Are you in Specialty? That block generally doesnāt have ramp tests in it from what Iāve experienced.
Same here. Had the problem last evening; completed the survey, then went in to change my response and spinning wheel. This morning survey still is not loading.
On a positive note, last eveningās PL increase was only showing on the web career page last night, not on calendar or workout card. This morning itās showing on all three

I have submitted the below to support, posting here because Iām curious if anyone else is experiencing this
Completed a workout on the windows application this morning and was not prompted with a survey upon completion.
No big deal, closed the app, went over to the web browser to add a response and it showed up as āCut shortā. To be clear - the workout was not cut short, and was completed in its entirety
I clicked the survey response in an attempt to update to the correct response, but no survey comes up. When I click other recent rides I am able to modify the survey response for them, but for this ride I am unable to get the survey to pop-up
Will see what support says - but am interested to know if its a one-off with this ride or something that others are experiencing
The other issue I noted was that I did not get the struggle popup this morning when I answered the survey. I wasnāt sure I struggled so didnāt think much of it. Later checked and saw it was āmissing response.ā Answered the survey at that time and got the struggle survey. So something is definitely wrong. Iām running windows version and it updates automatically.
Thatāll be it!
cheers.
Iāve deliberately NOT done an FTP test in this block as I want to see how the PLs progress up - if I did one now my FTP will go up (currently set to 275, I believe a test will put me in the 280-285 region), and that would drop all my PLs back down to some degree (I donāt really need to do a test to set my FTP pretty accurately anyway).
Neat thing today, I reassessed the workout I did Tuesday based on reading the screenshots above and downgraded it from 3 to 2 - all my upcoming Threshold workouts effectively got pulled a week closer with next weeksā being dropped and replaced with the week after etc. I know this is what AT is supposed to do, but itās cool to see it in action.
You donāt need to test. If you manually adjust your FTP upwards, AT will reduce your PLs, adapt your plan, and you can start building back up again. I just did this on Tuesday and would say that AT is a little over aggressive in adjusting the PLs, but hopefully a couple stretch workouts will have things back on track.
Sorry for the trouble, please check in with support@trainerroad.com about this. Thanks in advance!
Support got back to me with the following reply
I see what you mean that the workout has been marked as cut short when it shouldnāt have been. Taking a look around, it seems that this is an issue that weāre aware of and are working on finding a fix for. That being said, I donāt have a timetable on when a fix for this could be ready. =(
Unfortunately, based on this, we arenāt able to change the response, and this is also why you werenāt prompted to update the response since the response canāt be changed.
Is there a suggestion to get around the sync issues, should I just not bother setting a survey response on the desktop app and then sort it out on the website later?
You think that TR has a buggy AT? You think you understand how the system works? Then thereās more to come! Then youād better start following this and similar topics:
https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2021/08/05/the-ml-uncertainty-revolution-is-now/
And good luck with all that!
Thatās probably the way to handle it for now. Either update the survey on mobile (Iāve had no sync issues with Android personally) or on the web for now while the support team fixes the desktop version sync problem.
Just leave the app open for 5 minutes after you enter a survey response and itāll sync over
Iām not sure thatās right, as Iām now missing at least 5 survey responses and surely theyād have synced over when the app was open for later sessions?
Once you close they are lost if they havenāt been sent over. Try leaving it open after saving the response and see what happens
To further add to this, at the top of the calendar page is a little refresh button. When it is syncing, it will be spinning. When it stops spinning, you should be safe to close the app as it should be synced across devices at that point.
I never close the app and it doesnāt work. So, I think a fix is still necessary.
So going from 4.2 to 3.3 in sweet spot after 2 weeks is normal? Seems kind of excessive looking at the differences in workouts. With this decay rate you pretty much will always have inaccuracies because there are too many zones to target so if you focus on endurance your SS/Vo2 zones will fall grossly, switch focus to Vo2 and what happens to endurance and tempo? You donāt just lose the fitness
I still think the decay is incorrect, in my uneducated Iām not a coach opinion.
Surprised to see AT schedule a STRETCH workout for Thursday after Tuesdayās Ramp Test. I wouldnāt think AT would schedule stretch workout and this is a first for me. Well, I finished it and marked it Very Hard as it was. I am rewarded with new adaptions to even higher level VO2 workouts going forward
.
Anyone else have AT schedule stretch workouts?
Yes. Earlier this season when I was in base and build, I would get stretch workouts on Thursdays and sometimes on Sundays. The rest of the workouts would either be in the achievable or productive category.
