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…

I feel this could be just the tip of the iceberg… with all this information about athletes you could extract lots of interesting insights like: what training plans / workouts are providing the best improvements (is always harder better?) what workouts are selecting the guys with better power numbe…

I have researched this. Maybe I’m not doing it right. Can you link me to data that shows that cyclists who do 80/20 will perform better than a “Periodized Coggan” approach? If you could link me to data that shows that elite cyclists train this way that would also be helpful. This is probably not…

I have a really dumb piece of data I want to see. When users self select workouts (i.e. outside of the plan) what is the spread of selections in alphabetical order? Reason being is that when you use the filters, you’ll get everything starting with “A” first by default. I have a feeling that this m…

We do this! We look at first workouts and “Abbot” was too high up in the list! This is why you now see the Ramp Test pinned to the top of your workout lists. There’s more improvements around this that we want to do.

Thanks Nate. No avoiding the pain :wink: The joy of beating a PB whether an all time PB or a course PB etc makes it worthwhile. That and being able to compete and race others makes TT’s very popular over here.

Welcome changes. As others noted at first a part of me was afraid that the plans would just become a bit easier to please towards the average user.
