I think workout levels will give you all the relative difficulty information you are looking for, though they could use some fine tuning with the help of AI.
Progression levels, with their formulaic decay, certainly aren’t accurately telling us what we can do. If they revamp them to show what the AI would recommend as a workout on that day, then they would be much more helpful.
So I did a 50 min continuous effort at 99% of what it thinks my FTP is, and I marked it as moderate and still didn’t think my FTP is set too low. I thought for sure that would trigger it to go up.
I know I can change it manually, but I’m curious how it will attempt to adapt. I have time! I also know it will eventually catch up….
Correct. All good natured fun. Love @Jonathan and the whole crew. Very excited for this update - looks like a big one. Congrats to everyone who’s been involved.
Jonathan responding on Christmas Day is pretty incredible. You can tell how excited TR is about their product. Their support is also the best, and I can’t wait for the update.
On the announcement thread, @CaptainObvious (# 56) & @traget (# 57) pointed out that HR data & data from wearables were poo-pooed on last week’s podcast. I also think it’s unlikely they’re part of the roadmap. (My guess is that the placement of that podcast was to tell us so.) TR is totally in a position to investigate data from wearables (with participant consent to collect) but I’m guessing that they trained an AI on a subset of it & found no meaningful correlation to performance that they could not already predict from the data that we’re knowingly providing, or that the participants could not have told them subjectively.
