This goes back to my question in the Adaptive Training Live Q&A thread: What scenarios is the current version of AT at MVP (minimal viable product) level?
I would argue that if you either have a high % of your rides either outside (free rides) or via custom workouts, then AT isn’t at MVP:
- High % of rides outsides (free rides): AT doesn’t currently rate these, so it is “blind” to a significant load you are experiencing, and therefore its ability to accurately interpret how you are doing on the workouts it is able interpret is flawed
- Custom Workouts: the Workout Level for these can be off, so garbage in / garbage out. That is, since the input to AT is flawed, AT cannot accurately adapt future workouts
