Thanks! Just had a look and now seeing similar recommendations - my VO2 and Anaerobic PLs are currently 1.0 as haven’t done any TR workouts in those zones for quite a while though have been sprinkling in some efforts on my long outdoor rides. Trainnow recommending today that I do a level 8.7 Anaerobic workout which is a huge jump but not all that different to what I’ve done manually in previous years (at any given FTP I always seem to find it much easier to get towards the top of the PLs in VO2 and Anaerobic than I do in Sweetspot/Threshold, so starting at 1 and doing Productive or Stretch workouts takes a month or more before any of them feel challenging).
Would say there are still some bugs to iron out though. As in the other workout zones it was also recommending a Threshold 9.9 workout. I’m currently down at PL1.3 on Threshold which is probably a bit lower than I’m capable of (Sweetspot is on PL6) but I also know from experience that trying to jump up the Threshold levels the same way I can jump up the VO2 levels will end in bitter failure quite quickly! Hit Refresh and it changed to a Threshold 5.0 workout. Which is maybe manageable but a completely different proposition to a 9.9. Doesn’t seem like it should be recommending such a huge range of workouts just by hitting Refresh.
OK, this is now fixed! @MeMeToo, TrainNow is still recommending a few workouts that are a bump from what you’ve currently completed, but not nearly as large a jump as the ones you posted earlier. Our AI is quite confident that you’ll be able to successfully and productively complete the new recommendations. Give them a try!
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
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.
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 ?
A friend has been back on the trainer for a couple weeks after occasional outdoor rides for the past year. Suggesting a 7.6 threshold having not done any threshold workouts is wild. I’d be afraid of that one, too.
