I turned “Fatigue Detection” off because I think if it’s on then the AI will automatically edit my scheduled workouts, and I don’t want it to automatically change anything without giving me the option to accept the change. (In the past TR gave you this option.)
But ! I would like TR to take into account fatigue when suggesting a workout. For example, today is a red day
In general I’ve been disappointed with the update so far. It might simply be the case that how I want to use TR is no longer supported (which I accept - not every app needs to cater to my individual needs!) but this is annoying because I already paid for a yearly subscription.
I’m in a very similar boat. I turned Fatigue Detection off for the same reason, I don’t want workouts being automatically modified without an explicit “accept/decline” step like we had before.
At the end of the day, one should always apply common sense. But I feel like adaptive training had a better UX here: it would trigger, and you could choose to accept/reject (though it would’ve been nicer to accept/reject individual workouts, instead of all changes at once).
So in essence you want to”Fatigue detection” off on the calendar AI but on for TrainNow (that uses the same AI). That’s a tricky edge case and I assume the behavior won’t change because of consistency reasons.
But why not set “Fatigue detection” on?
Instead of giving you the option to accept the change with “Fatigue detection” on you still have the option to decline the change and set back to the original workout (by clicking the note above the workout card). So the option is still there just the process is the other way round.
The thing is … if you would be able to disable RLGL in the calendar I think you would also need to disable AIFTP prediction in combination. Because otherwise, I’m sure people would complain about a bad AIFTP prediction (which, as we know is influenced by fatigue detection) and nobody (not even the users themselves) could see the reason being that the user is training through red or yellow days.
Exactly. I’m getting red days all over the place now and I feel fine. I turned off the fatigue detection and its still changing my workouts all over the place. Seems like I’m playing whack-a-mole with the calendar. Actually could be a fun game they’re developing and using us to test it on
Right now, even when you turn off Fatigue Detection, it will still show you the Yellow and Red Days on the Calendar. This is something we are working on removing as it can cause confusion as what you are experiencing with TrainNow. Update: this has been fixed! Red and Yellow Days won’t show when you turn off Fatigue Detection!
Because you’ve turned off Fatigue Detection, TrainNow won’t take into account that it is a red day and recommend a workouts as normal, even if on your Calendar you are seeing it’s a Red Day (just a display thing). This is not a regression, you just have the setting off.
A solution for this would be to pin the workout if you don’t want it charged like @mtbjones mentioned
If you’d like to give more feedback as to what other things you’re not enjoying and how you want to use the app we would be happy to hear it! We always take athlete’s opinions to improve the experience.
I’d take yellow days as days you shouldn’t do a hard ride and occur more frequently when you are ramping TSS.
It sounds like you are returning to training. What does your current TSS look like compared to your 6-week average? In the past you may have been at a steady state training load, so you wouldn’t get them as frequently.
Can you post your completed training for the last 4 weeks. You appear to be showing the future work. Also what are the huge spikes of 6000 TSS in the past? Trying to understand if the 300-400+ TSS you have scheduled is normal.
I might expect more yellows as you ramp, you do have a big week with no recovery from what I can see. The hard for an endurance ride is odd, how have you been rating them over the last month?
