My understanding is you rate the work you did and TR will take care of the rest. TR will see that you had to lower the intensity so you just tell it how hard or easy you found the worout. Dont over think it.
If I have to modify the workout in any way (lower the intensity, take a break, skip an interval, etc.) and I couldn’t have finished it otherwise, I rate it “max effort” and let the algorithm lower the difficulty of future workouts if necessary.
I’m sure they did a podcast on it and the mantra was ‘rate how it felt and not to over think things’, the system will know you had to lower it. At an extreme if you lowered it 50% and it felt easy, that’s how you should rate it but the ai will know you lowered things by 50% to do so.
