The setup wizard: your first run-through

Written By Martijn Russchen

The first time you sign in, a short setup wizard walks you through everything IntervalCoach needs to start coaching you. You can skip most steps and change anything later in Settings.

What it covers

  • Welcome — a quick explainer of how IntervalCoach works.

  • Your training goal — choose a race, a fitness goal, or manual mode.

  • Goal details — pick or confirm your goal event (or set phases yourself in manual mode).

  • What you train — your primary sport, plus any others.

  • Fitness target — set your CTL target for the goal (with an optional FTP target). Skipped if you have no race goal.

  • Training schedule — which days you train, how many sessions, and how long. See Set your training schedule.

  • Recovery tracking — optionally connect Whoop.

  • Data connection check — confirms your Intervals.icu connection is healthy.

  • Email preferences — when and which emails you'd like.

  • Meet Coach+ — a look at what the AI coach can do.

  • You're all set — a recap and a link to your dashboard.

Nothing here is permanent — every choice lives in Settings (or the Training Plan page for your schedule) and can be changed whenever life does.
