I wish I had snagged a screen shot of the survey to see all the options again. Maybe someone else has it or TR can share the options.
Iām curious to re-read them, since I was smashed the 2 times I had it and donāt remember all the choices. I canāt even remember of its a duplicate of the Struggle survey or something different.
Iāve actually not marked any workouts as all out yet. Theyāve all been well within my wheelhouse and Iāve only been served a handful of stretch workouts early on. Everything since has been produtive or achievable. I wonder if the survey provided after marking all out depends on the difficulty class of the workout. For example, if I do a Breakthrough and mark it as all out, would it give me a struggle survey? What about stretch? Presumably, there are times where all out makes sense for those difficulty classes, right?
I definitely think it would serve struggle if you rated an Achieveable or Productive workout as all out, but I donāt think it should serve struggle every single time all out is marked.
So, I havenāt paid too much attention to the AT thread as I wasnāt in the Betaā¦until now!
Apologies if this is buried in previous posts, but when first starting up, Iām presented with the option of keeping my existing plan or starting anew. What has been the experience of those options? Was the new plan radically different than the plan you were on? I have been using an updated plan (with the progression levels), so I assume keeping my existing plan will keep me on my current build phase, but now become adaptive. If I start a new plan, can I back date it so as not to restart in the Base phaseā¦
Just had weird experience. Had an Anerobic 5.2 workout (Joe Devel+2) that was classified as breakthrough for me. Surprisingly it actually felt pretty easy, but when I finished TR said that it looked hard for me and asked why it was so hard. I just skipped this as I did not feel like it was hard at all so didnāt think I could accurately answer this question. I couldnāt seem to find a way to answer the normal survey about how hard it felt and still canāt find it now. It then suggested adaptions which resulted in upcoming vo2 and anaerobic workouts easier, which I didnāt accept. my Anerobic level stayed at 1 despite easily completing this 5.2 level Anerobic workout which seems strange. The only possible explanation I have is that I had to get off trainer as there was an issue with my baby I had to assist with for 20 minutes or so while I was halfway through workout. Does TR maybe consider this as a failure?
Just got access to Adaptive Training. Question: is there a way to limit the length of workout per day? I canāt do more than 1 hour Monday-Friday, but have unlimited time on most weekends. The current adaptive plan keeps suggesting 1:30 workouts during weekdays.
Has anyone seen any adaptations for endurance workouts? Iāve progressed my endurance level fairly significantly in the last few weeks and my future endurance workouts havenāt changed at all. Iāve seen consistent adaptations to the upcoming threshold and VO2 workouts, but endurance is completely unchanged from the stock plans
By memory, Iām pretty sure Nate or someone from TR did say the system can see long pauses.
Iām not in Beta so donāt know how to find it, but I think thereās a way of saying āno, I didnāt failā. Iāve seen Chad McNeese and others positing about it, so hopefully one of them spies your post.
Are your endurance workouts in a recovery week? My experience has been that recovery weeks donāt get adapted at all regardless of whether the PL is higher or lower than the scheduled workouts.
I had an estimated TSS based on HR from a workout I did on my MTB which doesnāt have a powermeter so itās certainly part of AT at the moment. I had to raise a bug about it - the code barfed because Iād put my date of birth in European format.
So I got added to the beta about 2 weeks ago (just after I did a ramp test). 3 questions/ observations since Iāve had it that might be worth looking into.
my ramp test was an increase in FTP of 6% but the levels in every domain suggested Iāve gone down in score from endurance to anaerobic. Obviously this adapted my plan which Iāve not failed a workout since. Iām guessing the consistency piece is great but it has confused me as to whether I could/ should be doing (albeit marginally) harder workouts?
I use my phone to train and must have accidentally skipped forward to end a workout without meaning to (it was a āstretchā sweetspot set that should have boosted my progression) and I couldnāt āundoā the early end even though I went back and duplicated the workout to complete the scheduled workout. Is there a way to restore this (it was there previously and happens all the time as I sweat pretty heavily.
I tried to switch todayās workout to outside (and I picked a more intense alternative) which has been pulled from my wahoo but I canāt seem to be able to get AT to recognise it and amend my adaptations or comment on my progressions (I did the RPE version with HR as a second guide as this bike doesnāt have a power meter).
All in all itās very exciting and I certainly feel more confident that Iām working to my own capacity and progress but itād be cool if someone could look at this so far. Love what TR stands for.
I would definitely say the 20 minute break is why you got that survey, especially if it occured during an interval set rather than a recovery period in the workout. Thatās a really big amount of time to recover, and could be why you felt the workout was so easy.
