Speculation thread - what feature(s) is Jonathan trolling us with?

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.

I think it will a predicted FTP at the end of training blocks…….or some sort of future FTP forecast.

Now what would make you think that? :rofl:

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….

INTERESTING podcasts with Nate actually participating. The drab and uninspired podcasts of late are truly sad.

Now people has gotten their golden ticket… feels like an omertà’s kicked in and there ain’t much speculating round here no more.

Guessing that means the earlier guesses were accurate.

Waiting for the podcast with @Nate_Pearson . I was hoping TR would have prerecorded that episode and shared for Christmas.

Trainerroad AI - I guess the cat’s fully out of the bag for all now. I’m glad it’s stated as coming soon so hopefully that means very soon

To me the Trolling title was just some good fun and I hope no one at TR took offense to it.

Well it was a good thread.:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

This would be phenomeal if it also included integration of sleep and recovery data from sources such as Oura.

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.

This may have changed, but as far as I know his title is Marketing/PR Manager. I mean no disrespect when I say it’s literally his job.
