What is Intervals.icu?
Intervals.icu is a powerful training analytics platform used by over 120,000 athletes. It analyzes your rides and runs, tracks fitness and fatigue, estimates your FTP without formal testing, and lets you build structured training plans. Many cyclists use it as their central training hub because it combines TrainingPeaks-level analytics with a calendar-based workout planner, all for free (with an optional $4/month supporter tier).
The problem? Intervals.icu is great for planning, but you still need somewhere to execute those workouts. That is where Ride Cave comes in.
How the Integration Works
Once you connect your Intervals.icu account in Settings, Ride Cave pulls in your upcoming scheduled workouts. These appear on the home screen alongside the built-in workout library. Select one, and Ride Cave converts it into a structured workout you can ride immediately.
The conversion handles the details: warm-up and cool-down segments, intervals with power targets, repeat blocks, and ramps. If your workout uses heart rate zones instead of power, Ride Cave estimates equivalent power targets. Your FTP from Intervals.icu syncs automatically, so power targets match your current fitness.
Automatic Upload Back to Intervals.icu
After you finish a ride, Ride Cave can upload it back to Intervals.icu automatically. Enable auto-upload in Settings, and your completed activities appear in your Intervals.icu calendar with full power, heart rate, and cadence data. Your fitness chart updates, your compliance tracking stays accurate, and everything stays in sync without any manual steps.
Why This Matters
Structured training works best when you can actually follow it. Having your workouts scattered across different apps, or needing to manually recreate them each time, creates friction that makes it harder to stay consistent. By connecting your training plan directly to your riding app, you remove that friction.
Open Intervals.icu, plan your week. Open Ride Cave, ride today's workout. Everything stays connected.
Getting Started
To connect your account: open Ride Cave, go to Settings, select Integrations, and click Connect Intervals.icu. You will be redirected to Intervals.icu to authorize the connection. Once authorized, your upcoming workouts will appear on the Ride Cave home screen.
The integration uses OAuth, so Ride Cave never sees your Intervals.icu password. You can disconnect at any time from Settings if you change your mind.
