after +5 years with TR is maybe time to move on. i’ve lost faith in the platform a little, and only use it for the calender, choosing workouts, and tracking time. the PL’s are off, because one good workout does not mean you are there, its one workout. the AI FTP may be a consistent gauge, but it its…

Hey everyone, Thanks for all of the feedback in this thread. There are a lot of thoughts floating around here, and there are a few topics in particular we’d like to touch on. It sounds like one recurring concern is how TR isn’t capturing training outside of the plan. This has been and still is a …

I posted about this elsewhere but I recently dropped TR completely after a bit of a longer journey. In 2021 when adaptive training was released, I did the program exclusively and while I really liked the progression, at the end I was left a bit let down as I wasn’t really any better in any area of t…

I can see why you guys feel this way. Personally I think TR is better than ever and for a lot of people training, say, under 10 hours per week, it’s the best thing going by far. It’s come a long long way since over the years. But it’s hard to be everything for everyone. I would like to make a reque…

@cagiva_wmx125 if your training is stalled out any sort of change can sometimes break the logjam. If you want to try something new, you should! Remember, it’s supposed to be fun. Something different might be just what you need.

as a 52 yr old with a few years racing under my belt, i just need something a bit more nuanced. i’m not hating on TR at all, it must be 8 years or so a subscriber. the training info on line these days makes it easier to structure your own work with more confidence in the plan, and i’ve just discover…

In my opinion, everyone will outgrow TR plans at some point … the median time seems to be about 3-5 years. Now … I don’t use TR plans anymore, but I still use the software because I really like using the platform for my indoor training … and I can build my own workouts. That said, if I we were tur…

Such a training app already exists for less than half the price per year :confused: [image] JOIN cycling app Training Hi everybody, feels kinda weird to ask this on the Trainerroad forum, but I’m really curious. Laurens ten Dam has this new podcast about training, which …

Also, why many have such high expectations of outdoor PLs is beyond my understanding. So much development went into something that IMO that doesn’t even come close to addressing the issues raised here already. I would have preferred TR had invested to turn into something like join. This would be a…

@jz91 it’s the only hope some people have for TR being (or beginning to be) what they actually need/want it to be, so they hold on to it? re: outdoor PLs

TrainerDay offers a competing product at a lower price point as well. Some riders in the fam prefer that option because you can ask it to fill your calendar with a plan that provides almost zero >threshold intensity. Ha! :smiley: I’m not a fan of that approach for my own training but it’s better…

That is the main improvement I would like to see to TrainerRoad. Being able to specify the default availability for each day in the week and being able to override for the availability for specific days (e.g. taking the day off this Thursday so adjusting the availability to max, not able to ride thi…
