Hello All,
I have registered for the beta program but have not yet been accepted in to it. My apps are updated and I have the TrainNow functionality.
I understand that not yet being accepted into the beta program the presented workouts using the TrainNow function don’t have the symbols confirming if the workout is a maintain or stretching workout (can’t remember the actual terms). My question is, not being in the beta program is there any intelligence put into the workouts suggested (other than a recovery one, climbing one and sprinting one), or does the intelligence only come when you get into the beta program or it becomes available to all?
This is correct- whether or not you’re enrolled in the Adaptive Training closed beta, TrainNow is using your Progression Levels to recommend workouts. It works the same for ALL TrainerRoad athletes!
But as non Beta User I’m unable to see the progress chart is that correct? IIRC there was once this “barchart” with different “abilities” rated 1 to 10… but that’s in the beta only?
Correct- white viewing the Progression Levels chart is currently an Adaptive Training beta-only feature, TrainNow is using this information behind the scenes for all athletes.
@SeanHurley i know this question has been asked before but we haven’t seen an answer as of yet: any idea when non-beta users can see the workout level classification?
I can’t commit to timelines on any specific features, since everything in beta is still being refined and tested to make sure it’s free of bugs and doesn’t cause any confusion or issues for our athletes. I can say we have quite a few Adaptive Training-related features we’re hoping to roll out to everyone in the very near future!
Adding to this thread, as all the others seem to be overrun with AT beta discussion. I’m interested in how to best use available functionality right now.
Inferring progression levels from TrainNow as suggested by @jjmc shows I have extremely low endurance. Or that TR/TN is ignorant of it. The latter is likely, as I only do hard intervals indoors. Endurance rides get done outside. I am not alone in doing this.
I’ve tried your third option of associating outside rides with TR endurance workouts. I’ve associated a number of them giving me in theory an endurance level in the 7 range, yet Trainnow keeps offering me only endurance workouts in the 1.0 to 2.0 range.
I also have a number of completed TR endurance workouts in the 3+ range in my calendar but still nothing above 2.0 is offered.
I tried doing an endurance ride indoors yesterday and it seems to have pushed the numbers up. I did it at 125% to help things along.
That said, my endurance suggestions in TN are now mostly around 4+ but go as low as 1.1 if I keep spinning. They were only slightly lower prior to the indoor workout and didn’t budge when I went riding outdoors.
I voted for doing an indoor TR endurance workout if you really want your endurance recommendations to change. But really, I just wouldn’t worry about it. If you’re doing your endurance workouts outdoors anyway, just pick one yourself of the duration you desire and forget about picking it via TrainNow.
I just ignore the endurance part. That is the easiest zone of all to pick your own workouts, and not really relevant anyways if you are doing all of it outside.
Mine was basically the same, even though I do 99% of all my rides indoors.
