With the introduction of the Adaptive Training (AT) beta questions have been raised about the underlying algorithms. One recurring response has been to assume AT is a black-box controlled by artificial intelligence: It must be nice to be an AI and not have to explain yourself. Just spit out a resu…

Large data set, just means you have a large data set, it doesn’t mean that you understand that data, see the patterns that you should, and it often leads you astray (if users are getting faster by doing sufferfest workouts in tr, you have to make that you pick that up) hence the saying , there are l…

[image] WombleHunter: Large data set, just means you have a large data set, it doesn’t mean that you understand that data, see the patterns that you should, and it often leads you astray That is true for literally everything in science. Great machine learning model? Well that doesn’t mean an…

For sure! this had to be the first step, I would think. That way they can go back and classify levels to all of the workouts to the right progression level and analyze failure rates, how PLs were associated to FTP increases and etc.

My applologies, I thought I saw somebody making the “TR is right because they have the data to prove it” argument, and should have taken more time to read what you were actually saying

I see. I agree with that, and while I am excited because I think I can see where the puck is going, AT is v1.0. Think Windows 95, iPhone OS 1.0 or Mac OS 10.1 — early times, but you can recognize that the fundamental ideas are good.

[image] mcneese.chad: To be clear then, you are judging the current TR offering ( revised training plans + AT beta ) without actually using them for any length of time, but based on your past experience with old plans, no AT, and in light your new experiences from other training resources. I …

Edit: this text is in response to your comment that you went to a coach and changed your approach outside TR to make your recent improvements. Slight side bar needed to make a point. But generally, you may be on to one reason coaches will not be put out of business by AT. Which I hear stated here …

[image] OreoCookie: What is your compliance rate? Strava doesn’t know that. I think with a lot of effort they might be able to reverse engineer some of that As somebody who provides large datasets of patient/population demographics, I don’t think I would have any trouble getting most of this …

First of all, good to hear the perspective of an expert. I’m not, I’ve just been close to people who are for quite a while. So take what I write with a grain of salt. Overall, you are right that other data sets could be mined to extract the same type of information. [image] WombleHunter: As som…

[image] OreoCookie: I don’t know Zwift very well and I am not keeping up with the day-to-day improvements they are adding. However, just judging from how the people I ride with use Zwift, none of them do what I would consider structured training with Zwift. Just to be clear, The BreakAway app…
