Background
AI Endurance is based on the observation that an optimal training routine can be very different for each individual. That's why one-size-fits all training plans often don't yield the expected results.
With AI Endurance you get truly personalized, data-driven training based on your accumulated historic power data. Our machine learning algorithm is like a 'digital twin' that represents how you respond to different training routines. This allows us to
- Predict your FTP: if you do X your FTP will by Y based on our machine learning model for you, your very own digital twin.
- Use your digital twin to find the optimal training plan for you.
For your optimized, personalized training plan we take into account
- Your current fitness level
- Your goal event and date
- Your time constraints
