TrainerRoad just got smarter. Meet TrainerRoad AI, the next generation of cycling training.

Some platforms rely on templated plans and surface-level suggestions. Others use large language models like ChatGPT to give generic recommendations. TrainerRoad AI was made to go far deeper. 

It looks at how you’ve been riding, the fitness you’re building, your goals, and how fatigued you are. Using your training history, TrainerRoad AI runs performance simulations across hundreds of potential workouts for your training, testing how each can affect your progress. The result? Precision training recommendations that maximize your fitness, and clear visibility into your training future, so you can reach your goals and get faster without any guesswork.

See how it works below.

See AI in Action: AI Training Simulation

TrainerRoad AI Training Simulation gives you a live view of how TrainerRoad AI is working to make you faster. It’s a forward looking view of TrainerRoad AI, and a powerful tool for understanding and influencing your training.

What Is AI Training Simulation?

In your TrainerRoad Calendar, you’ll see a 4 week window. This is the working window for AI Training Simulation, where TrainerRoad AI is actively making recommendations and displays decisions about your training:

  • Every workout is chosen based on you with AI workouts: your current fitness, training load, fatigue, and goals.
  • Dynamically detect fatigue before it happens. TrainerRoad AI will let you know when to go easy or rest based on your fatigue, schedule, goals, and ability. 
  • AI FTP Prediction shows what your FTP is projected to be in the future. If your training changes, your predicted FTP will update in seconds to show you the impact adjustments may have on your fitness.

These features work in real time. If you make changes or complete a workout, you can watch your Calendar update instantly. Add time off or swap a workout, and see the downstream effects immediately. You’re watching TrainerRoad AI at work.

How This Helps You Train Smarter

Every action you take, from changing a ride to taking a day off, triggers a full recalculation by TrainerRoad AI. TrainerRoad AI grants you the ability to experiment and understand how your training choices affect your future training and progress.

Here are some ways athletes use the training simulation to fine-tune their training:

  • Swapping Workouts: Trade a hard workout for a big weekend group ride and see how it affects your upcoming sessions and predicted FTP.
  • Adjusting Volume: Add extra endurance or extend workouts and see how it will affect your future training: workouts adjust to accommodate the extra training load, and review your future recovery needs with dynamic fatigue predictions.
  • Testing Scenarios: Make changes in your calendar and see how your future training dynamically adjusts to keep you on track.

It’s a safe, clear way to experiment with your training and make confident adjustments to see how changes can affect your future progress. When the time comes, you always have the best recommendations to keep you moving forward.

The Only Live-Adjusting AI Training System

No other training platform gives you this level of visibility and control into how AI is driving your plan. The AI Training Simulation is your chance to understand how smart, responsive training works and adapts to your choices in real time.

Live AI FTP Prediction

TrainerRoad AI doesn’t wait for you to test your FTP. AI FTP Prediction can predict your FTP in the future(28-days), and you can see how every change to your training calendar will affect it, giving you confidence in your training and helping guide your decision making.

With TrainerRoad AI, you gain perspective and direction in your training. You can see why your training adjusts. If it’s trending upward, you know your training is on track.

Improved FTP Detection

What is TrainerRoad AI Doing to Find my FTP?
TrainerRoad AI sees raw power, heart rate, and RPE; it then figures out the next best wattage for you in your workouts to keep you progressing. It does this by running hundreds or training simulations to find what will improve your performance the most. After that, TrainerRoad AI translates those watts back into FTP and workout levels so they’re easy to use and understand.

The result of this new FTP is a functional data driven benchmark for training, that is built to improve performance. The actual wattage of your workouts will be very similar and will progress similar to how they do now. You should not see a massive, sudden dip or jump in workout difficulty with the FTP change.

AI Predicted Workout Difficulty

Each structured workout in TrainerRoad’s extensive workout library is assessed by TrainerRoad AI for how hard it will feel to you.

  • On your Calendar, upcoming workouts are labeled “Easy,” “Moderate,” “Hard,” “Very Hard,” or “Maximal.”  You can select the workout to drill into the percentage of how that ride will likely feel for you.

The predicted difficulty lets you go into sessions informed. You’ll know what to prepare for, giving you clear guidance on what to expect from your workout.

