He walks through the underlying physiology, reviews studies that both support and refute performance gains, and explains why any potential upside appears small, highly context dependent, and often linked to higher intensity work. Coach Jonathan also highlights the real risks, especially knee and joint stress, and offers practical guidance on if, when, and how to experiment with SFR safely, emphasizing that it is a marginal gains tool best suited to base training and never worth compromising power targets or consistency. The episode opens with a major TrainerRoad update, previewing TrainerRoad AI, the company’s biggest release ever, which replaces Adaptive Training with new in house AI models designed to deliver better workout selection, fewer misses, and more FTP and power gains, setting the stage for a new era of data driven coaching.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- TrainerRoad’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehannahotto - TrainerRoad AI Blog Post: https://www.trainerroad.com/blog/trainerroads-biggest-update-ever-is-coming-%f0%9f%91%80/ - TrainerRoad AI Forum Post: https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/trainerroad-s-biggest-update-ever-is-coming/107205/26 - Paton, et al., 2009 Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19675486/ - Nimmerichter, et al., 2012 Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21479957/ - Hebisz, et al., 2024 Study: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0311833 - Kristoffersen, et al., 2014 Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3907705/pdf/fphys-05-00034.pdf - Hansen, et al., 2017 Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28095074/ - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.

They unpack why metrics like HRV, readiness scores, sleep stages, and body battery style numbers can be wildly inconsistent across devices, and why those numbers work best as retrospective context that confirms what you already feel rather than daily go or no go decision makers. From there, the conversation turns practical, focusing on what actually drives performance, executing the plan, fueling well (especially indoors), and recovering consistently, then using data only if it supports adherence instead of adding friction. They also highlight underrated but far more actionable tools like post ride notes and long term patterns, with a clear warning not to let a watch seal the fate of your day before you have given the workout an honest shot.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Hannah’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehannahotto - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.
