Does anyone actually ever use the All Out or Max effort survey option? I don’t like that it asks me why it was “too hard”. Too hard would mean I didn’t finish or I had to modify the efforts to finish. I find it especially odd when I’m rating my effort in a race. Last week I got the worst Track Hack …

I think you’re over thinking it. Just pick whatever makes sense to you and move on with your life. The Ai will figure out how you respond.

Probably not worth losing too much sleep over. Do outside races even affect adaptations? I’m going on what I remember of the official descriptions: Very hard for me is I did the workout as prescribed, no dialing down the watts, no skipping intervals. But dang, I couldn’t do another. If I had to c…

I’ve wondered this. This helped me: How to Rate Your Effort Easy This ride felt easy and non-taxing, requiring little effort or focus. You could repeat the ride and pass it without issue. Moderate This ride was somewhat comfortable but required some focus to complete. You felt a little challeng…

When you tell it that that ride was a walk in the park or whether you almost died. :grinning_face:

This has been shared on here previously and I found it a huge help when using Trainerroad Very similar to Saddlesaur’s post above whose post includes a little more detail. [TR RPE Question]

IMO, these definitions should be on the screen where you check off the option at the end of a workout. On the phone app you can tap and display the definitions, but not in the PC app. I printed this out and keep it on my trainer desk for reference. FWIW: I posted similar TR guidance which is bas…

That’s basically how i’ve always envisioned the breakdown, I’ve just found the “too hard” questions after a 5 odd. To me, “too hard” means I would have failed. If I finished the workout as prescribed then it wasn’t “too hard”. If I’m dialing back the intensity, or skipping bits, extending a rest val…

I find that I can throw in some backpedals without getting called out, so I use All Out for those times.
