Thanks for reporting this! Looks like this is indeed a bug and our engineers are working on fixing it now. I’ll report back here when it’s resolved.

Please let us know how it goes
The bug was not limited to one account, but it’s been resolved and the recommendations you are seeing now are correct. I took a look under the hood and TrainNow’s AI is quite confident you’re capable of productively completing the workouts it’s recommending. Give one a try and let us know how it goes 
Thanks for the reply. I admire your optimism!
Yup! Remember that Progression Levels simply reflect the highest level of a workout you’ve recently completed. The AI powering TrainNow, on the other hand, knows what you’re capable of productively completing.
Im afraid im afraid of a SS 5.5 
Would be cool if PLs could use that AI to keep the levels set…
You should try it and report back!
So if you’re not on a plan and only using TN, PL are irrelevant and should be ignored, and if you’re on a plan you should be wary of using TN as it could jump the PL’s up and damage the plans, planned progression ?
This is the kind of jump it offered me, had the same scepticism (see a few posts up) but cruised the workout.
Did you try the workout or other similar large PL jump workout recommended by TR? How did it turn out?
They have a lot of faith in your abilities.
With zwift in the bag maybe this can be next? Plleeaassee?
Sean, I apologize if I have missed something mentioned earlier. I notice most people are saying that TN is giving them workouts harder than their current PL. Mine is the opposite. My PL for SS is 8.2 and TN is giving me Antelope +1 for today, which is a PL of 6.3. I am not necessarily worried about it but just curious why mine is different. I have been doing most of my workouts outside and I am usually following a plan so I am not super familiar with TN. To me this means that it thinks I am not capable of doing workouts of similar difficulty to what I have been completing?
This isn’t necessarily the case. It may be that TrainNow detects you have some extra fatigue today and would benefit from a slightly easier workout.
Thanks for the reply Sean!
I rode a big 127 miles a week prior to checking TN but did no exercise for 5 days leading up to my comment. If anything, I would have been pretty fresh considering the volume I did before those 5 days off. I guess it could have thought that I was losing fitness at that point?
The confusing thing about that thought is that it was also suggesting an anaerobic workout that was 4 PL higher than my current level.
Again, I realize it is suggesting workouts based on what it thinks I could be able to do. The TN suggestions just seem a bit confusing to me.
I did a group ride in Zwift this morning and I wasn’t doing a TrainerRoad workout in parallel.
It still gave me a progression level for the ride. (Rated it at 1.7 endurance).Make sense since it was an easy recovery ride.
It’s the first time I see that without doing a TR workout. Maybe the progression level update is coming soon.
Awesome… and it definitely wasn’t paired with anything?
If so this almost certainly means it’s coming!
