It never occurred to me to interpret “set” to simply mean more than one of the interval…blocks?
I have always interpreted “set of intervals” to be more akin to “interval set”. So each of these workouts, Geiger and Baird have 3 “sets” of intervals. Similar to tennis where a set is made up of multiple games.
So in the Geiger example a set would include 1 x 12 (which itself is a set of rolling hill intervals)
With Baird a “set” would be 1 x5 (a set of 5 sprints with rest intervals)
Can TR clarify this for us? This clarification could change a lot of people’s actual training! @Caro.Gomez-Villafane
unless of course I have completely misunderstood you @pcornell
well, since I’m used to the “Chad Chart”, then it is as my first post. So a Geiger “hard” for me would be another 1 x 12. Baird “hard” another 1 x 5 x 1.
To be honest, it’s all gotten pretty confusing between the two charts now. I found the “Chad Chart” to be pretty simple, as I described it, but then I may have even misinterpreted that one. And the “TR Chart” similarly don’t really understand it fully.
I use the blue.
Well this definitely needs clarification then because each of us rating “Hard” would mean entirely different things. If I’m right then you are significantly more fit than the AI thinks you are. If you’re right, then I’m worse off!
I agree with you that it’s the blue, but where I’m confused is that the new scores imply there is zero differentiator in being able to do one or two more intervals now. You can either do the entire set, which is a lot of additional work, or it’s VH. I’m trusting TR and using the new version of the ratings though.
got it, ok. Sorry, I thought you just said “Green” back there.
Ya I agree, it seems like a wide gap between “another whole set” and not. It also very much depends on the workout. Some sets are really long and others not so much. But then I’d suppose the AI takes that into account too.
I stopped paying attention a while ago. My AI FTP prediction changes like the wind. I do all of the all workouts. Nothing changes from day to day. It’s in Beta. I guess it’s just gonna take TR a little longer to figure out.
Honestly, I laughed when I first saw the 12w (4%) prediction increase. It lasted a day then went down to 2w. Now it’s back up to 5w
I was only over by 10 tss, I’m not really sure where it came from. I have changed my RPE to moderate as I now understand that I have been using hard instead of moderate, in future I will hopefully be putting the correct RPE.
perhaps the AI doesn’t even know
moving too fast this morning
