Recover Right, Get Faster: Updated Fatigue Detection with TrainerRoad AI
You get faster when hard days count and easy days let you recover, adapt, and improve. TrainerRoad AI’s Fatigue Detection gives you a live view of when recovery is needed, so you can avoid overreaching, stay consistent, and keep fitness moving in the right direction. It builds on the past Fatigue Detection model and works inside your 4 week Training Simulation Window to show how today’s choices shape tomorrow’s training and recovery needs.
What Fatigue Detection is
Fatigue Detection both detects and predicts training fatigue based on your riding, fitness, and schedule. When recovery is needed, it schedules recovery days and adjusts upcoming sessions so your plan stays productive. You see these changes in real time on your Calendar inside the 4 week window, alongside Predicted Workout Difficulty and Live AI FTP Prediction.
In short: it tells you when to ease off, how the next few weeks shake out, and what that means for your future FTP.

How Fatigue Detection Works for You
You add a big group ride
Replace the planned workout with your group ride. Fatigue Detection reads the added load, updates recovery needs, and reshapes the next few weeks so you stay on track for your goals.
You do too much on the weekend
Fatigue Detection reviews the rides, updating recovery needs, and reshaping the next few days so you can recover, adapt, and improve. The 4 week window shows how these choices move your projected FTP and future recovery needs.
You’ve had a stressful week
Fatigue Detection sees how you have been rating your rides and the alternates you chose. From that data, Fatigue Detection can make small adjustments to keep your training productive. It doesn’t just tell you when to rest, it adjusts your workouts so you can train consistently and reach your goals.
You want to push a key interval day
You can pick a harder alternate workout, if you are feeling up to it. Once added you can see how it will affect your future training and recovery needs. It may cause more recovery needs in the future and reduce your progress overall, letting you see if it’s worth it or not.
