Talking with people in the beta and reading the issues and experiences of people on the forum AT is far from fully functional at this point. I’m very happy to let other people do all the dirty work and enjoy a more fine tuned product without having to know any challenges.

AT sounds like the lure to pull me away from Sufferfest, where I’ve been for three years, as has “the other half”. Both annual memberships up for renewal this week. Jump or not jump, based on the promise of AT?

Yeah good point.
Quick question. I did Shasta last week as an outside workout. I followed it pretty well, although my ride was 1:42 in total rather than the 1 hr that Shasta should be. I didn’t get any contribution to my progression totals. As far as I’m aware if you do a TR workout outside, it should count right?

Can’t wait to be invited in, so I can stop complaining about being excluded and start complaining about bugs in the beta.

Exactly. I’m enjoying life with a known service that has been helping me get faster where I don’t have to fill out all kinds of forms and note bugs. You know what, I kind of hope I get pulled in only towards the end and I don’t want to get selected now. (I’m now awaiting the e-mail telling me I’m in this week…)

Now, that’s being Adaptive. You’re not even in the beta, and the training has worked anyway!

Same here, same scenario additional 15 mins for me on a Garmin 935 though… it didn’t count. But I’ve reported mine to support… maybe they’re looking into it.
This might be a know issue listed in “Introducing AT” post:
- Occasionally outside workout outcomes don’t get correctly classified.
Haha same here 
I love Sufferfest workouts, but I don’t want to do them all the time, and they’re not set up all that well to work as training plans.
The bread ‘n’ butter workouts in the main TR plans focus on slowly increasingly duration and intensity. So for example, in the SSMV-1 plan, early on you have Ericsson, 4x8-minutes at 88-94%, then later you get Tunnabora, 5x7-minutes, then Carson, 6x5-7-minutes. Early in the plan you have Mount Field, 3x12-minutes at 85% and 3-min rests, then later Geiger +1, 4x12-minutes with 4-min rests, and the last tough workout of the SSMV-1 plan is McAdie+2, 4x12 minutes with 1-min at 95% and 2-min at 105%.
Each week the interval durations get just a little bit longer, intensity just a little bit tougher. It’s hard to do that with the SUF videos - the workouts are basically fixed.
I use TR as my base, and mix in the occasional SUF video or Zwift race / group ride.

Friend of mine is on a Sufferfest plan. It seemed to start out well enough (noob gains?) but it’s all over the place now.

My scheduled workout for today is showing as not recommended. Is this due to the double I did on Tuesday? If so, in the future will the system provide an alternate recommended workout? Thanks.

Out of interest, what does the career page have your VO2max level at? Also, what was the last VO2max (planned) workout you did?
I just took a ramp test Tuesday and it reset all my levels to 1.0 with my increase (+1%).
Last TR VO2 max workout was too long ago.
Tristan in support chat confirmed that it is “not recommended” due to my ride history and that in the future AT will provide an alternate workout. For now, using TrainNow is the way to go to pick a workout for today.
