Adaptive Training Closed Beta Update

G’day @IvyAudrain

Quick fire question.

If I want to add some endurance to the end of an intensity workout on the trainer with AT do I ?

  1. end the workout and start another dedicated endurance work out
  2. use the add extra time buttons at the end of the workout.

Does AT see these two scenarios differently for the purpose of adaptions?

I noticed a few days ago that the problem has been solved. Either because I’ve flicked the switch a few more times or something on TR’s side. Now I don’t have the option to answer the survey anymore which seems to be correct.

Alternates in AT

Ive scanned the thread and see that sometimes people are selecting to do an Alternate, but I tried this yesterday and could find no option for Alternates in the browser iPhone or iPad apps.

I used Train Now and selected an alternate to that.

Any idea why I’m not seeing alternates? Is it because they are set to Outdoor?

I’ve been having issues with Alternates as well in the Mac app. I keep getting an error when I click on the Alternates tab.

I reported this to support a couple days ago so they’re aware of it on Windows at least.

Hey good question! AT will recognize both, so it really depends largely upon how much endurance you want to add. If you want to add an hour of endurance for example, hitting ‘extend cooldown’ a few times doesn’t make as much sense as opening a new short endurance workout on its own.

Thanks @IvyAudrain, love it when the answers are short and to the point.

Why is that? With a new workout you will go through a warm up again. Ok hitting 10 minutes 3 or 4 times is a nuisance but it keeps it all as one workout.

I am not 100% sure but I believe it is because that workout is a set time, etc which is recognized as that block of time and does not see the extend cooldown as part of it. When you start a new one it sees it as another workout.

Likely because TR AT ignores warm ups and cool downs. So, if you plan to get some lengthy extension added (I’d say 30 mins or more) you are better to have AT “see” it via a separate workout vs extending the other.

After 4 weeks i am back to the plan…maybe…

TR didn’t schedule a ramp test as it did before …

Should I still do one?

I think I will … But just looking for feedback

Good to know. I end up using this a lot to do more when I have time - I hope that this is eventually fixed.

Also, if you just add say 3x10 mins to the cooldown its down at say 50% which is a bit too easy so a 30+ min endurance ride is much nicer :slight_smile:

The Workout Intensity adjustment (and the faster action via continuous press) is a quick way to set any desired wattage in any extension. So the low default power target is easy to overcome.

Question: I am in the AT Beta. Is there a way to see how you scored the previous workouts. i did some last week and marked them easy or moderate, and I am repeating a workout this week and want to make sure I judge it consistently.

Thanks

Yeah just click into the workout on web:

Can see the same if I tap through on Android too.

When you say “just click into the workout”, I am on the web and not seeing that. I select the workout from the calandar, then select the workout itself, from the pop up window, and I am in the workout detail that shows power levels and intervals. But at the top this is all I see… (see screenshot)

I see “Success”, but not “easy, moderate, hard…” etc. Even though selecting the ? tells me that it is a survey response and I can change it up to a week later…

TR survey response

That was over a week ago and you can’t change that survey

Huh - maybe the response hasn’t been saved? What happens when you click on “Success”? As that’s where it says “Moderate” on mine and if I click it, I can change the response.

I know some platforms seem to be having some issues saving the response (from this thread, looks mainly like the desktop apps).

I’m assuming it was done through one of the TR apps?

I do not want to change tthe survey response. I merely want to see what i responded at the time.
