How a Pro Team works.
Training shared with the riders you train with.

You ride with the same people every week: a club's Saturday group, a few friends building towards the same gran fondo, a gravel crew that races together. Each of you keeps your training in Intervals.icu, and each of you asks your own AI assistant about it. A Pro Team lets those assistants read each other's training as well, so that your assistant can answer a question about the group and not only about you.

This article sets out how a team works in full: who can be in one, what it costs, how it is made, what each rider agrees to share, what a teammate's assistant can and cannot read, the limits, and what happens when a rider's plan ends or they leave. The last section compares it with the Coach plans. The terms of service are the rules.

Who a team is for

A team is two to ten members who share one context and read each other's training. It is meant for people who know each other and train together, which is why it stops at ten.

Every member needs a plan of their own to read or be read: Pro, a Coach plan or a trial that is still running. An account on Free cannot make a team or accept an invitation to one, and is not counted among its members. The team's shared context opens once two members on such a plan have joined.

An account is in one team at a time, whether it made the team or joined it. A rider who wants to join another team leaves the first; a team's owner cannot leave it, and closes it instead.

What it costs

Nothing extra. A team is not a subscription, and nobody pays for it. Each member is on Pro, a Coach plan or a trial that is still running, as they would be without the team, and the team counts that plan. The prices of the plans are on the pricing page.

Making a team and inviting riders

A member on a plan of their own makes the team in their portal and gives it a name. They become its owner, and only the owner invites.

• An invitation is a link. It is single-use and expires after seven days. IntervalSync does not send it: the owner copies it and sends it to the rider themselves, by whatever message the group already uses. A team can have ten unused invitations open at once.
• The owner can see whether a link was opened. Each unused invitation shows when it expires and whether its page has been opened, with the day it was first opened and how many times. An invitation that was declined shows who declined it and when.
• The owner can revoke a link that has not been used. It stops working at once, and whoever opens it is told it was withdrawn. The owner can send a new one.
• Opening a link shares nothing. A rider who opens it while signed in finds the invitation waiting in their portal until they accept or decline it.

The agreement, and the five groups each rider picks

Making a team or joining one means agreeing that every other member's connected assistants can read your training, from the training account you sign in to IntervalSync with. Nobody is in a team without that agreement. It is given on a page that shows what is shared before you agree, and it covers the members who join after you.

What is shared is in five groups, and each rider chooses which of theirs the others read:

• Activities. Completed activities: the list, one activity's summary and detail, its intervals, sensor streams, effort blocks and climbs, and the best power drawn from them, fresh and after hard work, with Intervals.icu's power model.
• Wellness. Daily wellness records: sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, weight and whatever else is logged with them.
• Planned workouts. Workouts and events on the calendar.
• Fitness and load summary. Totals of completed training by week, month or period: time, distance, load and time in zones.
• Profile and zones. The athlete profile as Intervals.icu holds it, with the weight and resting heart rate entered there, and each sport's zones and thresholds.

All five are ticked when you first agree, and you untick what you want to keep to yourself. You can change them on the team's card at any time, and a change applies to the next read. Two things are worth knowing before you choose. Power curves are in Activities, because they are drawn from the power streams of your rides. And the profile carries the weight and resting heart rate you entered in Intervals.icu, so unticking Wellness alone does not keep your weight to yourself. A rider who shares the summary and not Activities shares totals and no single ride.

Nobody reads who is not read. A member who shares at least one group reads whatever each other member shares. A member who shares none reads none.

What a teammate's assistant can read, and what it cannot

A teammate's assistant reads your training with the same read tools your own assistant uses for you. Its list of teammates says what each one shares, so it does not have to learn that by being refused. A read of a group you do not share is refused, naming the group.

• It is read-only. A teammate's assistant cannot change your activities, your wellness records or your calendar.
• Your saved training context and your feedback are never shared, whatever you tick.
• Every read is recorded. A read of you appears in your activity history with the reader's name.

With the group sharing activities and the summary, questions like these have an answer:

List my teammates and what each of them shares. Then compare my training load over the last four weeks with each of theirs, week by week.

Our club's spring 200 km is in six weeks. Read the team's brief and events, and the planned workouts of everyone who shares them, and tell me who has a long ride planned this weekend.

The shared brief, updates and team events

Beside each other's training, a team keeps one shared context that every member and their connected assistants read.

• The brief is the team's goal, focus, priorities and constraints. It is kept by the team's owner and stays until it is changed or the team is closed.
• Updates are short messages any member can publish, in the portal or through their assistant. They are kept for 90 days. A member can remove their own, and the owner can remove any.
• Team events are a date, optional start and end times and end date, a name and a description: a club ride, a race, a training camp. Any member who can read the team can add one, and a team can have 30 coming up at once. An event is kept for 90 days after its date. A member can add an event to their own Intervals.icu calendar as a note, which counts as one of the day's calls to Intervals.icu; changing the event later does not change the note.

Nothing is published without the member's consent. An assistant publishes only when its member asks or agrees, and no private conversation is copied automatically. What one member wrote reaches another member's assistant marked as whose words they are. Publishing is asynchronous: it does not contact or wake anyone else's assistant.

The limits

• Reads of teammates count against the reader's own daily limit. Pro and the trial can make up to 300 calls to Intervals.icu per UTC day, Coach 5 up to 800 and Coach 15 up to 1,800. Being read costs you nothing.
• A team is two to ten members, and an account is in one team.
• A member can publish up to 50 updates per UTC day across their shared contexts. Adding or changing an event counts as one of them.

When a plan ends, and leaving

A plan that ends keeps the place and closes the door. A member whose plan has ended stays in the team, is read by nobody and reads nobody, and cannot read or publish in the shared context until they are on a plan of their own again. The same is true of a member whose shared training account has been disconnected. The other members are not affected.

To stop sharing and keep your place, untick every group on the team's card. To stop altogether, leave the team; its owner closes it instead. The owner can also remove a member. Leaving, being removed, the team being closed or deleting your account ends the sharing, and the next read is refused. Deleting your account also removes the words you published. Training data an assistant has already been given follows that assistant provider's rules.

A Pro Team or a Coach plan?

A team is a group of equals who read each other. A Coach plan is one coach reading the athletes who share with them, and how the Coach plans work sets it out in full. The difference is in who pays and who reads whom:

A Coach plan counts as a plan of the member's own for a team, so a coach can ride in a team with their own group while they coach others. The overview of the Coach plans and Pro Team sets the two side by side in full.
