Adaptive cycling training plans
Miss a workout or have a busy week? Your plan rebuilds around real fatigue science instead of breaking.
A cycling plan that adapts to your life
Life gets in the way of training. You miss a session, a work week explodes, you catch a cold. Most plans just leave you to fall behind. TrainCraft rebuilds your plan around real fatigue science so a bad week does not derail your goal.
Grounded in CTL, ATL and TSB
Adaptation is driven by the same metrics coaches use: CTL (chronic training load, your long-term fitness), ATL (acute training load, recent fatigue) and TSB (training stress balance, your form). TrainCraft charts all three on a PMC and uses them to decide how your plan should change.
Detects missed sessions and adjusts
When you skip or move workouts, the plan is recalculated against your current form rather than blindly continuing. You get science-backed replanning that keeps the progression intact, not a pile of workouts you can never catch up on.
Syncs with Strava and Garmin
Connect Strava or Garmin and completed rides update your load metrics automatically, so the plan adapts to what you actually did. Pair it with the workout builder and a structured training plan to build your season.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a training plan "adaptive"?
When you miss sessions or your form changes, the plan is recalculated using your current fitness (CTL), fatigue (ATL) and form (TSB) rather than leaving you to skip workouts and fall behind.
What are CTL, ATL and TSB?
CTL (Chronic Training Load) tracks long-term fitness, ATL (Acute Training Load) tracks recent fatigue, and TSB (Training Stress Balance) is the difference between them, which is your form. TrainCraft charts all three and uses them to adjust your plan.
Does it sync with Strava and Garmin?
Yes. Connect Strava or Garmin so completed rides update your load metrics automatically and the plan adapts to what you actually did.
