There have been rumors, not-so-subtle hints, and plenty of feature requests over the years touching on different aspects of what weâve been building here at TrainerRoad.
Today, weâre thrilled to finally announce Adaptive Training!
This is an entirely new foundation of TrainerRoad that uses machine learning, science-based coaching principles, and our unprecedented data set to give you the right workout, every time.
Adaptive Training does this all through taking your performance, life, and goals into account, intelligently adjusting your training to help you get faster.
Adaptive Training is aimed at solving problems like:
- Having an easier time with one training zone compared to another
- Feeling like the Ramp Test doesnât work for you
- Feeling like you just arenât good at a particular training zone
- Missing workouts and wondering what to do next, whether itâs just a few workouts or multiple weeks of training
Weâre talking about this in detail on our podcast now if you want to check it out!
As of today, Adaptive Training is in closed beta and we will be progressively adding athletes who register for priority access at www.trainerroad.com/adaptive-training. If youâre not a TrainerRoad subscriber, you can sign up for updates if youâre interested. It will still put you on the access list too, so if you do subscribe, youâll retain your beta registration.
As aspects of Adaptive Training are ready to be moved out of beta, weâll roll out new features to all TrainerRoad athletes, so we can bring you all the benefits of Adaptive Training as quickly as possible!
In the meantime, you can also dive in over on the blog to learn all the ins and outs!
