A View of Your Training Future 🔮

One of the big challenges facing athletes is understanding how today’s training choices will shape fitness in the future. Move or shorten a session, add a big ride, or miss a day and a rigid training plan can feel like one uncertain decision after another hoping for results. That uncertainty creates second-guessing, lost momentum, and less improvement.

That is why we made the TrainerRoad AI Simulation Window.

The Simulation Window gives you a live, 4 week view into your training future while keeping daily choices simple. You can see how changes to your calendar, like swapping a session for a big ride, affects the next 29 days: 

  • Watch your future workouts adjust to accommodate the ride. 
  • See predicted FTP adjust as you train.
  • Understand why a session is recommended by how it is likely to feel for you. 

When you push training harder this week, you also see how the increased training load affects recovery needs in the weeks ahead, so progress stays steady instead of fragile.

Predicted Difficulty

Not knowing how hard a workout will feel or why it was selected for you makes it difficult to understand your training recommendations. It leads to second-guessing, poor preparation, and a higher chance of bailing on your training.

We made Predicted Workout Difficulty to address this.

Predicted Workout Difficulty shows how a workout is likely to feel for you before you start it. With Predicted Workout Difficulty you can better prepare for efforts and understand the recommendation. 

Real Life Flexibility

Plans flex with you when life happens. Move a session, add a workout, or drop in a big outdoor ride and see the impact immediately. Your plan reshapes around recovery needs and keeps the next best steps clear.

Meaningful Control

You can see how today’s efforts will affect your future training and make the best decisions to keep you moving forward. Suggested plan adjustments can be reverted at any time, giving you the information, and control to train productively how you want.

Better Preparation

When a workout is expected to be hard, you can prepare: dialing in nutrition, hydration, and mindset. When a workout is expected to be easier, you can know it’s intended to be that way; helping you push harder when it counts and protecting your progress when recovery is needed. 

Trust In Your Plan

Understanding why a workout is recommended builds confidence. If your schedule shifts, you can easily pick from the improved alternate workouts menu, to find a workout that fits your time and energy while maintaining your plans trajectory.

What Athletes Are Saying About the Simulation Window

We’ve been testing it with real athletes and here is what they had to say:

— — —

“I found the flexible AI window to be the most valuable. Watching how my workouts changed based on the work I was doing allowed me to understand how each session was meeting me where I was at. Whether I was doing a Threshold session or an Endurance ride, I always found that the AI recommended workout was exactly what I needed on that day and the dynamic changes were spot on.”
— Sam L. Beta Tester 👩‍💻

“Because of the training simulation window, I now feel more comfortable adding off the bike workouts and knowing what impact it’ll have on future TR workouts.” — Chris P. Beta Tester 👩‍💻

— — —

“My training plan included much more ambitious, yet doable workouts. The estimated difficulties were spot-on and really helpful when adjusting the training plan to my circumstances—trying out different options for the next four weeks and seeing how they compare. If I know that a workout is meant to push me close to the limit, I feel less bad when struggling with it—because that training session was meant to be a struggle. The same goes for sessions that were intentionally easier.”
— Max L. Beta Tester 👩‍💻

Together, these stories illustrate the same outcome: less guessing, more confidence, and progress you can feel and measure.
