Now that my training plan is done, I plan on using “train now” to keep in shape through the cold months.
I love the workouts , but I find that 4 of 5 days it suggests “ endurance”, so I usually just pick the work out of the three that I feel like doing, have other users found that Train Now will actually pick the workout that was most appropriate to their fatigue?
It only picks “endurance” for me if I did a harder workout the same day or the day before.

Yup, overly simple, TN will recommend Endurance if you’ve done a hard ride or workout the day before. This can be a TR workout or imported ride onto the TR calendar.
If you have had a rest day or easy day before, it can and does recommend something other than Endurance.

That’s an intense ride on a bumpy surface???

I will pay closer attention but it seems like it will sometimes give me two or three endurance days in a row
Sure, like I said… “oversimplified”. If you really had a super hard ride (or 2), it might take 2 days before Endurance is recommended. Here is a relevant section from the official support site:
What determines which category (Climbing/Endurance/Attacking) is shown as ‘Recommended’ for today?
- The “Recommended” label is based on the intensity and stress of your recent rides and workouts. It’s not intended to replace a training plan, but it’s a quick and simple way to make sure you’re completing a sustainable mix of workouts. For instance, if you have completed some tough VO2 Max workouts in a week, it’s likely you’ll see an Endurance workout recommended.

Have I ever shared how much I hate typing on touch screen phones for comments here?

This might have some merit, considering the bulk of our training is endurance based, with specific systems targeted in the other hand full of workouts for the week. I always expect a healthy serving of endurance rides.
That said, I sometimes forgo the recommended endurance workout and simply do one of the other options if I’m feeling fresh.
