Written By Martijn Russchen
Last updated 5 months ago
TrainNow — the Train tab — generates a one-off workout for right now, outside your weekly plan. Use it for spontaneous sessions, a change of plan, or to top up your week.
Creating a workout
Pick a sport — Ride, Run, Trail Run, Swim, Walk, Hike, Strength, or Brick.
Set the target — choose a Duration or a Target TSS, and the date (defaults to today; you can schedule it ahead).
Get options — tap Get Workout Options for AI-recommended workouts tuned to your current readiness (you'll see today's health signals first). Or use Quick Pick to choose a workout category, or All Workouts to search the full library.
Upload — pick a workout, then Upload to Calendar. It lands on your Intervals.icu calendar (and syncs on to Zwift, your Garmin/Wahoo, etc.). Then Start Over for another.
Brick workouts
Pick Brick to build a bike-then-run session. Choose a pattern — Transition brick (Sweet Spot ride + short Z2 run) or Long endurance brick (Z2 ride + Z2 run) — set the ride and run durations, and tap Generate brick. You'll see the bike part, a T2 transition, and the run part, then Upload brick to calendar adds both as a pair.
