I think the old thread got nuked, seems to be wiped off the forum.

Just finished the video.
He’s feeding it garbage data and shocked it can’t pin down a FTP number. He’s riding like 3x a week and adding insane long rides and shocked when it’s freaking out. Trey is just there to shit on the product as a in person coach. This video is going to kick the hornet’s nest again.

Don’t give these clowns views on YouTube. Watching them is rewarding the worst of the click-bait universe.

There is ZERO chance I go watch them do another review of the same product and give them more clicks “because we decided the last one was inappropriate to leave on the internet”. This is like a musician re-releasing a song with new lyrics because their fan base/politicians complained about the original intent of the song.

Their original video is still there. TR removed the forum thread, not sure why.
This is just an update since November of him using it.
Was kind of funny with Trey talking about how bad of a client Jesse is when it comes to training and how Trainerroad is actually good for someone like him who is constantly skipping, moving, changing workouts.
I do think there is probably a point that it’s hard to nail down some of these outliers who have high FTPs but don’t feed the system any of that data, or be willing to do a 20 minute or 60 minute effort to feed it good data. I think there are some other users who voice this frustration on the forums and there may be some validity there. But as it goes, garbage in, garbage out.
From the comments he doesn’t know about check volume which would help some of his issues when it comes to 3 hour training weeks. An onboarding call probably would have helped him.
Will be interesting to see how the system responds to his Doom race.
His plan was also only 2 months and sounds like it skipped base.

Wonder how long before this thread mysteriously disappears 
It was like one of those passive progressive ads. I watched a bit but it looks like he was rating the intervals as hard and then wondering why it didn’t adjust. @SeanHurley is name dropped, so I assume he knows if he is rating the workouts appropriately.

That is the issue I have. He apparently is talking to Sean but doesn’t appear to have done any of the on boarding work.
I watched it and was just shaking my head the entire time. He likes TR, yet his compliance must be less than 50% of what the plan calls for. No wonder it’s not really working that well for him. Maybe if he had started the plan 4-5 months ago like I think most people would do before an A-race, he’d be dialed in. Also, I don’t get how he needs 2 weeks of active rest before his A-event unless he has a massive training load going into it. Like somebody said, Garbage In:Garbage Out.

I think he’s trying to shed any fatigue he may have. The race is 40+ hours from what he said. 325 miles, 32k elevation. 100mile Singletrack
Hopefully doing some longer rides to prep for all that time on the bike.
Thanks for this, I don’t follow this channel and didn’t like there video style but was curious to see the out come 
Update: Ok this video sucks, I don’t feel like they gave TR a chance.
I see the point of not knowing his history better but the data he’s giving the AI is not 100%.
I don’t get it, he has a bunch of data on Strava.
We seen that TR can train someone riding 12+ hours a week
If you’re going to review something then go all in and give it straight.
I don’t get it, maybe part 2 will be better.

So just your “run of the mill” race that most people are training for out there

One of the replies to the video made a good point — they said the FTP issue probably came down to not having enough data. The Bicycle Station guys agreed but thought that at some point TR should just say, “Hey, we don’t have enough data here, you should probably do an FTP test.” I don’t disagree with that. The thing is, if you’re only doing one or two structured workouts a week, it’s pretty tough for the system to get an accurate read on your FTP anyway.
I also agree with them that a 2–5 hour endurance ride (which seems to be the longest Dynamic Endurance prescribes) isn’t nearly enough for a 40-hour race. That’s a complaint I’ve seen come up a lot. TR has their own take on how much you need to ride versus your race length, but even they’d probably admit that two-hour rides won’t do much for something that long.
At the same time, they’re building plans for the vast majority of users—people racing 10 hours or less, not those doing 40.

Yet another hit piece by “coaches” who are scare by TR’s AI.
They should be banned if they wont use the software properly and then criticise it.

5 hr rides is totally enough for preparing for ultra races.
