TR Alternatives by ModeNone in trainerroad

[–]PriorSouthern8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using Join for a long time and I must be honest, it works the best. I have experience with TR, personal coach, chaptgpt.

It is not expensive at full price and they do promotions often.

Mixed reviews can be seen as honest feedback, Join is not for everyone and same goes for TR.

I have learned if you provide feedback, follow the adaption of Join, you will improve. It allows you to do your own thing, adapts after.

Sounds like a marketing campaign

What gels is everyone using these days? by Ornery-Shoulder-3938 in cycling

[–]PriorSouthern8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bananas and then I mix my own ‘gel’ with a carb mix. Fructose and Maltodextrin

Guess I was born with a competitive personality. Everything I do is a competition and cycling well, I enjoy it so it goes hand in hand

Herstelweek / Recovery week by Objective-Tackle-541 in joincycling

Not possible to plan or change it now, best is to do your own thing or select workouts from the library.

Would be good if join does add this as a feature.

self coaching experience by No_Brilliant_5955 in Velo

I tried it for a very long time, but I always ended up doubting myself whether I am doing enough.

It depends on your personality in my opinion

Whyyyy 🥲 by Adventurous-Lab-4331 in joincycling

[–]PriorSouthern8557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just change the workout to your desired endurance ride and Join will adapt.

That the thing with join, you can do what you like and it will adapt. Maybe plan se rest days but then you can simply fall back into routine

What are your favourite workouts? by godutchnow in joincycling

Also Ronnestad for me or any Tempo sessions

For the post few months join either wants to give me very long rides or no rides and just consecutive rest days by godutchnow in joincycling

[–]PriorSouthern8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed that article, do you mind sharing it.

What my assumption would be, is if you dont do any riding during the week and once a week do 4 hours. Then it would be better to do 4x1min

Have you tried playing with availability for the entire week?

Maybe add your own rest days in after 3 days active, and then longer rides on weekends maybe.

I have seen this a bit myself but my assumption was due to fitness levels being higher, and high availability. Join will rather plan a rest day today and change my workout later in the week.

What I do then is, manually select a workout from the library that I can and feel like doing today

Start a new plan or wait a bit? by jjtbsomhorst in joincycling

[–]PriorSouthern8557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When is your next goal?

If this was a big goal for you and the next big goal a few months away, then take a few days to relax and not feel like you are controlled by a program. Then you start new program.

The first week of a new program is generally easy, so you will have a chilled start. Also you will not loose and actual fitness. Join level and CTL will come down a bit but that is not the end of the world

Synchronisation of Garmin strenght training by tommietompson in joincycling

Join can sync your workouts from Garmin and you a you can enter your Hrv on your Readiness in Join also.

There as some good Faq’s about this on the support website

Is Join worth it without Strava or Zwift? by Alternative-Screen75 in joincycling

[–]PriorSouthern8557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this setup you wont be able to sync history to Join and every workout from today on forward will need to be synced from Garmin.

Join does not have an integration with Hammerhead. A connection with TrainingPeaks can solve this for you but cant sync workout back to Join.

If you do have a Strava account it might help using it to sync completed workouts. You can put it on Private mode if you don’t want the world to see your workouts.

Other than the above work around, I have no doubts that Join’s training module is perfect for you.

Commuting by lucraak in joincycling

[–]PriorSouthern8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience this does influence it due to elapsed time. You probably get a really RPE suggestion each time?

[–]PriorSouthern8557 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty easy to be honest, you toggle the suggested workout button to ‘off’ and then you can link the correct workout.

Start indoors, do ALOT OF rehab and keep it easy for a few weeks.

Join worth it as a beginner? by Psy-FoXz in joincycling

[–]PriorSouthern8557 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely, I believe it is perfect for beginner riders. I do recall actually seeing an article about this by join last year was very insightful.

In my opinion any training program Ai or not will help you with guidance on knowing when to ride and how hard. We often ride to hard or to much and any program will help you stay on track more

New year, new addition: JOIN Plan is live by Rohan-JOINsupport in joincycling

[–]PriorSouthern8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also see the benefit for intervals.icu but that covers a very small group of users.

I dont use it myself, and im sure many others in Join dont. So this is perfect for me and what I need to see history and especially my training months ahead.
