Still not there, even after an update and a reboot. App version 2024.5.2.92286
I see you naturally took an easy week after that, too!
This is funny :-D.
But being serious RLGL is saying to take a rest day after your 130 TSS ride after 3 months of almost not training. Makes sense to me.
Sorry, did not mean shifting as “gear shifting” but as cadence drifting during intervals. And yes, not all HRM provide respiration rate. But point remains: those were only quick examples of hidden variables in your ride data that might not be immediately obvious. I am sure, ML has discovered lot more them.
Well the plans aren’t designed to burn you out, so as long as you pick the appropriate volume and aren’t adding extra rides or rearranging things you won’t really need this feature.
If you’re self coaching, have a coach, doing extra rides (outside or zwift), changing volumes, doing more volume than you should, changing the days of the week, etc, then this feature will help :-D.
This is a great use case where you can be validated by RLGL with how you feel. Sometimes we just need the permission to rest or do an easier ride.
Personally, I would do the endurance ride it suggests and skip the VO2. You don’t want to end up in a hole. Skipping the VO2 and doing an easier endurance ride will make you faster in the long run IMO.
We can do that. What type of color blind are you? We also added an icon to the upper right for color blind people. Red and yellow days have different icons.
We ran our numbers against TSB and indeed, they are different.
Glad to hear this looks spot on for you!
His volume is inconsistent and “It’s like any slight bit of intensity results in it telling me to take a day completely off the bike!” is not true.
Dezzy, just make your career public and then everyone can see it.
The next key session is only a couple days away, and if you push out a key session, that means the next one will be adjusted.
That being said, we have plans to add some intra-week programing changes. Like if you stack all the hard workouts at the beginning and all the easy at the end. We’d want to rearrange that for you. That work hasn’t started yet though.
As long as you have your hard workouts spread out it should be good.
Yes, totally good!
It will suggest the duration, but you can adjust it if you’d like.
This one is tough. I’d say if you’re eating well, sleeping well, manageable stress; then do the endurance ride.
If you’re changing jobs, moving, having a baby, or other stuff that might make it so you can’t recover as well, then maybe rest.
No, we wouldn’t get that data in so it wouldn’t consider it.
I know, I know. Deep down I know you’re right. Delayed gratification is so hard in cycling!
Ill have someone reach out to you and investigate
As a LV Masters athlete who’s slowly creeping towards MV, I’m surprised by the number of red and yellow days I’m seeing on my calendar looking backwards. Although, the scoring seems very consistent with many of the tougher workouts I’ve completed since Jan 1.
Side note - After repeated explanation, I understand that this is NOT simply TR’s version of WHOOP’s recovery score. But a quick scan between the two doesn’t indicate strong correlation between Recovery and RLGL.
I’m very intrigued by all this. Now please excuse me while I resume trying to overload myself. Lol.
Yeah, I had that planned all along. Festive 500 was my biggest week ever and I knew it would be a stretch and take time to recover from.
Love this feature - the extra nudge to “do the right thing”, which I know I should but occasionally don’t, will be very helpful at times.
Good stuff.
This is awesome and so incredibly useful to me!!
In my case, I’ve known that I push too hard and tip my own apple cart over way too frequently. It is something I’ve been trying to manage better, but I can now look at my calendar full of yellow and red and know I need this feature more than most. As a masters athlete that is 15 months into structured training, I truly need and value the RLGL guidance.
Thank you TR team for creating this feature.
I have protanomaly so I can see these shades decently - but I’m sensitive to color schemes dependent on yellows/reds in particular so I recognize this as something that could cause problems. In particular, text tends to challenging to read on yellow/green backgrounds for me (excel problem mostly)
Appreciate this - but I think (honestly can’t tell, they are harder for me to spot than the color of the days) the icons are also red. Maybe something with a higher contrast?
On a separate note - haven’t looked in detail, but I have about what I expect from.red/yellow days over the last several years (many many yellow days, very low single digit red days). I’ll need to dig in to earlier training to see how it dealt with years where I felt I was over-training. Nice to know the system agrees with my own experience and body responses to my typical weekly TSS of 900-1000.
Sharing for anyone else having issues. That version I posted above was an older version of the app. Support had me delete and reinstall the app. It works now.

2024.5.3.92288
Yesterday and today I am total drained and can’t train, I just know myself to take time off, lack of sleep etc… but no red light detected this. I actually switched my week to a recovery week because I knew id pay the price if I kept to my plan, I got the normal yellow light for Monday.
Food for thought.
