Get your rides straight from your Hammerhead Karoo, and your planned rides on your Karoo. No Intervals.icu account needed.

Connect your Hammerhead account and IntervalCoach gets your rides straight from your Karoo, and sends your planned rides to it. You don't need an Intervals.icu account for this.

Connect

  1. Open Settings → Integrations (or the "Your data" step when you sign up).
  2. Choose Hammerhead and sign in with your Hammerhead account.
  3. Allow IntervalCoach access. Leave every permission ticked: without them, your rides or your planned workouts can't come through.

We then fetch the last 12 months of your Karoo rides. That takes a few minutes. Your first plan is rebuilt once the history is in, so it starts from what you actually rode.

What comes in

  • Every new ride you record on your Karoo arrives on its own, usually within minutes of the upload. If one is ever missed, we pick it up again within a few hours.
  • Power, heart rate, speed, cadence and the route from the recording.
  • Your FTP comes from your settings in IntervalCoach. If you haven't set one, we estimate it from your rides and mark it as an estimate. You can set your own in Settings → Training → Zones.

Workouts on your Karoo

Your planned rides for today and the next six days are sent to Hammerhead and show up on your Karoo under workouts. When the plan changes, the workout on your Karoo changes with it, and a ride you remove from your plan is removed there too.

Runs, swims, strength sessions and other sports are not sent: the Karoo is a bike computer.

Already using Intervals.icu with your Karoo?

You can connect Hammerhead directly and keep your Intervals.icu connection. Nothing changes in Intervals.icu.

  • Your rides now reach IntervalCoach straight from Hammerhead, usually faster than through Intervals.icu. The same ride also still arrives through Intervals.icu; we recognise it as the same ride, so it shows once in your training log.
  • Your planned workouts: when your Karoo is linked in Intervals.icu, Intervals.icu already sends your planned workouts to it. IntervalCoach then doesn't send them as well, so you never get a session twice. In Settings → Integrations → Hammerhead you can see which of the two sends them.
  • Garmin, Zwift and other apps keep coming in through Intervals.icu as before.

Disconnecting

Disconnect in Settings → Integrations → Hammerhead. The workouts IntervalCoach sent to your Karoo are removed from it. The rides already in your training log stay there. Deleting your account removes everything.
