Yes, TR has had the ability to show how fitness increases or decreases over time. Its called a power curve and was rolled out when performance analytics was launched over 29 months ago.
Lets look at how my fitness dropped after switching from self coaching to using TR training plans:
and then increased by switching from TR to another approach using an off-the-shelf plan (purchase once, use over and over):
That is 7 months of FasCat off-the-shelf plans with some mods based on feeling. Really I stopped training the second week of June, most of the gains on that chart are from 5 months of switching to FasCat approach.
And some improvements on short power too, after switching from TR to FasCat approach:
Thanks for the pep talk, but the data and feelings are crystal clear. I’m sure adaptive training would help, thats not the point. Using other analytics I can post my heart rate data, and this new approach has put less strain on my heart.
Thanks but I’ll stick with what is working, as I’m stronger and healthier by following a different road.
