TR Android App Train Now Stuck on One Workout Recommendation

Train now has recommended the same workout for me the last three sessions: Carillon-1. This strikes me as odd given that:

  1. I’ve yet to ever have Train Now recommend the same workout even twice in a row.

  2. I’ve never had Train Now recommend such a high intensity workout on two consecutive days.

  3. My PC Trainer Road app is behaving closer to my expectations at this time.

Anybody having the same problem or know of a way to fix it? I wonder if I might have constrained the app workout selection in some way that I’m not aware of.

Maybe something to do with this:

I had some weird behaviour too in the TR TN mobile app which was fine on the web. I just used the website and ignored the phone app.

Thanks @HLaB.

Even the web app is behaving a bit differently than I’m used to. After a day off, I’ve never before had TN recommend an endurance day. Always intensity with TSS > 60. Today, after a day off, it’s recommending endurance with a TSS = 34.

In terms of my progressions, it is true that I’m low on endurance because I never do it on the bike. But, still, it’s atypical behavior.

Admittedly not TN related but yesterday during a workout on the desktop app I tried to increase the intensity by 5% but the ticker continued to 999% and then stuck there. Could be a sticky keyboard button but when I immediately loaded a second workout to test, it worked fine. Needless to say I had to end the workout 2 thirds of the way through.

There’s another thread where Nate mentions that TrainNow is using some new method to pick the 1 best workout and that’s why they got rid of the refresh button because no matter how many times you refreshed you would get the same recommendations.
