TrainerRoad - Feature Requests of what athletes expect / want in the future

maybe another good one would be self prescribing a yellow or red day. Sometimes i’m absolutely knackered due to any number of factors, health, sleep, training fatigue, inadequate fuelling the previous day etc. being able to mark out the calendar with a yellow/red day so TR adapts TN options and subsequent workouts to take this into account.

:sweat_smile: On which platform is your TR app running?

iPhone 13 mini with iOS 18.6.2

How about a button in the app where we can give @Jonathan a mild electric shock when he trolls us on the podcast?

I would like to get feedback from TR based on the results of my workouts and events.

I’d also like to see modifications to my taper/specialty weeks leading up to my events. For example, if the machine learning part of TR can see that I perform better with some fatigue as opposed to being too fresh, then I’d like that to be incorporated leading up to my A-events.

For example, I felt great at the end of my last build block. I did a recon ride up a 1 hour climb and felt really strong and had good numbers. The following week was a rest week, and I repeated the same climb during an event and the legs felt kinda weak. My numbers were lower - although I had a faster result due to riding in a pack and better weather. I’d like for TR to analyze this and then modify my plan leading up to my A-event. That would be very cool.

I’m pretty sure I’ve always gotten this since ~2019 when I first signed up. The sound changed slightly at one point, but I’ve always had 3 beeps at the end on MacOS and iOS.

Is everyone definitely talking about beeps at the end of a session - not the beeps between intervals.

I don’t have end of session beeps on PC

never recall seeing it on PC and having recently gone to android app version I don’t think I have seen it.

Usually Training peaks, garmin, strava, etc all go nuts within a few seconds of it ending if anyone wants a temp work around.

Also if you are in ERG you can definitely feel it sometimes, depending on how low the end of your cool down is vs gearing etc.

I get three descending beeps at the end of workouts on Apple Ipad.

Thanks to the feedback here, I can confirm that I get workout end beeps (the sad, drooping ones) on iOS, but nothing on MacOS. So it sounds like it’s more of a bug report than a feature request.

Three beeps for three seconds at the end for iOS. I wish it were 5 because sometimes I don’t remember to extend the workout until I hear those beeps.

Yep, I definitely get the end of workout beeps on the Android app.

A button for “please schedule a ramp test for me at the optimal time during my current training plan”

Clicking on the “Workout” elapsed time or the “Ends at…” time toggles to show the remaining time.

User story: a family member asks me how much longer will I be cycling for in the cellar, and I am running full screen on my desktop and so can’t see the current time and have to figure it out from the tiny workout progress bar. And anyway often just prefer to see 10 minutes to go.

A way to override tss when needed.

Such as when a power meter has connection issues

Turning off (doesn’t mean you can’t use it) AIFTP detection will put ramp tests back into your schedule at the appropriate time.

You can still chose to just run it that day and sub the workout, but it would put the ramp tests back in.

It just took me 15 minutes to figure out why I couldn’t find the “alternate” option for a workout. Because it was an outdoor ride. Now looking in the forum it looks like it has been asked before to be able to find alternates for outside workouts… Is there a reason this isn’t happening? Or at least add to the instruction page that “indoor” has to be selected :slight_smile:

I’ve just shared this with the team. Thanks for keeping this one alive!!

In the top right corner of my app it says Workout end time Xx:xx or some other verbiage. It’s there regardless of being in full screen or not. I’m running a MacBook though.

Yes, my feature request is to be able to see (or toggle to see) the workout remaining time, not the workout end time. In my example below, my youtube entertainment is running full screen on my Macbook Air and there is no clock visible. So the "workout end time” is useless to me without a current time to compare it to.

So when I want to answer, “how much longer will you be?” I have to try to calculate it roughly out from the timeline bar. It would just be much easier if, on clicking the elapsed time it toggled to remaining time, for example. Remaining workout time is common in other training apps.
