What's new in PaceBeats

We ship improvements to your adaptive AI triathlon coach all the time. Here's everything meaningful we've added and made better — newest first.

  1. v2.2.0

    Coaching, Strava, and a smarter AI coach

    PaceBeats opens up to coaches, connects to Strava both ways, and gives your AI coach the ability to edit your plan and deliver weekly insights.

    New
    • Coach and athlete relationships

      Invite someone by email to coach them, or be coached, so a coach can manage another athlete's plan, races, and workouts from a dedicated Coaching area while keeping their own training separate.

    • Coach athlete roster with vital signs

      Coaches get an at-a-glance view of every athlete's key metrics plus an AI insight, so they always know who needs attention.

    • Private coach notes per athlete

      Keep private notes on each athlete to track context, history, and plans over time.

    • Strava activity sync

      Connect Strava as a second activity source so your completed rides, runs, and swims flow straight into PaceBeats and match up with your planned workouts.

    • Push workouts to Strava

      Send your completed PaceBeats sessions to Strava with the planned workout's name and branding, so your followers see exactly what you trained.

    • Subscribe to your training calendar

      Add a read-only calendar feed so your planned sessions show up automatically in Apple, Google, or Outlook calendar.

    • Daily and weekly training emails

      Get a morning email with the workout on your plan, plus a weekly recap of what you did and how it felt delivered to your inbox.

    • Installable app with offline workouts

      Install PaceBeats to your phone or desktop and still view your planned workouts even when you have no connection.

    • Weekly AI insights

      See a fresh, personalized read on your training each week that highlights what's going well and what to watch.

    • AI coach can edit your plan from chat

      Ask your AI coach to adjust your plan right in the chat, then review and confirm each change before it's applied.

    • Edit and trim workout blocks

      Tailor any planned session by removing blocks or setting a block's exact duration in minutes, with training load recalculated instantly, and undo a trim to bring a block right back.

    • Plan your full week your way

      Set how each day looks with a day-card editor, per-day limits, and draggable tags for your long sessions.

    • Understand where your targets come from

      Workout paces and power now explain whether they're based on your threshold pace or FTP, with a quick link to update them in settings.

    • Subscription plans and self-serve upgrade

      Choose the plan that fits you and upgrade right inside the app, with seamless checkout that picks up where you left off.

    • Free calculators, guides, and metrics preview

      Browse your week on a scrollable day strip with workout-structure previews on each card, key-workout highlighting, and a one-tap jump back to today.

    • Revamped Progress page

      Your Progress page now opens with a clear, coach-style read on your fitness so you instantly know whether to push or recover.

    • Training load shown in hours

      See your weekly training as an approximate number of hours, making your plan easier to picture than raw load numbers.

    • Tabbed settings and refreshed pricing

      Find your settings faster with organized, mobile-friendly tabs, and explore plans on a clearer pricing page that leads with plan cards and shows annual value up front.

    • Smoother onboarding

    Know whether you're getting fitter

    A new analytics suite, gamification, and indoor/outdoor ride switching make it clear how your training is paying off.

    New

    • Clearer scheduling conflict warnings

      When a key long ride or long run can't fit your available days, or your weekly hours can't reach a race target, the plan tells you directly instead of quietly scaling things back.
