How AI Training Plans Work (And Why They're Better)
Traditional training plans are one-size-fits-all. They don’t know your schedule, your fitness level, or how you recovered from yesterday’s workout. AI training plans are different.
The Problem with Static Plans
If you’ve ever downloaded a training plan from the internet, you know the frustration:
- Week 1 is too easy or too hard
- Your long run lands on the day you have a wedding
- You get sick and the whole plan falls apart
- No adjustment when you’re feeling great (or terrible)
Static plans assume everyone is the same. You’re not.
How AI Plans Adapt
AI training plans in Rivo EndurAI use several data points to create and adjust your training:
1. Your Goals and Timeline
Tell the AI what you’re training for—a 5K, a marathon, an Ironman—and when. It builds backward from your goal to create appropriate periodization.
2. Your Current Fitness
Based on your training history and recent workouts, the AI estimates your current fitness level (CTL) and adjusts the plan accordingly.
3. Your Available Time
Training for a marathon with only 6 hours per week? The AI optimizes for quality over quantity, prioritizing the workouts that matter most.
4. Real-Time Adjustments
This is where AI shines. The plan evolves based on:
- How you performed in recent workouts
- Your fatigue levels (TSB/form)
- Missed workouts and how to adjust
- External factors like weather or travel
The Science Behind It
Our AI uses training load metrics developed by sports scientists:
- CTL (Chronic Training Load): Your long-term fitness
- ATL (Acute Training Load): Your short-term fatigue
- TSB (Training Stress Balance): Your “form” or readiness
By monitoring these metrics, the AI ensures you’re always training in the optimal zone—hard enough to improve, easy enough to recover.
