Week of April 4

Public athlete profiles and training milestone badges launched last weekend, along with Performance Benchmarks for Max subscribers. If you missed it, check out the separate announcement for the full details.

Running workouts now support power-based targets. If you train with a running power meter (Stryd, Garmin, etc.), select "Power-based" in Settings > Training to get targets as % of your running FTP instead of pace β€” great for hilly or windy routes where pace is unreliable. FTP Improvement goals also now let you set a specific target wattage with the same FTP slider and AI-suggested targets as race goals.

Workout scoring got an overhaul. Scores no longer cluster around 7: the system now evaluates what intensity is appropriate for each workout type, and unscheduled workouts (group rides, spontaneous sessions) also get scored based on training value. Post-workout analysis is more honest too: casual group rides no longer get descriptions about "structured intervals" that didn't happen, and indoor rides no longer get commentary about hilly terrain.

The readiness card was redesigned with a unified layout. HRV, Sleep, and RHR now show for all athletes (not just Whoop users) when data is available from Intervals.icu, and metrics are organized in a cleaner grid with Fitness, Fatigue, RHR, and Ramp Rate always visible.

Daily adaptation responds earlier to fatigue now. Instead of waiting for a large fitness drop, the system catches deeply negative Form and swaps high-intensity sessions for lower-intensity alternatives. Several plan stability fixes landed too: workouts already on your calendar no longer get overwritten on Sunday, duplicate workouts after plan regeneration are cleaned up, and taper weeks no longer show higher TSS targets than peak weeks.

A batch of fixes across the board: sport selection during onboarding now saves correctly, workout names are generated in your language, swim pull sets get proper rest between hard efforts, duplicate rides from gravel/MTB/virtual variants are prevented, Coach+ date calculations are more reliable, race pace plans give sport-appropriate warmup instructions, and CTL projections are now consistent between the Dashboard and Training Plan page.
