"Unplanned recovery walks"

General
1

This is a relatively minor quibble, but Athletica is driving me nuts with this. I like to record my morning walks. This means that on most days, there is a ~10min walk that gets recorded to my training log.

Athletica really doesn’t like this. I get constant scoldings for my “unplanned” sessions any time I report the slightest amount of fatigue. Sometimes it’s just passive-aggressive stuff like “Stick to the plan and you’ll see improvement soon!” It’ll occasionally make comments about the “unplanned recovery walks” even if I recently knocked out a 4hr ride and felt great.

It’s very frustrating to have the “coach” going after me for taking a short morning walk. If I was going off and recording playing in a pickup soccer match or something actually adding significant fatigue then I would totally get it. Instead, the hectoring over my morning walk is tiresome and irritating.

Hey @rctaylor157

I totally agree with you, and have taken your feedback to the team to consider adjusting AI Coach feedback. I walk my dog in the mornings and just today thought about how annoying it is to get the “unplanned” spiel from AI Coach. Thanks for voicing this!

I agree with this. My yoga and stretching sessions also sync, and it’s frustrating to get the scolding for restorative sessions.

Simarly I commute on my bike 6-7km most days. Would be great if you could mark ride as commute and not get shouted at by the coach

I turned off the AI coach because it was annoying.

Just wanted to chime in here to tell you all that we are actively working on making AI Coach tone and personality a little less “naggy and uptight”… :smiley:
