- Note that Custom Workout Levels are NOT working properly. They often give elevated PL values that are likely to incorrectly skew your PL’s upon completion. This is a known issue that they seem intent on addressing, but it means that use of custom workouts presents a problem within AT if you are relying on the PL and adaptation suggestions.
- That may not be an issue since you are working with a coach, but worth mentioning since you noted the impact to your PL based upon the results of this workout.
- No matter what you see in your workout, Nate said they have ways to see those coasting and pausing breaks compared to the real workout time. So they should be seeing and evaluating the workout based upon the real work you did (or did not) do with respect to work and rest points through the workout.

Seems to me a “5 - All Out” would have been more appropriate considering the issues you had (cramping, several breaks, etc.) But that is based upon my take on the ratings info we got via Ivy.
- Notably the “pull out every trick in the book to finish” aspect related to the breaks.
-
Choosing 5 leads to a follow up survey, where you answer why it was so hard. I don’t think we know the precise impact of this selection (since it may depend on the 2nd half of the survey), but it seems likely to stall and not apply PL changes in at least some cases.
-
That may or may not be appropriate to stall PL’s in this case due to the Custom issue above, but it’s likely important from a basic concept standpoint related to AT.
