Will the AT algorithm provide any recommendations on changes to training intensity distribution (I.e. beyond just recommended workout intensity changes within a given plan)?

E.g. “based on your performance and reaction to past workouts, we recommend you do less threshold workouts and more endurance”. (I’m using this as an example, not intending to restart the POL vs SS debate).

Maybe a roadmap item if not in the current algorithm?

Yes and No.

We do have our FTP prediction give some people higher FTP predictions on lower volume plans (but not all people). That part isn’t currently built into the plan builder flow. We need to do more validation of our prediction and increase accuracy.

There’s currently not micro intensity distribution built into AT. We think we need the qualitative survey data before we do that with ML (and we might need additional data like HRV or resting HR).

But…AT also reduces the intensity for most people out of the box. When you’re in that natural “hard” or occasional “very hard” on your hard days, and the easier days feel easier, you have a lower chance of getting broken down.

But…there are no guard rails in place if you wanted to put your three intense days back to back. We don’t stop you from doing that ATM but that’s definitely a goal.
