Adaptive Training Closed Beta Update

If you do any VO2max workout properly it’s going to feel very hard on whatever assessment scale you use but it seems that the correct response to completing such a workout is “Moderate”!

Hmmm, here is the updated info on rating a workout:

AT: Easy vs Moderate vs Hard vs ... [Pass / Success Survey Responses]

Update! We’ve added more information on surveys to the ‘How to Use Adaptive Training’ article, I’ll post it here as well! How to Rate Your Effort Easy This workout felt easy and required little effort or focus and felt non-taxing. (For context, this should feel like a little bit more than a recovery ride, ie you could do this again now and could pass it with no problem.) Moderate This workout was somewhat comfortable but required some focus to complete. (This was a normal feeling worko…

My coach prescribes vo2max workouts that are either controlled or max repeatable. He is expecting me to say it was hard or very hard, which maps to:

• 3. Hard
     This workout required effort and focus and was challenging to complete.
     (This will feel tough and you’ll probably look forward to this workout ending, but if there was another interval, I could have done it.)
• 4. Very Hard
     This workout was very difficult to complete.
     (ie if there would have been one more interval, you wouldn’t have been able to do it.)

From where I sit - the ratings are NOT supposed to have the middle option (3) be the center of the bell curve. If AT is thinking like a coach, most of the vo2max workout responses should be 4 with some responding 3 (could have done another interval) or 5 (couldn’t finish the intervals as prescribed).
