About TrainerRoad
TrainerRoad is a cycling training app that uses AI to analyze a rider's training history, performance, and recovery to build adaptive, science-backed structured workouts and plans. Its AI runs simulations to select the right workout, detects FTP changes automatically without requiring fitness tests, and recalculates upcoming sessions when workouts are completed, missed, swapped, or when the calendar changes. Workouts can be done indoors or outdoors across platforms like Zwift, Garmin, Wahoo, and Hammerhead.
