Oh yeah. I do pay for this. After suffering I just get off the bike and think to myself it’s just wonderfully painful to go deep it must be free.
Thar said, I’m just not sure if you are using AI why wouldn’t adaptive training adjust my workouts for me? Or at least suggest other workouts? It is adapting! It’s kinda of what I expected from the new AT when it was rolled out.
I think they’ve said previously that the majority of cases they’ve looked at the issue is users not following the plan - doing extra rides, subbing workouts, increasing FTP above result, etc.
“Trainer Load”
By Trainer road.
Or Burnout Meter or Burnout score
This has surely come up before but has a feature where you hook into whoop to better understand fatigue ever been something considered?
Red Light Green Light? This sounds like a good game, I am so in
I’ve filled in the form. I think that the system may have helped me a lot as a newbie to structured training back in Sept/Oct last year. It will be interesting to see.
I’d be open to being a beta tester and/or have my training history analyzed.
I don’t think I have ever burnt out completely, but I have had long bouts of illness. We have two, soon three small kids, and after e. g. a business trip or so, I’d get sick, which led to long interruptions in training (4–6 weeks).
You’d be interested to know that this term exists also in other industries. We use it for tools in the manufacture of semiconductors. If the product is within spec, you get a green light. I just used it and nobody batted an eye or asked me for clarification.
It probably helps that machines have a literal traffic light on top of them to indicate their status.
Red light/green light might not be super elegant to say and likely not trademark-able, but it is super easy to understand and you can make it into a verb (“I’ve been red lit.”, “I have been given the green light.”).
I wonder if RLGL is running in the background of my account. Yesterday was a rest day and trainnow recommended endurance and today it’s also recommending endurance.
That’s never happened before, well I’ve only noticed it will recommend me endurance after a hard day but I’ve never seen it recommended on consecutive days.
Check your web calendar if you haven’t already. If they’ve switched it on in your account (assuming you filled out the form), I would expect you’ll see the new UI bits on the web calendar…
That said, I’ve seen endurance WO’s pop up in train now 1 and even 2 days after a hard session (I’ve been seeing this for a while now when I’ve looked in TN in the past). I suspect it has to do with the intensity of said workout AND perhaps how you rated it in the post workout survey (rated easy/moderate is 1 day after… hard/very hard is 2 days after??? This is speculation, of course!).
I’m very excited for this and would love to be a beta tester. I’ve been flirting with xert simply for the fact that it analyzes outdoor rides. Part of riding a bike for me is getting outdoors and exploring. As much as I want to improve my race performances and ride faster, being locked to a trainer to have my results analyzed is probably the reason I’ve never made huge gains with TR. Gains… but nothing huge.
I think you want to avoid anything that implies burnout. With that name you create an association between TR and getting burnt out, which is the opposite of what they’re trying to do. The youtube comments brain critique is 'oh, TR was burning so many people out they had to make a tool that tells you when you’re getting smoked so you stop doing their plans"
You gotta highlight the readiness aspect, not the fatigue.
