About SurgeIQ Lab
SurgeIQ Lab exists to close the gap between a training plan and the ride you actually do.
The problem
Plenty of training plans are written as notes: “sweet spot intervals, around an hour”. That leaves the rider to decide on the day what the intervals are, how long, and how hard — and a bike computer can’t help with any of it. Plans written that way are hard to follow, hard to repeat, and hard for a coach and athlete to agree on.
What SurgeIQ Lab does
- Every ride is built from structured steps — durations and targets, with real repeat blocks.
- Plans arrange those workouts over weeks and apply them to a calendar.
- Workouts download as FIT workout files for bike computers, or .ZWO / .ERG for trainer apps.
- Coaches author plans once and assign them to athletes as drafts before publishing.
- Rides imported from Strava sit next to the plan, with load, zones and trends.
- The public tools and guides are free with no subscription, and accounts are planned to be free as well.
What it doesn’t do (yet)
- No direct sync to Garmin Connect or Wahoo — those need developer-programme approval.
- No running workouts with pace targets.
- It doesn’t diagnose, treat or give medical advice, and it doesn’t promise performance gains.
How we write the guides and tools
Guides are written to explain, not to fill pages: each one covers a topic we can explain properly and links to a tool that applies it. Technical claims about file formats cite the published specification. Tools use the same workout model and zone definitions as the app, so what you learn here matches what you see after signing in. Pages show when they were published, and the “updated” date changes only when the content does.
