I updated to latest MacOS beta app today and noticed in release notes that there was mention of something new called TrainNow.
If you click on the Workouts section in left hand menu of app, TrainNow feature is across the top menu bar (upper left side of screen).
It looks like TR is recommending a variety of workouts for the day based on your training history.
Is this possibly Thing #1 or Thing #2 ?

Iâm not on the beta app and I saw this a few weeks ago when I reinstalled it on my Windows PC, although I donât remember if it was called âTrainNowâ.
However I donât have the section in the app now, probably itâs only in the beta.

Does this message pop up on a daily basis even when you have a prescribed workout from a plan in your calendar?
Exciting stuff⌠This is a great feature indeed, great extension to plan builder.
Itâs such a neat way to advise us what to do when we find ourself with sone extra time on our hands and arenât maxxed out on recovery!
TR is becoming more and more awesome, congrats to the team

The way to get to this is click on âWorkoutsâ in the left hand nav of the app, and then select âTrainNowâ on the top menu - see the below screenshot from within the MacOS beta app:

Iâm extremely curious on if it is going to be basing this based on what they perceive as
preferences (i.e. suggesting workouts similar to those youâve done in the past)
strengths (i.e. suggesting workouts youâve excelled at in the past)
weaknesses (i.e. suggesting workouts that work energy systems you havenât been focusing on)
goals (i.e. taking information about A events and comparing your workouts to those and shoring up gaps).
Could range from a game changing feature to something that is kind of nice if you havenât built out a calendar but meh otherwise

I agree. Iâm very interested to hear TRâs recommended use case(s) for this tool. Iâm hoping they speak to it during next weekâs AACC podcast (if not sooner on the forum). Iâm definitely intrigued by it!

At least for me, it suggests one workout for each of these three categories - so three total workouts:
Endurance
Climbing
Intensity / VO2 max type workout

This is great. I am on low intensity plans but sometimes I get an extra day and I love that TR can do the thinking for me.

Is it on the beta app only as of now?
I downloaded the Mac beta on Saturday or Sunday and TrainNow showed up immediately.
MacOS beta only as of now. Nate says itâs coming to Android beta shortly.
