Will it use heart rate as a signal when determining that a workout is too hard?
Because we have multiple inputs that are proxies for fatigue & freshness: power stability, heart rate (potentially including HRV), and even cadence changes. And Firstbeat seems to know how to grab breathing rate from heart rate, so that could factor in at some point as well.
Iāve seen people muse on the Reddit Velo subreddit on whether failing an interval / going to failure is the only way for it to recognize that youāre pushing too hard; realistically, running ragged on heart rate and your cadence going all sloppy could be signals it could detect too.
Super excited to see the first iteration of this, thrilled itās here, and am going to love seeing where it goes!
no surpriseā¦has to be an offering, but I like what Nate says about bringing other stuff. Being able to do block periodisation etc would be great, and it would be excellent to see results from all the data comparisons
Most ML specialists would suggest that several input variables (HR, RPE, breathing, HRV, power, cadence) are superior to one. In this case, I would imagine that RPE can be weighted quite heavily, but if theyāre leaning on ML, I wouldnāt expect that to just stay with that factor.
What sort of email did you receive when signing up? I just received an email merely acknowledging that I will have priority access. Was yours different?
Thatās what Iām thinking, also the plan has been working fine for me.
But Iām pretty stoked to have a even better personalized plan based on my goals.
I think, IMO, we will still set dates for races/goal events and then have same outline of periodization. Then while doing each workout they will adapt to how youāve been performingā¦ idk
This is terrific news and I canāt wait to try it out. Hope the Adaptive training will be able to take into account Masterās riders (like me) who may need a bit more rest than someone younger.
On another note, Dylan Johnsonās critique of the TR plans might have been quite fortuitous in terms of timing with this announcementā¦I wonder how many new views he drove to TRās website, where someone initially thinks āTRās plans suckā only today to be presented with āTRās plans are adaptive!ā
Am I right in assuming that this will handle the āmastersā plansā? I.e. suggest recovery weeks as appropriate, suggest a slower progression, recognise lower Anaerobic & VO2max levels and similar age related issues?
It will respond to every athlete individually. So rather than put you in a āmastersā bucket, it looks at YOU and your performance, and trains you in a way unique to your needs.
I am interested in this. However, as a multisport athlete, I can only assume this will not be something that I will be able to utilize fully, as I am not confident that a āfull analysisā is possible right now.
