you're fully out or just limited, and the coach eases off or pauses training for those days, then ramps you back up gradually once you're past it. No more hopping over to Intervals.icu to block out a sick week or a holiday.

There's a new way to shape how you train, too. In Settings → Training you can pick a training methodology: Norwegian Singles turns your quality days into controlled sub-threshold work (the "golden zone" just below threshold) instead of all-out VO2max, Norwegian Doubles adds a second short sub-threshold session on your two-a-day days to build threshold volume with less strain, and the Easy Interval Method keeps everything aerobic with frequent short, moderate efforts that never go truly hard. Recovery and taper weeks stay easy whichever you choose.

Your weekly plan can also start adapting itself (beta). Turn on "Self-adjusting weekly plan" in Settings → Beta, and when you add, move, or delete a workout the week rebalances around your change — staying within about 10% of your weekly load target and keeping hard days well spaced, without ever touching today or sessions you've already done. Your own change always comes first.

On the blog, I wrote up Race Pace Plans: A Coach For The Day Itself — a goal-aware pacing strategy, a warm-up protocol, and an honest read on race morning for your A and B events, with a lighter version for C races.

Clubs had a busy week: leaderboards can now span 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or a year instead of only the trailing week, the Clubs area opens with an at-a-glance Overview tab, any member can add club events and edit the ones they created, you'll get a push when a club adds or changes an event, and you can make a club discoverable so others join without an invite code.

The coaching got sharper, too. When the coach caps your intensity for a rough recovery day, your interval targets are now actually lowered to match (VO2max and anaerobic sessions trim volume instead, to protect the hard stimulus), and running workouts honour the cap as well. Your weekly plan now leans into the workout types you prefer and away from the ones you don't, TrainNow can build a session to a target TSS, and a new "Coach picks the duration" mode treats your set time as a ceiling and finds the most effective (often shorter) session within it.

A few smaller touches and fixes round things out: there's now a Help Center and a public Roadmap in the menus, date pickers share one calendar with weeks starting Monday, and the Daily Briefing only surfaces signals that need attention. On reliability — upcoming workouts no longer get stuck as greyed-out placeholders after you edit something in Intervals.icu, the Daily Briefing no longer shows a stale card first thing in the morning, checkout and Coach+ top-ups go through cleanly again, and a distance-labelled running rep (like 8×500m) is no longer misread as 500 minutes.
