How to give your coach feedback after a workout

Your coach learns from every ride and run, and your feedback makes that learning sharper. There are three ways your input reaches the coach after a workout.

Rate the workout from your analysis email

After each completed workout you get a post-workout analysis email. Near the middle of it there is a Rate Workout button. It opens a quick 30-second form where you set:

RPE (1-10): how hard the session felt overall.

Feel (1-5): how good your legs and body felt doing it.

Both ratings are saved to your Intervals.icu activity and your coach uses them to fine-tune upcoming workouts. A session that was prescribed as moderate but felt like a 9 tells the coach something your power data alone does not.

Rate it in the mobile app

In the IntervalCoach app you can add the same RPE and feel ratings directly on an activity, so you do not need the email to give feedback.

Tell the coach anything else in Coach+ chat

For feedback that does not fit a rating, just say it in Coach+ chat. For example: "I had to raise the intensity to 110% today to feel challenged" or "my knee felt off during the intervals". When it is relevant to your training, the coach remembers it and factors it into future sessions.

Some feedback the coach picks up on its own

The post-workout analysis always compares what you actually did against what was prescribed: power, heart rate, and how each interval went. If you rode above or below target, the coach sees that automatically. When a pattern shows up, like regularly finishing intervals above target power, it is one of the signals used to adjust the intensity of what comes next.
