I see a lot of discussions on here about FTP estimation and pricing, but I am surprised that no one is talking about the other feature that @Nate_Pearson mentioned on the latest podcast. This is the ability to tell Plan Builder what days and how much time each day you want to train and it will crea…

I get your point. I was more aiming at that every day is different and alternates offers you a way to address that quite easily.

My long term dream would be what Xert kinda sorta loosely almost does: you set a goal of hours/week and a rough ramp rate of increased XSS (TSS). Then when you do a workout it recommends your next workout based on how hard the previous workouts in the week have been and how much XSS you have left in…

Love it - particularly if linked with FTP prediction. I could indicate available time to train, the system predicts a benefit and then tells me how that benefit would change if I adjusted available time up or down.

The other thing that would be great would be to have the ability to add an unstructured ride (think group ride) into your calendar. For example, the ability to add an uns…

It would be cool to say combine two workouts into one instead of AT trying to find the one that optimizes an energy zone but at a longer or shorter duration. I don’t find myself having enough awareness of my upcoming week to know for sure how I need to modify any workouts but when the day comes I h…
