Yes. Platyplus does not store your raw FIT files or calculate your base metrics (like eFTP or CTL) itself. It uses Intervals.icu as the source of truth for your fitness data. You can create a free Intervals.icu account during our sign-up flow.
Platyplus generates the plan and the workouts, pushing them directly to your Intervals calendar (which syncs to your Wahoo/Garmin). If you want to ride those workouts indoors, you can use any head unit or free app (like Wahoo SYSTM or Garmin Edge) in ERG mode. You do not need a paid TrainerRoad subscription if you use Platyplus.
Most "AI coaches" are just chatbots that spit out generic 12-week static plans. Platyplus uses the Combination Matrix, an engine strictly constrained by proven sports science (Friel, Daniels). It actively adapts your schedule daily based on your sleep, HRV, and muscle soreness check-ins.
Currently, Platyplus is optimized for Cycling, Running, and Strength Training. We manage the concurrent load perfectly between these three. Swimming integration is currently in Beta and will be launching soon.
Yes. Platyplus is one of the only coaching engines in the world that includes a dedicated toggle for female physiology and pregnancy. Based on Dr. Stacy Sims' research, the engine will automatically cap maximum heart rate zones and restrict lifting rep-ranges to safe, supported bands. (Note: Always consult your physician before starting any exercise program).
