@Nate_Pearson Will this feature also help in the opposite way and show where an athlete could maybe train more (assuming they have time)?
Is the aim to always have the calendar green or is having some amber and red days expected, but only extended periods an indicator or burn out?
If my calendar was green week after week could that indicate I could safely add extra training?

Man, it’s like you’re designing this for just me! I have a definite tendency to overdo it. Like, badly. I swear I am trying to behave these last three months. So far so good. But looking forward to more feedback like RLGL!

I’m really curious about how RLGL will work with TrainNow. What will it recommend on a red day? Nothing? Recovery ride?
RLGL name: Yeah Nah

Adaptive Training. Should be a feature of. One could assume part of AT is to endure I don’t dig a hole. But maybe I just lack creativity!

Appreciate Nate letting us all play along. This is fun. Thanks.
After understanding it better courtesy of this thread, I agree with you, seems like it’s a component within AT and whatever else TR is cooking up.

you mean marketing help from people who pay to use the product, rather than having pros who market for a living? lol i mean, it’s fine to play along but that’s what it is ultimately
Traffic Light system, by far the best idea (IMHO).

Don’t underestimate the talent that hangs out on these boards.
While working for a small design agency in the 2008-2012 timeframe, I wrote a toss away line for an upstart bike manufacturer that became their de facto brand tagline for a while.
Not touting myself as a brand genius. I got lucky in that particular instance. But this is a pretty smart group around here.

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 don’t think it needs it’s own brand, just incorporate it into AT.
Keep it simple.

These will probably all be bad but for names…
Readiness
Intensity Indicator (II) or just Indicator
Balls In or Out (maybe not)
Red Light, Green Light is also good (just long)

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.

Nothing wrong with long names. Red Light Green Light says what it does. I like it as it is.

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.”).
