You do realize TR has had a PDC for like forever? TR just calls it Power Records under Career. Pick the dates, and PDC you have

There are multiple reasons. One is because of the scope and breadth of the new features. We will have an onboarding flow for the many new features, but athletes do skip them 
It makes it much easier for athletes to use the new features if they understand what they do beforehand. Baring any calamity or outstanding issues when we say soon, we mean very soon.

So if I have a planned week and then do a outdoor unstructured ride that I can’t link the adaptations don’t count (I think 
) also only if I mark it hard will it change a workout planned the next day or if I plan a outdoor unstructured ride for a Friday say and then have a sweet spot session Saturday it will stay even if I estimate a tss for Friday.
maybe I’m over thinking but I don’t think I would be in best situation on Saturday and would probably impact real progress? Maybe.
To be clear this is a “me issue,” not the design of the plan. It would give me workouts like Wellpinit & Mahan (for example). I just prefer simple workouts when I’m pinned, less thinking the better.

I personally got burned out from TR mentally by seeing over -unders every base, build and specialty.

Despite all the new features, I don’t see any claims that the new AI training platform is more effective than the adaptive training approach. There are reports that the new platform is more likely to select the “right” workout, but what is “right” is measured by the athlete’s subjective opinion. It’s a big leap to say that doing workouts that are more often subjectively good will change performance outcomes. Maybe that’s coming after the beta finishes?
The teasers also don’t mention any support or integration for weight training, heat training, running, sleep/HRV/RHR (why can’t we connect our wearables to feed this information to the platform?), lactate testing, or custom zones (still stuck with FTP-derived 7 zone model?) that are pretty much standard in modern performance cycling. I really hope they develop a product that supports these aspects of training.

A follow up question. Will we get an email notice if we’re accepted in? I’d assume so, but don’t want to be in a “you know what they say when you assume” type situation. 
I’d also guess when @Brany said “very soon” and the fact that @Jonathan said Nate will give more details in the next podcast, that probably means a light rollout starting early next year. And depending on how that goes, then more and more waves, each likely getting slightly larger. I remember hearing them say when they were rolling out Adaptive Training, they were doing it in waves.
I’d think it was random, though they may also have a certain percentage (probably a large percent) each wave of people that meet the criteria that they are looking for.
my feeling is this is even more overcomplicating of something that is relatively simple. for me training can easily be broken down into a few things a) building endurance and volume b) building TTE c) increasing aerobic capacity and d) sharpening anaerobic capacity (and I guess sprinting, which I don’t care about lol)
while I know athletes are different, at the same time I don’t think we’re all unique snowflakes needing hyperspecific training and constant adjustment on the fly.

Almonds consume one gallon of water per almond. Make sure that you don’t refuel using almonds.

They’re not using LLMs.

I use LLM for my work and daily, but it does amaze how we have gone from “Save the planet be, recycle, turn your heating a lights down or we are all going to die shortly” to “build data centres, more power, build datacentres …. MORE POWER”

For the most part, they’re different “we”. I’m in a more liberal area of a red state and there is a lot of pushback on approval of construction of data centers.

I’m near some datacenter projects too, my electric bill is up 50%.
Glad I could sponsor some billionaire’s yacht/this generation’s Idiocracy.

Don’t want to derail the thread but I live in Florida, far from a “liberal” state.
There has been a lot of pushback for these data centers, especially in the city I currently live in.
So I wouldn’t put in a red vs blue whatever you are box.
Floridians are getting sick of everyone moving down here and plowing all the land that’s left. I could dive deeper into that but don’t want to derail the subject.

If you look at the image in the first post, you’ll see a new feature “Dynamic Endurance” being trailed, which seems like it’s progressing out endurance duration… See also the short promo here at 1:34, “Dynamic Endurace… Your rides extend as you get stronger”: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LfLkL8wl0HA
