Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Here you will find answers to the most important questions about icPlanner.
Do I have to exercise every day?
No. You can choose your favorite days - and the plan adapts to them. So you can train in a way that suits your everyday life. The logic also ensures that there are no unhealthy constellations (e.g. four days in a row).
What happens if I am ill or on vacation?
You can enter breaks or training camps in your calendar. The plan recognizes this and automatically adjusts the workload (e.g. return to training after illness with reduced intensity).
Does it cost anything?
Yes. The Basic access is free. The Premium access costs 29.99 EUR per year, equivalent to 2.49 EUR per month and includes the full range of features.
How are my units calculated?
The plan combines your available time frame, your desired days and your competition goal. In the background, we work with intelligent training metrics: LTL (Long Term Training Load - your fitness level), STL (Short Term Training Load - your current fatigue), Fresh (freshness - the difference between LTL and STL) and Load (load per session). This will help you get fit without overtraining.
Can I use the training sessions in Zwift or Garmin?
Yes. You can connect your icPlanner calendar directly to Intervals.icu (OAuth). From there, workouts are automatically sent to Zwift, Garmin, or Wahoo. Alternatively, you can also download individual workouts as a .zwo file.
Can I change my plan?
Yes, you can recalculate your existing plan - e.g. with a changed time budget or new preferred days. Your old plan will be overwritten automatically.
What does "performance-driven" mean?
Our training plans are based on your actual performance in watts - not on pulse or feeling. This makes your training more precise, effective and easier to control. A power meter on the bike or indoor trainer is required.
Why is this important?
Power is objective. Those who know their wattage train specifically – e.g., for endurance, threshold, or VO2max. Your plan is individually tailored and adapts to your current form.
How do I determine my FTP?
The FTP (Functional Threshold Power) is the power output you can sustain for approximately 60 minutes. You can determine it via your training platform or with a structured test on the indoor trainer. • Ramp test: easy start, about 15 minutes • FTP test (classic): longer, more accurate test with a warm-up phase and 20-minute all-out effort You can find such tests in icTrainer, Zwift, Wahoo, Intervals.icu, or other training platforms.
How do I estimate my VO2max performance?
The Zwift ramp test is also suitable for this: Simply subtract two levels (20 watts each) from the last level reached - this will give you a good estimate of your VO2max power. Example: If you stop the test at 300 watts, your estimated VO2max power is around 260 watts.
What if I don't know my values?
No stress – you can use icPlanner even without exact power values. Currently, everything is based on relative values (e.g., 85% of your FTP), so you don't need to enter your individual values yet. Your training platform, such as icTrainer, Zwift, Intervals.icu, or Wahoo, automatically scales the workouts – depending on the FTP input there. However: You should still know your FTP – simply to better gauge your training. For VO₂max: It will be interesting later – for now, it has no impact on your plan.
Can I mark my training courses as "completed"?
No. icPlanner is not a training tracker, but solely a provider of smart training plans. If you want to track your training, we recommend external platforms like icTrainer, Garmin, Strava, Intervals.icu, or Zwift. Many of them can be synchronized with each other.
How do I use the workouts in icTrainer?
For icTrainer, you can use your workouts via direct connection through API or by using ZWO/ERG files. Additionally, we are currently developing our own step-by-step guide to make this process clearer.
Which training services can I connect directly?
Currently, you can connect Intervals.icu, Hammerhead, Suunto, and Wahoo directly. Garmin and COROS are technically ready, but the direct connections are not yet available as the required API access is missing.
How can I use my workouts with Garmin or COROS?
For Garmin, you can sync your workouts via Intervals.icu or download individual sessions as Garmin-FIT files. A direct Garmin connection is not yet activated. For COROS, direct synchronization will be available as soon as the required API access is in place.
Can I export individual workouts?
Yes. You can download individual workouts in compatible formats, such as .zwo or .erg for compatible training platforms. Additionally, the FIT export is available for Garmin.
What happens to my old DunMove account?
Your existing DunMove account will be continued at icPlanner. Your account and training data will remain intact. You do not need to create a new icPlanner account.
How do I log in to icPlanner in the future?
Click on 'Log in with icTrainer'. The login will be handled through icTrainer from now on. If you are already logged in to icTrainer, you will be redirected back to icPlanner and logged in there.
What password do I need for logging in?
If you already have an icTrainer account with the same email address, use your icTrainer login credentials. You will not need your previous DunMove password. If you have not registered with icTrainer yet, log in there once using your previous DunMove email address and password.
What is the deep link or passwordless login via icTrainer?
icPlanner will take over the confirmed login from icTrainer. If you are already logged in to icTrainer, you will not need to enter a password again at icPlanner. Just click on 'Log in with icTrainer' and you will be logged in directly.
What happens if I log in to icTrainer via an email link?
After logging in via the email link, you are currently not automatically redirected back to icPlanner. Open icPlanner again and click on 'Log in with icTrainer' again. Since you are already logged in to icTrainer, you will then be logged in directly at icPlanner.
Which email address should I use at icTrainer?
Use the same email address that you have previously used with DunMove or icPlanner. Only then can your existing account be reliably assigned.
What should I do if my old data is missing after login?
First, check if you are logged in to icTrainer with the same email address as you were with DunMove. Please do not create a new account. If your previous training plans or data are still missing, please contact support. (info@icPlanner.de)
Can I still log in directly with my old DunMove credentials?
The direct login at icPlanner with your previous DunMove credentials will be discontinued later this year. So please switch to 'Log in with icTrainer' now.
What should I do if my old account cannot be clearly assigned?
Log in with the icTrainer account that uses the same email address as your previous DunMove account and check if you land in your previous DunMove account. If the login does not work or your previous data is missing, please reply to the corresponding support email. Please do not create a new account.