Updated Fatigue Detection

Fatigue Detection has been updated to let you see how training will affect your future training fatigue. Fatigue Detection now dynamically provides foresight into how upcoming workouts & activities will influence your fatigue level within the 4 week AI Simulation Window:

  • Extend workouts, increase intensity, or add an outdoor ride and immediately see how that change impacts training ahead.
  • You can avoid overreaching, recover smarter, and retain momentum, because TrainerRoad AI helps you steer clear of training fatigue before it happens.
  • You can restore rest and recovery recommendations back to a workout at anytime by clicking the restore button.

TrainerRoad AI Workouts

Don’t want a full plan but still want structure? TrainerRoad AI Workouts let you take a structured approach on your terms. Use TrainNow (now AI‑powered) to get a tailored workout any day, or add an AI Workout directly to your Calendar:

With AI Workouts, you’re choosing a workout type rather than a fixed session. Select the discipline, duration, and format of the workout you’d like to complete and TrainerRoad AI will run hundreds of performance simulations in seconds to find the best workout for you. You can even make scheduled sessions recurring weekly or monthly. The result is smarter, more personalized training that adjusts to you. 

Every workout in a TrainerRoad plan is also  recommended by TrainerRoad AI, forming a connected system of simulations that drive steady progress toward your goals. With TrainerRoad AI Workouts, you get the right structured workout on demand.

Training Approach

You can now further customize the training demand of your training recommendations. 

Training Approach: Tell TrainerRoad how hard you want to train. Set your training approach to controlling how demanding your plan will be, and to fit your training to your life. Over time, fine tune workout recommendations by specific training zones.

Get details on the new training features below:

Training Approach Slide

The Training Approach slider lets you choose how demanding you want your training to be across all of your training recommendations. This affects workout recommendations, overall training load, and recovery.

Dial the training approach to match your capacity:

  • Turn it up when you can recover and fuel well to convert more intensity into fitness. When you can prioritize training, nutrition, and rest, choose a higher setting to add purposeful stress and accelerate progress.
  • Turn it down when time and energy are tight so you maintain momentum. If work, travel, stress, or limited sleep cut into recovery, choose a less demanding setting to stay consistent without overdoing it.

Training Zone Control 

You can now control the ease or difficulty of workout recommendations in each training zone (Endurance – Anaerobic). If you want to improve in a certain training zone or you’re naturally stronger in a zone, you can nudge TrainerRoad AI to pick harder or easier workouts in certain zones.

Adaptive Training

Get the right workout, every time with training that adapts to you.

Dynamic Endurance

In your training plan, you can set the maximum duration for your longer endurance workouts. TrainerRoad AI will scale your long rides gradually toward that maximum as your fitness improves. If you’re working toward a longer event, it will help you work up to longer durations on the bike. You can adjust maximum endurance duration at any time, so you get endurance progress to fit both your goals & schedule. This will not affect the length of endurance sessions intended for active recovery.

AI Workout Alternates

If a planned workout doesn’t fit your schedule or energy level, TrainerRoad AI gives you options that are clear and easy to choose from. In the workout drawer, you’ll see “Workout Alternates.” These are workouts that are similar to the planned session. You can easily select workouts that are easier, harder, shorter, or longer, while still working toward your training goals.

Workout Alternates allow you to stay in control, adjusting workouts on so you can stay on track and moving toward your goals no matter what life sends your way.

What Athletes Are Saying

We’ve been testing it with real athletes and their feedback has been amazing.

“Because of TR AI, I don’t have to worry about over- or under-shooting my workout goals. It all just works, and I can tell ahead of time what will work best. I love that I can see how changes to current workouts (e.g. going longer/harder than expected on an outdoor ride) change upcoming workouts even several days out.” — Drew O. Beta Tester 👩‍💻

“TrainerRoad AI has transformed how I approach my training. I didn’t think there was much room left to improve my TrainerRoad experience but these new features have changed that. They’ve made the entire process feel more intuitive and engaging.

I don’t have to second guess the workout choices, progression, or whether I’m doing the “right” thing. The system understands my capabilities and adjusts with a level of precision and transparency I haven’t seen before. It’s taken the mental load off completely, leaving me free to just focus on doing the work.

TrainerRoad now feels like a true training partner, one that listens, adjusts, and supports me in a way that keeps me motivated and confident. In terms of performance I’ve gone from 3.99w/kg to 4.2w/kg during the course of beta testing. Crucially my FTP is equal to my highest recorded which was 3 years ago. Not bad for a 42 year old. I’m excited to find what further improvement I can make before my A-event in 4 months’ time.”
