Brick sessions are now a first-class training stimulus. Schedule bike→run bricks directly from TrainNow, and let the daily cron and weekly planner build them into your block with race-simulation patterns when appropriate.
Bricks appear as a per-day sport toggle in the weekly plan, surface as a dedicated chip in the iOS training schedule, and automatically downgrade to a single sport when readiness is poor.
Trail Run is now a distinct sport across TrainNow, the workout picker, library mapper, race editor, and training schedule. Critical Speed and pace zones are split between trail and road (or GAP-normalised), race pace plans are GAP-aware, and post-workout analysis carries elevation and terrain context. Trail race goals are detected automatically, coaching memory separates trail and road stimuli, and weekly plans support vertical-meter targets and trail-specific structure.
Walks and hikes count as legitimate training input — contributing to active recovery and weekly TSS, and supported as goal events for charity walks and multi-day hikes.
Per-stimulus half-life now feeds into the weekly plan as a hard-day spacing constraint. Max-tier athletes can benchmark their recovery curves against a peer cohort.
