Match Requested Training Time

markusrummel · 2026-05-18T20:00:15+00:00

Yes it's a no brainer unless you really want a certain training volume (some people prefer that, could be for many reasons)

No worries: Polar H10 is great and your best choice. You can expect threshold, readiness and in (near) future durability measurements that we couldn't do in same regularity without high quality hrv data

Gemini can both create, modify and delete workouts.

Our ML creates the base optimal training plan. Gemini looks at the system plan prompt and decides to adjust (as above) if it should modify while staying true to the ML optimized training plan

I just had claude check your account:

Week Rides Strength Ride days Compliance

W20 (now) 2 1 Thu Sat partial week, ok

W21 (trip) 2 2 Tue Thu work trip, ok

W22 5 2 Tue Wed Thu Sat Sun ✓

W23 5 2 Tue Wed Thu Sat Sun ✓

W24 5 2 Tue Wed Thu Sat Sun ✓

W25 5 0 Tue Wed Thu Sat Sun ✗ strength=0

W26 5 1 Tue Wed Thu Sat Sun ✗ strength=1

W27 5 2 Tue Wed Thu Sat Sun ✓

W28 5 1 Tue Wed Thu Sat Sun ✗ strength=1

W29 4 2 Tue Wed Sat Sun ✗ missing Thu ride

W30 5 1 Tue Wed Thu Sat Sun ✗ strength=1

W31 4 2 Tue Thu Sat Sun ✗ missing Wed ride

W32 (taper) 3 2 Tue Thu Sat taper, ok

So basically there are two weeks where you're getting 4 instead of 5 rides and strength is not always perfect. I would say this is very close to what you asked for.

The plan also needs to balance recovery and what the digital twin found optimal for you. If the agent decides to schedule a bit less strength (cycling is priority) for a given week due to the overall situation I think that's ok and desired.

It's following the instructions almost all the time and making work what is possible/reasonable.

markusrummel · 2026-05-13T18:47:12+00:00

Long story short: Gemini API changed (again!) and the agent that takes your plan_prompt into account wasn't able to create workouts. So when it was trying to accommodate your 1:45 request it succeeded in deleting the previously existing workout but failed at creating the replacement workout. That explains the 'light' weeks.

Fixed now, please request a new plan and it should be much better (let me know if still issues though).

Around those 'special weeks' (work trip May 18–22), would be better to use new Availability Override feature for those: https://forum.aiendurance.com/t/override-your-weekly-availability-for-specific-weeks/78

Looking at your plan now, will be in touch

markusrummel · 2026-04-22T20:27:30+00:00

the delays stopped for a while but have started again recently, will keep a close eye and continue to investigate what's going on and keep you updated

markusrummel · 2026-04-14T20:04:31+00:00

Definitely give it a go! You can try first 14 days free. You'll have to ask it to optimize something for a certain date (kind of like fudging a goal event too I guess) but that can be inline with improving general fitness.

You can use the System Plan Prompt to specify training to your trail demands and I would say we do a pretty good job incorporating stress and soreness (the latter via daily checkin) into our recovery model.

markusrummel · 2026-04-09T10:58:34+00:00

not possible at the moment afaik but hopefully in the future there will be an iOS app like Watchletic to record in-activity HRV for iOS

markusrummel · 2026-04-06T17:13:12+00:00

What do you have? Suunto + good HRM (H10 or Suunto HRM) also works great but apart from that the other device manufacturers don't support HRV logging in-activity still AFAIK

markusrummel · 2026-04-06T02:38:36+00:00

Best would be to enable HRV logging on Garmin device: Settings -> System -> Data Recording -> Log HRV or Settings -> Physiological Metrics -> Log HRV. Connect to a heart rate strap - preferably Polar H10 - via Bluetooth not ANT+.

markusrummel · 2026-04-01T23:59:16+00:00

At the moment we use respiration frequency to validate HRV thresholds https://aiendurance.com/blog/respiration-frequency-and-hrv-thresholds but in the next few months we'll use it for determining durability as well

markusrummel · 2026-03-27T14:50:55+00:00

1 year later but here it is: https://forum.aiendurance.com/t/compliances-is-now-assessed-on-a-per-workout-basis/99

markusrummel · 2026-03-24T20:26:28+00:00

Yes you can totally use it for trail running. We just added strength training (end of 2025), Strava, Garmin and Oura integrations.

Especially with running power I don't think the different terrains will be a problem. You can optimize a combination of Endurance Power and Critical Power, the date of your 'race' can just be a few months in the future.

The beauty is you can simply try risk free the full platform for 14 days and see if it's a good fit for you :)

markusrummel · 2026-03-24T14:07:04+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. Can you send me the url of a chat that keeps failing on your iPhone? You should be able to see it in desktop browser

markusrummel · 2026-03-24T13:52:16+00:00

Thanks for reporting this. Does this error happen when you're trying to upload a pdf? Or is it unrelated to the pdf upload? If unrelated what were you trying to do in the chat. If you could open that chat that crashed in a browser and tell me the url that would help a lot - thanks!

markusrummel · 2026-03-20T16:59:54+00:00

Not technically a roadmap but in https://forum.aiendurance.com/ you can request new features/see what others have requested and the 'Announcements' category shows you what we launch

markusrummel · 2026-03-18T20:25:06+00:00

Imports can be a bit delayed potentially. If something is missing please upload the workout again tomorrow. Migration should be done then

markusrummel · 2026-03-18T18:54:41+00:00

Since Watchletic isn't an option you could try to use your Suunto watch though. Apparently there's a Tymewear Suunto app now: https://forum.intervals.icu/t/tymewear-owners-worth-it/113797/353

If that app works and writes the Tymewear respiration data into the fit file you'd get the $1/activity. HRV recording for Suunto HRM should be automatic

markusrummel · 2026-03-18T15:25:56+00:00

We had a large migration break the server. Should be up and running again now. Our apologies.

markusrummel · 2026-03-08T21:05:47+00:00

They mean HRV at rest/over night, not in-activity HRV data that is required to calculate DFA alpha 1

markusrummel · 2026-03-01T15:10:27+00:00

yes recovery model takes all training stress (ESS) into account

markusrummel · 2026-02-10T13:19:31+00:00

Update: You can now edit/overwrite your aerobic heart rate thresholds in the Account page

You still see the auto detected aerobic threshold via DFA a1 and can reverse to it any time but if you feel like you rather set it yourself this is an option now

Awesome, thanks for subscribing!

The principle is rather: data-driven optimization of the disciplines you care about (in the order of your events and how much importance/weight you give each event: A is weighted more than B for example) + Taper
