Welcome to the Ask a Cycling Coach podcast,

presented by Trainer Road.

I'm coach Jonathan Lee. Today we are going to do something a little bit different. We're going to look into some of the analyses that we have been running recently on our database. Now, we talk about us always making decisions based on scientific research and data. And we share quite a bit in terms of the scientific research that we're always looking at with training and performance on

how to get better. But on the data side of things, we don't share a whole lot of that all the

time. This might be risky for us to do, but at the same time, I want to share some of the stuff

that I've been analyzing recently and looking into, and I also want to be clear that there are

much smarter people doing much deeper analysis constantly here at

train a road but this is going to be a cool look at some basic training questions and

some insights that we can gain from our database it's a massive database it's really unique in the

sense that we have such high quality training data from so many athletes of all abilities

it's very cool so if this is something that interests you and if you have other in the sense that we have such high quality training data from so many athletes of all abilities.

It's very cool. So if this is something that interests you, and if you have other questions that you would want to ask of our database, maybe ponderings or thoughts you've had about what sort of

training would work better or different training outcomes and things you could do to influence that,

just drop them down below, Spotify or YouTube comments. And then we can look at

them and maybe answer some of those in future episodes. That could be pretty cool. But without

further ado, we're going to get into this. We have a total of five analyses that we're going to look

into. This first one basically started out with me looking at like, how is Traynor Road AI actually

performing? It's been out since early February. Now looking at like, how is trainer road AI actually performing?

It's been out since early February. Now looking at where we're at, what is the actual impact on athletes training outcomes? In other words, are they seeing PRs in their performance, not just in

their workouts, but then outside of it? And then also, you know, is it reducing workout failures? Because we know that that's the

thing when athletes are failing workouts. That's usually a big red flag for the training process,

not working as it should. So with that in mind, I want to go through and look at some of the,
