TrainerRoad’s Biggest Update Ever :tada: [TR_AI_PRELAUNCH01] TrainerRoad is about to launch its biggest update ever. This update contains several new features that will help you train smarter, giving you greater insight and more control over your training than ever before. It’s called TrainerRoad…

Historically TR hasn’t worked super well for me, but this new model sounds fairly intriguing precisely because it doesn’t care about that other stuff. It seems logical to try to include as many factors as you can try to build the most complete picture possible, but in reality what that ends doing mo…

The power meter is to measure the work you’re doing. The HR is to measure the effect that work is having on your body/system. They are both valuable over time when you analyze many of your rides against each other. I think that is what TR is trying to do if I understood that correctly.

Heart rate data will help improve workout recommendations, but power data is the primary source for recommendations. If you have the option tracking your HR is ideal. If not, that’s ok.

So excited for this update! Honestly, Adaptive Training has been working pretty darn well for me recently (350 to 369 FTP since mid September), so the possibility of even more improvement is exciting. Might actually get me using a heart rate monitor again. Big thanks to @Nate_Pearson for taking so …

@Nate_Pearson hopefully you’re still in a responding spree or maybe someone else on the TR team could provide input - Does the current system (or will you in the future) have visibility and react to altitude? Assuming you always live and train at the same elevation it would be irrelevant but with th…

Power pedals on the eMTB inbound :rofl:

A definitive answer [image] TrainerRoad AI and AI FTP Detection Yes! Wear your heart rate monitors. When we added heart rate to the model our predictions improved. It wasn’t a huge improvement, just incremental. But it’s still an improvement!

I was using the power readings from a Levo for the short period I had an e bike, do they not all broadcast the power?

I’m on an old gen one Shimano Steps system that doesnt broadcast it. I bought a stages XT crank a couple of years ago (Still got it @JoPage ) hoping it would fit but the pod fouled on the motor. Up until now HR has done a reasonable job however I’m riding the eMTB more and more on endurance days to g…

[image] Nate_Pearson: Yah, I think we’ll generate individual workouts on the fly in the future. Sorry for the super tangent when you are focused on the current release, but this seems awesome. And if you get to the point of generating individual workouts, I would love it if the user could tai…

I do! I thought it had died a few weeks back (turned out to be a dodgy new battery) and was really rather gutted as getting a 165 mm replacement arm is impossible now Stages are bust! Precision don’t do one to fit those cranks. I costed a full drivechain+crank replacement with SRAM XX but luckily fo…
