If anybody can log those workouts in a week there should be a prize!

Interesting, I would have pegged spanish Needle higher and anaerobic is a relative strength for me! Still, 99 repeats is certainly different from 60 sec max

Has there been any talk of TR sharing a list of workouts with their rating numbers? This would help a bunch of people make manual tweaks to our schedules while we await AT access. It might keep Chad Mcneese from having to constantly provide this info on random workouts people ask him about.

This would be nice. It was accidentally live on the website awhile ago, before the AT announcement - see this post - New workout zone caption?
Maybe it wouldn’t be too hard to reinstate it. I think there was some talk about certain features being rolled out to everyone before the full thing is available.
I believe that is the plan. They’ve mentioned the release will happen in stages. So the new career page, workout levels and all the other bells and whistles won’t come all at once. I suspect that means we’ll get the career page first with workout levels either at the same time or very shortly thereafter. But that’s all a guess on my part.

Do you currently struggle with your plan? If you don’t I wonder if you’re not an ideal candidate for beta testing. TrainerRoad need to get as much data from testers, and if you’re somebody that already completes plans well and consistently then I’d imagine they’ll gain less of an insight into your progression than others.
I’ve been a TR user for years and signed up for the beta during the live podcast. Only if I’m sick do I miss a workout which is usually about once a year. I used to only do low volume plans but the past 2+ years I’ve managed medium volume - the addition of outside workouts has really helped this. But because I complete 5 workouts each and every week, rarely have to decrease intensity (unless one of the harder vo2 sessions later in a plan) then I honestly don’t think AT would change that much for me, hence I’m not a great candidate for testing. I’ll probably regret this if I now get bumped down the queue and wait longer for access but if I’m not really going to help improve the product as quick as others I’m fine with that.

I’d forgotten all about covid - it’s all about adaptive training.

Career page is mentioned in the beta app a few changes ago so it must be there when you get into the actual AT beta.

Yeah I think all the features are available if you are in the AT beta, but in terms of a full launch, it sounds like it’s going to be a slower feature-by-feature roll out if you don’t get a beta invite.
Which is exactly what a couch should be assisting you with. AT is under-priced if it delivers that, which I have no doubts it will do.

I agree. I have only done one full “work” week in the AT so far, but the adaptions applied are notably better than the “default” TR plan that was in place.
I have a recovery week, then a new Ramp test and the first week of my official Build. I am interested to see how that and the following week work. I am hopeful the plan will change to allow me to successfully complete the 3:1 schedule compared to my prior 2:1 that was needed to follow the default TR plans.

3:1?
3 workout days and one off?

Yes, 3 work weeks to 1 recovery week, is the typical Build plan layout.
I adopted a 2:1 ratio that worked far better for my aging body.
I have a similar one for Base that was actually my entry into adding recovery weeks and altering the main plan layout.

Just an update on how I’m using progressions in a mini block I’m doing. Last week I did Monadnock -1, rated a 5.1 VO2 workout (had 2min intervals at 120%), and today I did Givens -3, rated a 5.5 VO2 workout (2.5mins intervals at 118%). Got through it, the hurt really started to happen on the last interval. I think there’s something to be said about taking a workout that is rated slightly above the prior one and pushing oneself to finish, as opposed to trying to get through a more highly rated workout that is a big leap beyond prior efforts. So, at least in the context of planning my own workouts, I’m really digging the progressions

Saw an e-mail from TR this morning. Got really excited.
Saw it was their weekly newsletter. Got bummed out.
