RECOVERY SCORE

Your recovery, scored every morning

Every morning, THRIVE turns last night’s readings from HELIOS into one recovery score on a gauge. It’s built from your sleep, your overnight HRV and resting heart rate against your own baseline, and your training form. It tells you whether today is a hard, easy or rest day, and when in the day to train.

The same score feeds the rest of THRIVE. Your training plan, your fuelling targets and MARCO all read it, so a short night shows up in what you’re asked to ride and eat that day. Any change to your plan is shown to you first. And “why?” is one tap: ask MARCO about your score from the same screen.

RECOVERY FACTORS

What’s driving your score

A score is only useful if you know what moved it. THRIVE breaks your recovery into the factors that drive it, sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and form, each against your own baseline. HRV is green above your rolling baseline and amber or red below it; resting heart rate is coloured the other way round.

Each factor opens into its own trend: overnight HRV with a 7-day sparkline, resting heart rate, sleep, and training load as fitness, fatigue and form. You can see in seconds whether a low score came from a short night, a hard week or both.

SLEEP STAGES

Understanding your sleep stages

Your sleep is broken down into four stages: deep, light, REM and awake. Each stage does a different job, and your body uses them for growth, repair and restoration. How long you spend in each one changes with training load, stress and how late you ride.

HELIOS tracks your sleep across every stage, and THRIVE shows it as a stacked bar and a hypnogram. You also get a 0–100 sleep index, a Poor-to-Excellent quality band with one line of advice, and an ideal wake-up window worked out from your sleep cycle.

ATHLETIC AGE

Track how young your body rides

Athletic age compares your HRV and resting heart rate against age-group norms and gives you the age your body is riding at, with what’s moving it. It shows green when it’s younger than your real age, and amber or red when it’s older. Follow it as a trend over 7, 30 and 90 days, next to your riding.

SENSORS

Read from your finger, day and night

HELIOS reads your body continuously, day and night: heart rate, HRV, resting heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature, respiratory rate, movement and sleep. An optical heart-rate sensor, a blood-oxygen sensor, a skin-temperature sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer sit under a clear coat on the inner band, inside a matt black grade-5 titanium shell.

There’s no screen and no buttons. The ring sends everything to THRIVE over Bluetooth. It weighs 2.1 g, runs 7–10 days on a charge and is water resistant to 100 m, so it stays on through rides, showers and sleep. The travel charger in the box tops it up anywhere.

STRESS

Check your stress, then bring it down

Your stress level sits in today’s vitals, next to HRV, sleep and resting heart rate. You can also take a stress reading on demand from HELIOS whenever you want: before a race, after a long day at work, or when your recovery score looks off.

Then bring it down. THRIVE’s guided meditation sessions are built for cycling recovery, chosen by what you need (focus, recovery or pre-race), with your heart rate tracked live so you can watch it settle.

YOUR PLAN

Base, build, peak, taper

Answer six questions: your goal, event date, experience, hours, schedule and whether you want strength. MARCO builds a multi-week plan in real phases: base, build, peak and taper. Every session has real targets (zones, power, intervals), and strength and mobility land on the days they fit.

The monthly calendar shows every planned and completed session, colour-coded by phase, with fitness, fatigue and form tiles. Open any session for its structure, power profile and target zones, and one tap starts it as a live ride or strength session.

PLAN UPDATES

You approve every change

When your week changes (a bad night, a missed session, a big unplanned ride, a new schedule), THRIVE works out what should move and shows you the change and the reason. You apply it, keep the plan, or take a rest day. Swaps, moves, skips, intensity and the week’s focus all work the same way.

It happens once a day, in the morning, off the bike. Nothing changes mid-ride, and the plan is never changed silently.

TRAINING PLANNER

Every session in one calendar

Every planned and completed session sits in one calendar: rides, strength and mobility, so you can read your week at a glance. Each week shows its TSS, hours and how many sessions are done, and fitness, fatigue and form show where the block is taking you.

RIDE MODE

Your bike computer, on your phone

Ride mode turns the phone on your bars into your bike computer: the map, turn-by-turn navigation and every live number, including speed, distance, heart rate from HELIOS, power, cadence and elevation. Rides record straight into your history and training load, with nothing else to mount or charge.

Power and cadence come from one calculation: HELIOS heart rate together with speed, gradient, and rider and bike mass. That gives you an accurate, consistent reading to pace and train by, with no power meter, cadence sensor or chest strap. Your heart rate zones show live on the ride screen, turns are spoken aloud, and maps keep loading offline.

CLIMBING MODE

Every climb, mapped as you ride

Load a route and THRIVE detects the climbs on it. As you approach each one, ride mode switches to a climb profile: gradient, distance left, elevation gain and your climb power, with voice alerts. You always know how much climb is left and what you’re putting out, so you don’t blow up halfway.

Plan a route by tapping waypoints that snap to bike-friendly roads, or import any GPX or TCX file. Every route runs with full navigation and Climbing Mode.

