šŸŽ‰ šŸŽ‰ šŸŽ‰ Introducing Adaptive Training! šŸŽ‰ šŸŽ‰ šŸŽ‰

As someone who does outdoor workouts with a Garmin, it’s 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 can’t 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 that’s 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 workouts’ 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! That’s 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?

Add an Annotation to your calendar, select the correct option for your needs, and TR PB should recalculate if you choose Time Off, Illness or Injury.

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. What’s odd is that I’ve passed a VO2max before today (a 5.9) and it didn’t increase.

Not gonna lie… I’d rather have not increased my level! Here come the adaptations… :grimacing:

Edit - Holy crap at Brasted +1… where are my breaks?!?

You’ve 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 you’ll have a similar performance outcome.

Presumably this Annotation Notes/Illness/Injury stuff is only available on the Beta and new AT? I cannot see it on a normal Annotation yet.

Yeah, very likely AT beta access specific.

One question, do you know if you do a race or Ride on Zwift does it has any effect in the adaptations?

Not yet, but in the future we’re planning to incorporate any ride, from any source, into AT’s progressions.

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 haven’t heard anything since. Is this something that is a later feature or something that is being tested within the current beta?

It’s 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 it’s possible in the app when loading the workout too).

Stupid rain trying to bork my progress, we’re 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 I’m not going to accept, would have finished today just fine without the rain

What survey did you get and how did you answer it?

That seems likely to affect what, if any, adaptations are offered.

I did outside workout so I answered easy when I got back on the website

The survey was just the standard easy-all out and not asking why I didn’t finish

OK. Maybe that is because it was an outside workout then?

Seems like this would be a case where the ā€œIncomplete / Early Finishā€ survey would be more appropriate.

It appears I have joined the ā€œsurvey 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 it’s missing. I then enter it and it seems to stick.

Mentioning it since it’s a change in behaviour for me. Previously, had no issues with survey responses saving.

No update on the number added? Though I guess tht would only be useful if we knew our spot in line
