Quick update guys.
I wasn’t going to bother replying after I saw some of the usual ‘helpful’ comments as I really can’t be bothered with it anymore. However I feel it would be unfair not to follow through after highlighting the platform’s shortcomings.
Contacted Trainerroad support and they replied swiftly that I hadn’t actually filled out a post-ride assessment thing and that was the problem. They provided a link to fix this and I did and sure enough the plan adapted itself (again) to something much more sensible and in line with what you’d expect.
Before I get set upon again by forum users please read the following!
- I absolutely did fill out that post ride form in the first place, marking it as ‘too hard’ or whatever.
- Obviously the adaptive training (which apparently is in beta, even though its being advertised hard as a finished product) bugged out big time at this point.
- Trainerroad support was very helpful in fixing the problem.
- I had a similar issue with my Trainerroad workout on Saturday, where it again didn’t log my post ride response and I had to shutdown the app then go back into the ride in question and fill it out a second time, which worked.
This adaptive training is interesting but it’s definitely a beta product. I was surprised to find it doesn’t use heart rate data at all as I’d have thought that was almost entirely the whole point of it all.
