I want to share my experiences so far with TrainNow. I just started Sustained Build MV. Took a 2 week “break” after SSBMVII and focused on more base/tempo training, including Haute Route in Zwift. I was also dreading the increasing time and intensity of sustained build, which was part of my procrastination; and then TrainNow/AdaptiveTraining was announced. So I’ve been modifying the standard plan, substituting whatever TrainNow suggests for VO2 intervals instead of the standard Tuesday workouts which tack on 15 min of extra aerobic, seemingly just to increase TSS. Trying to do longer Z2 rides in Zwift (literally just a custom workout with 2 hours of 5 min Z2 intervals while I grind AdZ). 1st workout suggested was Grassy Ridge +1 (.85 IF, 68 TSS) which I easily conquered while upping the the intensity to 110%. This week, TrainNow came back with Ansel Adams -1 (.97 IF 94 TSS). This one felt about right, and I didn’t feel the need to adjust the intensity. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/b/4/b4e26bde875f833202416a3a6f06b9c1c17b7619.jpeg) ---

So does train now already adjust for your levels in the different workout categories of attack/climb/endurance? Looks like it has been going well for you. How do you think it would have compared to the normal plan? ---

> [@schmidt](#): > > So does train now already adjust for your levels Yes, according to the TR responses posted so far. It uses the same ML engine as adaptive training. Not using your non-TR workouts/rides (yet), however. ---

TrainNow works outside of plans though, so it doesn’t consider what plan you’re doing or what you have scheduled in the future. ---

I think that TN is only available on the beta version of the mobile apps at the moment. It is in the main version of the Win/Mac versions. ---

> [@JSTootell](#): > > experimental software That may be a slight exaggeration. It’s an open beta, not an alpha or closed beta release. There’s a large number of users running the iOS beta. This being iOS, you do have to install TestFlight to run it, but it’s no more of a resource hog nor a risk than the general release version. ---

Train Now keeps suggesting low intensity aerobic endurance rides and thats all… Anyone else having this problem? ---

I haven’t used train now yet , below is a screen shot of what mine shows: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/1/9/1913571a1dc4a710055a7ebcad6b8ad7552b67df.jpeg) ---

If you’ve done relatively long or intense workouts or unstructured rides within the last couple days, TrainNow will generally recommend an endurance ride. Of course you can always ignore the recommendation and choose a climbing or attacking workout if you prefer. ---

I took a mid season break and had climbing recommendations for 12+ days in a row. Otherwise endurance recommendations. No confirmed sightings of an attacking recommendations.
