Meet Interval IQ™ — your rides, decoded automatically

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

​

Even the cleanest power file can hide what really happened in your session. Miss a lap press by two seconds, and your averages—and any Coach’s feedback—are off.

​

​Interval IQ™ fixes that.​

​

Our new machine‑learning engine scans every second of your ride and builds “virtual laps” for every meaningful effort, not just the best one.

​

That means:

  • True work‑bout averages for your 30/30s (or 4 × 10 min at CP)
  • Hidden sprints and fatigue fades surfaced automatically
  • Smarter compliance scores and analysis from the AI Coach
  • Less file‑scrubbing for you—and especially for your human coach

​

See the full story (and a 5‑minute podcast clip) in the launch article:

​

​

​

Quick highlights (see your Session Chart)

  • Totally automatic — works even if you never touch the lap button.
  • Metric tagging — intervals tagged with Average Power, MP⁴, Average HR, Power Zone.
  • Indoor & outdoor — adapts to ERG mode or rolling terrain.
  • Road‑mapped for running, rowing and swim pace detection (2025‑26).

Try it on your own data

  1. Upload or sync up to two years of history.
  2. Open any ride → Session Chart → watch the barcode appear.
  3. [Coming soon!] Let the AI Coach analyze your intervals in relation to historical context.

Hello Reader, As our team at Athletica puts the final pieces in place for the launch of our new platform, including the new UIX, conversational AI-Coach, and Athletica U, I wanted to pause and share a broader perspective. There is a lot of noise right now around “AI coaching.” Much of it is well intentioned, but some of it risks distracting from the real work that matters: helping athletes and coaches make better decisions day to day. The piece below is longer than a typical email, but it...
