As someone who does outdoor workouts with a Garmin, itās working great.
My only suggestion would be to add the indoor blue bar chart to the outdoor workouts so when it recommends a change you can see the new workout details. For example AT recommended Buffalo -2 for me, but I canāt see what the actual workout is without going to the workouts page, searching for it, switching to outdoor and then and looking through the intervals on the outdoor version to see what AT is recommending.
Oh thatās a good idea. All the outdoor workouts do show only the text-based intervals. For the most part they are exactly the same as the indoor counter part so looking at the indoor workout intervals will suffice, but some sometimes they are pretty different from each other and in that case having the visual display would be awesome!
There has been quite a bit of talk about outdoor workoutsā TSS and the increase in workout time for them elsewhere on the forum. Several users have suggested they just make the indoor and outdoor workouts 1 to 1 rather than 1 to 1.5.
Separate note from the above:
This is very cool and exciting! Thatās a lotta workouts to add.
I remember them stating you could indicate if you have a vacation or break in training. Is there a way to do that or do you just skip the workouts and let the plan adapt?
Ahah! I finally got to see the hidden 5.4 value for VO2max that support told me about.
When I went in to do that I was showing a VO2max level of 6.9⦠but according to support, it was actually 5.4 following a failed session. Whatās odd is that Iāve passed a VO2max before today (a 5.9) and it didnāt increase.
Not gonna lie⦠Iād rather have not increased my level! Here come the adaptationsā¦
Edit - Holy crap at Brasted +1⦠where are my breaks?!?
As always, if youāre still experiencing an issue from the list above (or in the updated original post) that should be solved, contact support@trainerroad.com.
Youāve got this! I had it on my schedule a few weeks back and I really surprised myself with completing it. I did not at all think it was something I could possibly do at the time, but I was proved wrong. Hoping youāll have a similar performance outcome.
One of the things I am most interested in with regards to AT is the ability to choose a different duration workout and keep it within the correct progression. For example, change a 1.5 hour ride to a 1 or 1.25 ride when time is an issue. I believe that Nate had mentioned this functionality at the initiation of all of this but I havenāt heard anything since. Is this something that is a later feature or something that is being tested within the current beta?
Itās in place for beta testers. Just open the workout and look at the Alternates section and change Duration as needed. It focuses options within the intended workout goals for the original one scheduled (Pic from web for ease, but I think itās possible in the app when loading the workout too).
Stupid rain trying to bork my progress, weāre on vacation and I brought my trainer but thought the rain would wait until the afternoon. I was wrong. So I did 2/3 of the workout, the latter few mins in a downpour
Now the rest of the week is being adjusted downwards but Iām not going to accept, would have finished today just fine without the rain
It appears I have joined the āsurvey response not savingā camp this week. Have been prompted for the survey each time a workout finished and have entered a response. Later when I go to my career page on the web, it says itās missing. I then enter it and it seems to stick.
Mentioning it since itās a change in behaviour for me. Previously, had no issues with survey responses saving.
