It won’t be these but the triathlon plans feel like bike plans without much thought given to the running and swimming. And even if they don’t prescribe resistance training they need an option to make some of your weekly workouts resistance training and account for that in the weekly hours and fatigue.
They must have a lot of difficulty making plans or recommending training for anything that isn’t a bike workout where they have the power data.
They don’t need a coach, but I’d love it for workout creator. It seems like the intervals, the recovery, the duration or something is just a little bit off and I can’t get the workout I want. And I don’t feel like constantly building workouts in training peaks.
Maybe so. I tend to not do the workouts because they’re often so weird and overly complicated. I was thinking more like having the option to ask TR to schedule a 4x10 threshold workout and it’ll simply schedule it - maybe with some feedback or other options.
So I should caveat my previous comment. I would definitely like the “give me a 60 minute 4x10 Threshold workout with 2 minute rest intervals on Tuesday” part.
I just wouldn’t want the Strava style, “you had a hard workout and worked out harder than your non-hard workouts” kind of feedback.
TR, please understand that I’m not going anywhere if you don’t tease new features. Don’t get me wrong, I love the features when they come. AI FTP detection is truly game changing for example. Just don’t feel the need to tease it; we know you’re working on cool new stuff.
Also, when you do release a substantial improvement - like picking V02 workouts that are challenging but doable rather than whatever arbitrary number my PL has degraded to - let us know! (I don’t remember an announcement on this one). Letting us know is not admission that you were doing it wrong; it’s confirmation of constant improvement.
Third, and I’m probably in the minority here, but I won’t complain if a new feature release doesn’t work 100% as intended. Some of us have enough experience with TR to grasp 98% of the benefit of a new feature even if some part of it is a little wonky. Months of delay in exchange for minor fine tuning doesn’t seem like a good trade-off.
Big disagree. Ship quality, and take the time to do it right. The current landscape in tech is to ship, ship, ship and very few are taking the time to ensure their products work.
The audience of TR is much bigger than those of us on the Forum. We’re the ones who would be able to understand that a feature is at 98% and understand what the missing 2% means. The ‘less involved’ folks who just use TR without reading the extras and being behind the scenes (us) expect a polished product. I’d hate to see a few examples of 98% complete software causing issues for the majority of users and hurting the reputation or effectiveness of the platform.
He says things like “What you could do is, oh, you don’t have that feature yet.” I find it a bit annoying, either keep quiet or tell us what’s in development.
He pretty much said what one of the new features is on the last podcast… I could be reading between the lines wrong though so I wont speculate and say what I think it is (not wow exciting but a good improvement.) I’ll be surprised if its not what I think it is… how its implemented and what other features there are is the interesting bit to me.
