If you log what you eat, drink or weigh in Intervals.icu, your LeCoach AI coach can now see it. Calories, macros, steps, body fat, blood oxygen, water intake, blood glucose, the carbs you ate during a ride, the weather on that ride and how hard the session felt. Ask about fuelling or recovery and the answer starts from your own numbers, not from a textbook.
Fuelling is the topic athletes ask their coach about most. Until now, the coach could see what a ride cost you, but not what you put back in. That gap is closed.
What your coach can now see
Everything below comes from Intervals.icu. You don't need to set anything up in LeCoach. If the data is in Intervals.icu, the coach can use it.
Daily nutrition and body data
Calories eaten
Carbs, protein and fat in grams
Water intake, in your own units
Daily steps
Body fat percentage
Blood oxygen (SpO2)
Blood glucose
Sleeping heart rate and breathing rate
Per ride
Carbs you logged as eaten during the ride
Outside temperature, "feels like" temperature, wind speed, headwind and tailwind share, and rain (for outdoor rides with weather data)
Session effort (session RPE) and heart rate recovery
The coach already saw your power, heart rate, training load, carbs burned and calories per ride. Now it can put those next to what you ate, the conditions you rode in and how the effort felt.
Better fuelling answers, based on your own data
Say you rode four hours on Saturday and logged 60 grams of carbs per hour. You ask the coach why the last hour fell apart. It can now compare the carbs you burned with the carbs you ate during the ride, look at what you ate the day before, and check whether it was 28 degrees with a headwind for half the route. That is a very different answer from "aim for 60 to 90 grams per hour".
A few questions worth trying:
"Was I underfuelled on Sunday's long ride?"
"How did my carb intake this week compare with my training load?"
"My legs felt flat today. Could it be what I ate yesterday?"
"Why was my heart rate so high on Thursday's ride?" (the coach can now see it was hot and windy)
If you want to go deeper on the basics, our guides on how to fuel during a cycling ride and daily nutrition for cyclists are a good place to start. The coach now helps you apply them to your own riding.
Recovery questions get more context too
Recovery is not just HRV and sleep. Steps tell the coach how active your rest day really was. Blood oxygen, sleeping heart rate and breathing rate add detail to your night. Session effort and heart rate recovery show how a ride landed, beyond the power file.
So when you ask "Should I do the threshold session today or push it to tomorrow?", the coach weighs more of the picture. As always, if something in your plan should change, it suggests the change and explains why. Nothing gets reshuffled behind your back.
Only what you log, and nothing more
These numbers are self-logged, and most athletes don't log everything every day. The coach knows that. A day without nutrition data means you didn't log it, not that you ate nothing. If you don't track food or body data at all, nothing changes for you, and your answers stay just as focused.
How to get the most out of it
Log your food, water or body data in Intervals.icu, or connect an app that already sends it there. See which health and wellness data LeCoach syncs from Intervals.icu for the full list.
Add the carbs you eat during a ride to the activity in Intervals.icu.
Ask your coach. Be specific: name the ride, the day or the week.
