AI Training - Will it work?

whether polarised, pyramidal or a SS only plan are best for a given athlete

I asked this in the other big thread. Nate responded, but didn’t quite confirm that AT will be able to provide guidance on the best training intensity distribution for an athlete.

Original question + response.

Yes and No. We do have our FTP prediction give some people higher FTP predictions on lower volume plans (but not all people). That part isn’t currently built into the plan builder flow. We need to do more validation of our prediction and increase accuracy. There’s currently not micro intensity distribution built into AT. We think we need the qualitative survey data before we do that with ML (and we might need additional data like HRV or resting HR). But…AT also reduces the intensity for m…

Follow up question.

It would be interesting to see if, for example, there are certain athletes where a LV plan plus 2 endurance rides a week results in higher FTP (or other relevant performance measure) than a MV plan. Maybe some masters athletes may fall in this category?

IMO, getting the right TID is more important than tweaking intensity of individual workouts.
