Yes I did that today. I’d Ericsson+2 planned (well pushed back from yesterday) so rode out to a nearby town whilst doing that which took just over 90mins. Stopped and saved that activity, had a coffee then started up the Garmin again and rode home. When I got home I clicked on today in the Calendar and added a workout (with an outdoor option) that sort of matched that ride. (Actually quite hard to do as the first twenty minutes was a climb of up to 20%! then a long descent and undulating until another climb to get home) With that in place I clicked on my return ride and associated it with the newly added workout.
I think thats it - needs to be an indoor workout, which is fine. Just managed to bodge the association and get a PL jump.
Probably more relevant when doing tempo and SST outdoor rides and my occasional hill-smash vo2 work.
I’m not confident we will ever see an effective analysis of unstructured outdoor rides in the near future, but hopefully something useful will come from it for indoor riding.
FWIW in my own testing of this - and I’ve tested this again just now - it makes no difference whether my outside (unstructured) ride is associated with an Inside workout or an Outside workout, or even whether my survey response was “I did not pass”: so long as an association is made between my ride and a workout I receive the PL credit.
AT won’t work on the referral code trial correct? Like I signed up for AT a while ago, and got the invitation. Just signed up with a referral code because I’d like to try it before spending any money. But when I click the link for AT, it gives me an error and says it’s invalid. Do I have to pay for a month before AT will work? I’d rather try things out for a bit before spending money, especially with AT.
I really just want to know if that’s the reason I’m getting an error trying to enable AT. But also, I’m not going to pay for a month just to try AT. But if I was able to use AT for a month and liked it, I’d probably stick around. Seems like the trial should be for trying things out since I got the invitation to join AT.
Maybe I didn’t get my point across or I wasn’t blunt enough, but IMHO AT is still buggy and incomplete enough that it is at least as likely to scare people away from TR, than to bring them in. I assume TR itself feels the same…hence the closed beta.
So if you feel TR isn’t worth it now, AT won’t change that until they get it more flushed out.
So I was added to AT awhile ago. Played around with the UI and created a plan which filled my Trainer Road calendar. I never intended on following that plan (I have a coach) now and asked support to remove me from AT so others who want it could take that spot.
Since then, my dashboard has all of my levels at 1.0 (despite doing 14-16hrs/week none of which are TR workouts). But then today I see my levels have varying numbers. Something has changed. Non TR workouts are now counting?
Odd, VO2Max is my highest at 4.8 yet I haven’t done a VO2max efforts in months.
Just thought I’d report this. I hope this is the right thread.
If I build a plan based on a single A event, and then go back and add a few more B events in the lead up to that A even, Will Adaptive training automatically readjust the plan to account for those B events?
Has there been any comment from TR about the decision to display people’s real name (vs. username) on the new (AT) Career page? @IvyAudrain?
I ask simply because it’s a change in behaviour from the old one. Clearly, we can all make our accounts Private so that other users cannot see our Career page, and hence our real name, but this change in behaviour may possibly catch some people out, “leaking” their name before they realise the change has occurred…
Providing the scope for people’s names to be revealed, without simultaneously defaulting people’s accounts to Private, seems a bit “cavalier”.
I know about the requirement of needing to use plan builder for AT to adapt your plan accordingly.
I recently took a short break from the bike while traveling, and would love to jump straight back into build, but can’t simply add the build block due to the constraint mentioned.
Is there a reason this is not listed on the ‘Known Issue Section’.
I think, what you need to do is set the start date of plan builder into the past, I recently wanted to do this, so set the PB start date to 30th Map 2021, and then the build section starts this week
Technically yes - this is Plan Builder rather than AT functionality, but yes it should work. I found all it really does is replace the workout and possibly add an opener for Bs though.