INTERVAL REPORT

Every interval, graded

Load a structured workout and training mode shows the current interval’s target (zone, power, heart rate, cadence) with a segment timeline and live feedback on whether you’re hitting it. On the road or on the trainer.

After the ride, every work interval is graded against its target: held it, overcooked it or faded. The splits are saved per interval, and MARCO reads them to tell you what to do next.

MARCO

A coach who knows your data

MARCO is THRIVE’s own coach, built for cycling and nothing else. Ask by voice or text and he answers from your own data: last night’s sleep and recovery, HRV, your last rides, training load, goals and fuelling. He knows which screen you’re on, so “why is this red?” needs no explanation.

He answers from THRIVE’s coaching library: peer-reviewed sports science and the methods of leading cycling coaches, physiotherapists and pro riders, with every study checked before it goes in. He also takes action: building your plan, planning a ride, changing your week and logging food, and you accept or reject each change.

YOUR GOAL

Built around what you’re chasing

Tell MARCO what you’re chasing (raise your FTP, climb faster, sharpen your sprint, build your base or get race-ready) and your event date. Your plan, fuelling and recovery are set to get you there. Change the goal or the date and he rebuilds the plan around it.

MORNING BRIEF

Briefed before you ride

MARCO briefs you in one screen: how you recovered, today’s session, what to eat for it and the conditions outside. Tap through to keep the conversation going.

FUEL PLAN

Every gram, timed to the ride

Every planned ride gets its own fuelling plan: what to eat before it, how many carbs per hour to take during it, and what to take on after, worked out from that session’s duration and intensity and your body.

Your regulars (gels, drink mix, bars) are one-tap quick-add tiles, so intake is logged as you go and the day’s targets update.

DAILY TARGETS

Calories and carbs, matched to your load

THRIVE sets your daily calorie and carbohydrate targets from your body and that day’s training using the Energy Availability model from sports science: basal metabolic rate plus exercise energy plus daily activity, adjusted for your goal. A hard day gets more, a rest day gets less, automatically.

Log meals by describing them, snapping a photo, scanning a barcode or searching. There’s a floor so your target never drops into under-fuelling: it’s fuelling for training, never dieting.

SUPPLEMENTS

Personalised to your training

Take the 2-minute quiz and THRIVE matches your stack to your training, recovery and goal. Prefer to choose? Pick a set pack (Performance, Back from injury or Weight loss) or add any supplement on its own.

THE DIFFERENCE

See your energy dip before it hits

Fuel Curve is a predicted energy line for your day, built from your food log, your rides and HELIOS. It shows whether you’re steady, heading for a dip or on a surge, and tells you what to do next in plain words, with a time: dip likely around 3:35 PM, so eat about 30 g of carbs by 3:15 to stay level.

It sits on your Home screen and in Nutrition, and the 7-day view shows how steady your energy has been all week, with your ride days marked. On the bike, your ride screen shows when your next fuel is due. Fuel Curve is in beta: it’s a prediction, not a measurement.

RIDE FUEL

Finish strong instead of fading

Every planned ride gets its own fuelling plan: what to eat before it, how many carbs per hour to take on the bike, and what to have after, worked out from the session’s length and intensity and your body. You see how much to carry and when to take each gel and bottle.

Out on the ride, your ride screen shows when your next fuel is due. Feeling flat? Tap “I’m fading” and it tells you how many carbs to take now. Your regulars (gels, drink mix, bars) are one-tap logs, so the day’s targets keep up.

DAILY TARGETS

Lose weight without running on empty

Set a weight goal and THRIVE sets your daily calorie and carb targets for it, using the Energy Availability model from sports science: your basal metabolic rate, plus what your training burns, plus your daily activity. Big training days get more and rest days get less, so the fuel is there when you ride hard.

Eat too little on a hard day and the ride suffers, then the hunger hits later. Targets that move with your training let you lose weight without cutting the fuel your riding needs. Every meal you log shows against the day’s target, and the week view shows how each day went.

LONG-TERM HEALTH

Train hard without under-fuelling

Training hard on too little food is called low energy availability. Sports science links it to lost power and slower recovery, and over time to problems with bones, hormones and immunity. Riders chasing weight are most at risk, and it’s easy to miss.

THRIVE puts a floor under every daily target, so it never drops into under-fuelling, even on a weight goal. Your energy availability shows on the Nutrition screen every day, worked out from what you eat and what your training burns. It’s fuelling for training, never dieting.

FOOD LOG

Log a meal in seconds

Log food four ways: snap a photo and the app recognises the meal and proposes realistic portions, scan a barcode, search the USDA database, or just say what you ate. Whole dishes work, and nothing is added until you’ve checked it.

Your regulars (the gel, the banana, your usual bottle mix) are one tap. And when you don’t know what to eat, ask MARCO to plan the rest of today’s meals to fit what’s left of your targets, around your training.
