TR seems more interested in posting on instagram how great AI is instead of fixing this bug that has been around for weeks now
We’ve got a team of people on this issue. ![]()
Do you think it’s the group posting on instagram is the same group doing the software engineering?
Is this bug also affecting outside rides planned as TR outside workouts or just Solo/Group unstructured rides outside?
It’s where the company is directing their reaources, their software has been flooded with bugs after bugs and there is no denying it! In the meantime they love to post how great AI has been, go spend the money on making a reliable software, this bug has been around for weeks now, any 1/2 decent engineering team will not keep a bug afecting customers without fixing it for this long! I’d be ashamed of… their ceo loves to show up to talk about how great AI is, but never shows his face to explain why they have a POS software. Maybe they should have assigned all those folks working on zwift integration to make sure AI was reliable before forcing everyone to use it
After trying a few different ways to use AI with my training, including TR, I’ve come to the conclusion that there is a long way to go. TR, for me at least, wasn’t really adaptive enough, in that if I was showing as fatigued it just changed workouts to endurance instead of rescheduling them to the next day when I was showing as fresh, I’m sure that if you followed the plan perfectly you’d see some gains, but my life and riding doesn’t work like that so I gave up.
I will say, it is a lot better than the Strava/Claude integration which launched this week, it told me I needed to work on my FTP as my best 20minute power, which it said is a proxy for FTP, was only 145, this is despite doing a KM style test on Tuesday when I held 251 for forty one minutes
.
I have had some success with using one AI site that I discovered via intervals.icu, I’m not using it to follow a plan, it will do that but I’ve found some of the workouts a bit strange, instead it’s been quite good at helping me interpret my metrics and post ride analysis, other than that I’ve decided to go back to self coaching, seems to be less baffling and certainly less costly financially.
I’m sure in time all these apps will improve, and I will try TR again in the future when they make changes, but for now I’ve become very wary of anything which is promoting itself as AI.
I suspect that’s is a limitation that will remain as when we build plans we say what days and times we can do so couldn’t push it out by a day. When I see that I manually move it to the free day.
I guess it could have a prompt to ask if you want to move days but there’d still be some interaction and not purely automated.
I think the issue with it also pushing a day is it will start impacting your fatigue for your other scheduled workouts. You can manually manipulate your calendar to accomplish this, and really only works going into a rest week.
Intervals M, W, F. Push Monday to Tuesday and now Wednesday gets reduced.
I believe TR has said a lot of times it’s better to skip a workout than try and cram it into the schedule.
Yep.
Kicking the can down the road doesn’t really help anything.
Pushing everything out one day when you miss a workout changes a lot with your training and the structure of your week. If you miss two workouts, you might as well start a new plan at that point. ![]()
If you miss a workout, just keep moving forward. Hit that next workout with what you’ve got, and worry about the future, not the past. ![]()
Agree if you are fatigued I always find it better to just take a rest day
Yeah, I do agree.
I’d generally only push it back if it was the last workout before a couple of days off; for example my Friday workout went red and I’m not planning to go outside on the weekend then a day off to recover then a workout, and another recovery day isn’t likely to get you in a hole but pushing my Tues to Weds would then run 3 days back to back plus potentially the weekend would def start digging.
