How to read your plan and the daily review

The plan feed: what goes where

The plan covers 14 days and is built from your fitness, races and constraints. Each day in the feed lives in two layers: “Plan” — what the coach intended, and “Fact” — what your watch recorded.

• “→ to device” sends a workout to the intervals.icu calendar — your watch and Zwift pick it up on the next sync.
• Moved sessions are honestly labelled “Moved from…” / “Moved to…” — you always see what shifted.
• Duplicates. Two records from different devices close in time are suggested as one workout — keep the source you prefer and we remove the other.

The daily review: plan vs fact

“Daily review →” in the feed opens the reconciliation: dashed lines are the plan by phase, the filled area is the actual seconds or intervals. A green segment means the work hit its phase target. On short segments (up to 4 minutes) heart rate is credited with a cardiac-lag correction — the heart does not respond to acceleration instantly. Below, the “Why this workout” block explains which quality it develops and the time-in-zone target.

How to read the verdict

The day badge is a share of planned load, not a grade for effort. Three important nuances:

• Interval days show less load than planned — that is normal. A long warm-up and pauses between reps “dilute” the total TSS. For quality days, check the main thing: was the time-in-zone target met?
• “Above plan” is fine once in a while. But an easy day must stay easy: a systematic overshoot of easy days quietly turns the week into a moderate-intensity one.
• Missed a day? Do not “catch up” with double volume tomorrow — the coach accounts for the miss when rebuilding the week.

When the plan changes by itself

The coach adjusts the plan based on data: moves, fatigue, fresh metrics. Every adjustment is labelled “adjusted” and can be reverted in one click — the plan returns to its pre-adjustment state. If your main race is moved or deleted, the plan is flagged as stale and offers to rebuild around the actual target. And changing sports in your profile shifts the coach’s focus, but the current plan does not rebuild on its own — just tell Skol in the chat.
