Does this make Chad the DM?

Amber posted I the original beta tester thread that a workout classification is constant, so your example would be the same for all, what differs is how that particular difficulty fits into your own progression,.

That’s a scary thought. TPK time.

I suspect they’re going to run regressions on these to fine-tune those classifications over time as people with a given progression score attempt them

That was my understanding as well.
The next level of questioning and where people will complain and argue… How did TR come up with the ranking? ie. “The system says Tallac +2 is a SS 6.6 and Hunter -1 is a SS 6.4, I think Hunter is harder”. I can already see these post coming up…
TR: We asked 100 people which workout is the hardest… This was our ranking system!

Keep in mind that a big part of this release is the “100 million rides.” Those rides are literally the sweat and tears of the subscribers that you feel are being “subsidized” by newer subscribers. The reality is that trainerroad is what it is today and what it is becoming because of all of those early adopters and long term customers, combined with Nate’s amazing team. New subscribers should be grateful, not annoyed.

Perhaps the ranking was already automated…
They already mentioned that the ML system has access to our data… meaning the Adaptive training has already classified you even though you haven’t been accepted into the beta?
If so, it already guessed at your progression and checked your pass score on different workouts… and therefore assigned the classification of the workout. then it bounced it against 100million other riders… and fine tuned the ranking?
Speculation at this point… would be interesting to hear from @ambermalika how the workout ranking was developed.
Drinking potions is dopping

I don’t understand very well in case following a plan… It will adapt and show me workouts options everyday I have a scheduled workout??

This is great!! Thanks for sharing this!
Confirmed that the workout rankings are fixed… as Amber and Hubcyclist had said.
What changes is the Progression Category: “Achievable, Productive, Stretch, Breakthrough, Not Recommended” depending on your Progression Level.
Very cool… I could geek out on all of this data… can’t wait until I am accepted to the Beta…

Honestly I don’t think the product even makes sense if it’s limited to only TR rides. I mean, I do a breakthrough effort on a local hill climb, or TT route, or ZRL race, but I have to come back and do that same effort on Carpathian Peak +2 or it doesn’t count? No way.

They know that, and that’s why Nate stated it as a high priority for them to finish and include. Sounds like they have a foundation and a bit more work to finish it.
This is all still beta stage, and not all features or functions are in place yet.
ETA: Mentions of unstructured, outside rides are around 1:20 and 1:57 in the cast.

And even once it leaves beta, this is just the beginning,

Yes, this is the idea.
First step is to pull in the sleep data and see if it changes the likelihood of you finishing a workout. If that happens, we can adjust the workout/plan to have a better outcome.
