Building on its running workouts offering, the Training Today app has unveiled its latest feature ‘dynamic cycling workouts’. These are personalised cycling sessions that are curated by the company’s coaching team, uniquely customised using an individual’s readiness to train (RTT) score.
Combining Apple Watch capabilities and a proprietary algorithm, the Training Today app provides a simple and accurate readiness to train (RTT) score to help an individual optimise their training and lifestyle choices.
The new dynamic cycling workouts are now available to access via the Training Today app, and are designed to meet each user’s unique readiness level. The sessions are grouped into five distinct categories: Power, Endurance, Speed Endurance, Recovery, and Tempo.
Athletes can select a ‘Challenge Level’ ranging from Easy to Challenging, with the default setting aligned with their RTT score to ensure optimal intensity and safety.
The Training Today App allows users to choose whether they want to do their workouts based on heart rate zones or power zones. This flexibility offers athletes the ability to personalise their training experience. By selecting heart rate-based workouts, users can focus on maintaining a specific heart rate range, which is helpful for endurance and aerobic sessions.
Alternatively, power-based workouts utilise an integration with power meters, allowing cyclists to maintain a target level of watts for the most precise training.
Once a workout is selected, it’s sent directly to the user’s Apple Watch, providing step-by-step guidance throughout the session. This integration ensures a smooth training experience, allowing cyclists to track their progress in real-time while focusing on their chosen metrics.
Founder and Managing Director of the Cycling Today app, Ian Blackburn, said “We’re excited to introduce dynamic cycling workouts, and in further developing the experience our valued users have of the Training Today app.
“These workouts help to simplify the process of planning a training session, providing inspiration for those that might not be currently following a structured training plan. This new feature is a natural progression for us, and we’re committed to continuing our development to meet the needs of our users.”
Head Coach of the Training Today app, Ade Bungay, who also contributed to the running workouts, added “An athlete’s RTT score is an extremely powerful tool, and when properly used and interpreted, can greatly help coaches and athletes make informed decisions about their workouts.
“The introduction of dynamic cycling workouts is extremely exciting, and I’ve enjoyed being a part of the development process. The update features some great workouts, and is a superb springboard for athletes that are looking to introduce variety and quality to their training miles.”
The Training Today App is free to download and is compatible with iOS devices. Subscription options start from £2.95 per month or £19.99 per year, with a limited-time offer for a lifetime subscription at £26.99.
