I wish there was a place to also set goals within the app.
Yes, I have my spring A and my fall A event, and yes, I have supporting B event(s) but how cool would it be to also say, “I was to be at 280FTP by this date.”
I think the new TR AI could take that info and lay out the plan to make that happen. I could see the AI showing different options when choosing how aggressive the plan is going to be. Like as one slides the curser down the line from least to most aggressive it says “goal reached in 27 weeks” move to most aggressive “goal reached in 16 weeks” kind of thing. Still keep the verbiage about “based on your recent training patters we recommend a less aggressive plan.”
The idea here isn’t to change the adaptive AI but rather to accomplish secondary “feel good” goals alongside ones events. I think this could also be a constantly moving target. As one hit their workouts nail their nutrition and recovery the AI updates the calendar where it’s notated as a green day as the day they’re pacing to hit the goal 280FTP. Conversely as one fails workouts, has poor sleep and maybe even have a sick day or two the green goal day on the calendar gets pushed back.
I just know that sometimes dangling a carrot will make one salivate. and being able to tell my buddies that my FTP is 280 has a bigger wow factor than simply saying I raced a local fondo and finished 82nd out of 350.
