Xert – Adaptive Training Program

Xert - Adaptive Training Program

The Xert Adaptive Training Advisor and Training Pacer built me up to a higher level of preparation, for sure. This week, I will transfer over from "Build", to "Peak" in the Xert Adaptive Training Program. The Target Date is still November 14th. That's when Tracy and I will attempt to summit Truck Route 341 yet again - this time, with a breakthrough in the 20-25 minute range in mind. I'm not worried about time. We both just want to set 20MMP Records that coincide with the Power-Duration Predictions at those levels.

It will be interesting to see what Xert's Adaptive Training Program lays out. I'm looking forward to the intervals, but I also want to build my own. Take a look at the Xert "Weekly Stats" page, inside of the "Xert Planner" menu.

Xert ATA – Saturday’s Big Ride!

Xert ATA (Adaptive Training Advice) for Saturday, October 10th, 2020 The Xert ATA and Training Pacer Rainbow Dial are showing that I am roughly 101 XSS in the hole. The workout goal is set to 166 XSS. The Focus recommendation is "Endurance".

Xert Adaptive Training Advisor Training Pacer Focus — I took yesterday off, but the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor looks at my previous Saturdays, and it has planned a good over-reach ride for me.

The Adaptive Training Advisor has been pretty predictable, and while I am tired, I'm not overtrained.

Xert ATA - Post Ride

Well, the Xert ATA wanted 166 points?

Xert XSS – 76 Points of Aerobic Base

Xert XSS in the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor is recommending 76 points of completely aerobic base.

My FOCUS is set for "Endurance".

I earn roughly 1 Xert XSS point per 9 or 10 Kilojoules of work, at about 170 watts of power. There usually is not enough time in my day to head out for an easy road ride. SO, I will probably perform this ride indoors.

Xert XSS - 76 points of aerobic base — The Xert XSS recommendation for the day is at 76 points. FOCUS is "Endurance", which is purely aerobic.

I DO miss having some intervals right now, however, so I may chuck the suggestions out the window and perform some intervals to get the points, and maybe try for a breakthrough.

XSS and FOCUS per the ATA

The beauty of this XSS goal comes when you're fit and you know you don't need too much, to stay on target. Xert FOCUS goal was set to 13:36, which is also fairly aerobic. But I do love my mountain biking, especially climbing.

Xert – Training Optional on the Xert Training Pacer

Xert - Training Optional in the Xert Training Pacer.

I did it - I moved the needle to the 1 O'clock position. "Training Optional" is sweet, sweet music. I'm going to take the day off. The dogs have been walked. Work beckons in a few hours. Right now, I'm going to fly my flight sim and maybe have a quick coffee nap.

Xert Training Pacer Training Optional Adaptive Training Advisor October 5 2020 — The volume and intensity I've achieved over the past several days is paying off. Taking a day off will NOT hurt my fitness, as the yellow triangle shows. There is also no workout suggestion in the description.

Let's look at the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor, below the Training Pacer. It describes WHY my status on the Training Pacer is set to "Training Optional".
