Reading this thread reminds me of the beginning of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where everyone is searching / waiting (i.e. checking email every three hours) for a golden chocolate wrapper (i.e. email from TR saying youāve been admitted to the closed beta).
Did they cancel the new adaptive training thing or something? Iām not seeing it anywhereā¦
Are you talking about the main forum discussion or something else?
Are you thinking about TrainNow instead?
AFAIK, it should still be in the beta apps, and open to everyone.
Maybe clarify exactly which you are looking to find and we can direct better.
AT is in closed beta. You have to request to join at Cycling Planning, Training, & Analytics - TrainerRoad. Not sure how long it typically takes but I requested on Thursday and am not āinā yet. Itās only been two working days, though.
The big thing they had a 2 hour podcast about, sent out mailers about, etc. Clicked the little linkie thing to give email address for the new system, and have gotten no response whatsoever, and the the app is also exactly the same. Same plansā¦no adaptive training or anything.
Soā¦are they not doing it anymore?
I think itās in closed beta, so not open to everyone.
TrainNow is in the iOS and Android Betaās which are open to anyone who wants to sign up. There is a thread about each in the forum. The AT is in closed beta.
LOLā¦so all thisā¦and then everything is unchanged for everyone they sent these mailers and links to? You have to be part of some super secret club or something to use the features they went on and on about? I think it may be time now to just give up on trainer road. This could drag on for years lol.
Yes, they are doing it.
They are in a āclosed betaā right now, and will be adding people that requested access (Via the link mentioned and shared) as they get on top of any bugs.
It was not a full, open rollout. This is a phased release, similar to how they rolled out Plan Builder in steps, adding smaller groups over time before hitting the full, official open release.
You missed the context. The part you quoted follows the āTrainNowā portion of my reply, and IS open for anyone on the beta apps.
Adaptive Training is the restricted one. I could have been more clear, so sorry for the confusion.
I applied to be part of the beta testing, any idea when we hear if we get to do it or not?

No idea at all. They will invite people when TR is ready for the next step, and they donāt state timelines for unknowns like this.
Weāre progressively adding new athletes to the priority access group as we continue to gather feedback and address any potential issues we come across. Working through the list, weāre jammin to add as many athletes as possible as quickly as possible! Youāll be notified when youāre added, along with some instructions on how to submit feedback and report bugs should you encounter any. 
I donāt fault TR at all for announcing that this is in closed beta. Any software needs to go through testing, and they want more users in the system to do the testing. Nate literally talked about this topic for about 15 minutes in the podcast, debating when it is appropriate to give information on future stuff. Iāve been using the TrainNow feature and found it to pretty useful.
Weāll have some updates coming on the closed beta probably later today, and then the plan is to keep everyone abreast of things weekly on the podcast.
Thank yall this thread is HUGE.
Exactly. They worked on it 3 years non-stop, but after reading all the āCan you please let me inā-comments, they just said: āwell f*&$ it, we do 100% Baxter training plans insteadā
I wonder if the ML will eventually be able to figure out a fitness decay rate. You come back after 3 weeks and AT has something at your current Progression Level.
Decay rates are currently part of Adaptive Training! After a break your Progression Levels currently decline so a return to training is more appropriately tuned to your fitness.
I think all this is pretty frustratingā¦ very exciting to hear the new features but then nothing changes. I actually stopped my current plan waiting for adaptedā¦somehow it killed the motivation to do the āoldā stuff.
Maybe it is just me, but I think I would have preferred that they wait with the announcement until people can actually use itā¦well I do some more Zwift then for the time being
