For the foreseeable future, we’re using data to make incremental improvements to our training plans. We’ve got the data! We’ve got year and years of high quality, accurate data on how our users’ complete TrainerRoad workouts. We know their age, their watt/kg, how often they’re training, their hist…

Thanks for responding. Could you clarify your typo? Your response says, “It’s not find to find that point though.” Did you mean not hard to find that point, or not important to find that point?

Could you explain what you mean by sandbagging a workout? I really don’t know what that means. And how would heart rate show it? If someone’s heart rate did not get super elevated, would that indicate they were “sandbagging” a workout? Or do you mean if the heart rate trend does not follow the v…

I think this makes sense, but in my opinion you have to be careful not to over-fit your ML model. You don’t want to optimize for compliance of the workouts only, as this will result in “weaker” workouts in the end. The final goal is to make people faster (I guess that those people who are getting fa…

I love all that you do but it’s still really hard as a coach to use TrainerRoad. I like many of your workouts, but I also prefer to create my own workouts for individual athletes. There is still not an easy way to get a workout into TR for my athletes. It’s a multi-step process. I understand you gu…

There are also likely a lot of riders for whom the ramp test isn’t optimal - I tend to wuss out on it for whatever reason. The last time I took the ramp test, I ended up using an FTP 25 watts higher for SSBMV1 and completed every workout. YMMV.

Glad to hear TR is continuing to work on improving their current product. My personal experience is the training plans are too hard for me. I can get through 1-2 weeks and then I become derailed. I typically drop 1 of the 4 hard workouts and replace it with easy endurance and that seems to help m…

@jasonaytes , you may want to consider adjusting the training plan in the following way. It shortens the time between recovery weeks and may help you hit the workouts as intended. [image] Splitting SSB 1 into 2x3-week blocks Training Nate was kind enough to respond to tha…

Are you taking the type of trainer and mode used into account when you look at why a failure occurs? I ask this because it took me two years of using TR and occasionally contacting Tech Support before I figured out that my Kick’r Snap was part of my issue with some workouts, especially short V02max …
