One of the most common questions we get from athletes is how to incorporate their unstructured ride into their training plan. In the past, we recommended manual workarounds. I think these workarounds added complexity/confusion. And I’ve personally felt “locked in” to a training plan before – like I couldn’t stray from it (I don’t think this is unique to me).
Having this ability at the planning step removes that complexity. And with Red Light Green Light, we can catch excessive fatigue early even if those rides do tip into being unproductive.
And it does unlock more improvements and iterations on our roadmap.
