Be able to use Whoop data, especially the recovery metrics to automatically adapt the ‘Readiness’ slider.

Have the option to schedule 2 workouts on a single day. It would be useful to be able to indicate the days where I will be available to do 2 workouts a day. This can be located in the Availabilities tab, where I have the sliders with my availability. I would still use the slider to indicate the total amount of time a have available, but have for example a checkbox to highlight a ‘double day’. Since I can imagine that this is definitely not for everyone, this feature would be something to enable in the ‘Athletic profile’. Just highlight if you want to include double days in your availability yes or no. Related to the Strength training scheduler feature, this would be a great opportunity to schedule a strength workout and a running or cycling workout that is complementary on the same day. The second user case I could apply is when commuting. Right now I follow Join’s advice and highlight only 1 of the 2 parts of my commute, do the workout that is scheduled on 1 and use the second one as recovery spin or easy endurance. However, I find that this extra volume that is added still drives my plan to somewhat reschedule short term to adapt to this, not always optimal for my planning at home..

Join doesn’t allow to schedule strength training. I can add the training afterwards and Join adapts slightly, but I always have to do this at the cost of another training or rest day. This feels like reducing the effectiveness of my schedule. It does not need to be a full schedule with exercises and guided sessions. The intent would be to highlight in ‘athletic profile’ ‘Include strength training’ with similar features or menus as cycling and running, indicating how many sessions a week (1, 2 or up to 3 (?)) and just taking the RPE after the session into the overal plan. It is definitely not necessary to make it more complex. Under the hood Join can take into account the extra neuromuscular load, somewhat like strength training on the bike. Why? Strength training really increased my injury resistance, power on the bike and overal fitness. And I think it is a key component to being healthy, to do resistance training in general.

Doordat ik tijdens woon-werkritten train zou ik twee trainingen per dag willen kunnen instellen. Nu zit de kern meestal in het midden van de totale ritduur van 2,5 uur en dat is juist als ik vlakbij mn werk ben en in druk verkeer zit en stoplichten. En soms moet ik op de terugweg meteen beginnen met de rest van de kern. Het zou daarom ook mooi zijn als je in Join zelf kan aanpassen na hoeveel minuten de kern plaatsvindt.

Hi JOIN team, JOIN tells me which workout to do and when, and I use Komoot to plan my outdoor rides. The problem is that the route and the workout rarely fit together: The route duration doesn't match the workout duration, so I either cut intervals short or ride filler kilometres Intervals land in the wrong place: in city traffic with traffic lights and junctions, or on a descent where I can't hold the target power at all Long steady blocks end up on rolling terrain where holding a zone is impossible What I'd like: route planning that is aware of the workout structure. Ideas, roughly in order of usefulness to me: Route check: import or link a Komoot route, and JOIN tells me whether it fits today's workout — total duration match, plus a warning if intervals would fall on descents, in urban sections or on stop-heavy roads Interval placement on a known route: given a route I already ride, JOIN shifts the interval blocks to the segments that actually suit them (climbs or steady flat roads for hard efforts, descents and town sections for recovery) and shows me at which kilometre each block starts Route generation: JOIN suggests or generates a route for today's workout based on my start location, using duration, required continuous stretches and elevation profile as constraints — exportable to Komoot Komoot account connection so routes can be pulled in and pushed back without manual GPX handling

Hi JOIN team, I use JOIN as my training plan and ride my indoor sessions in MyWhoosh. Right now JOIN can export workouts to Wahoo and Zwift, but not to MyWhoosh. My current workaround: export the workout to TrainingPeaks, then import it from TrainingPeaks into MyWhoosh. That's several manual steps for every single session, and it has to be repeated whenever the plan changes. What I'd like: MyWhoosh as a direct export/sync target, ideally the same "push today's workout" flow that exists for Wahoo and Zwift If a full integration isn't possible short term, a manual .zwo / .erg / .fit download button per workout would already help a lot, since MyWhoosh can import those files directly Ideally the sync also works the other way around, so completed rides from MyWhoosh come back into JOIN and count towards the plan MyWhoosh has grown a lot as a free Zwift alternative, so I suspect I'm not the only JOIN user in this situation. Even the download-only option would remove the TrainingPeaks detour. Thanks!

On a day without a Join training scheduled I would like the opportunity to scroll through a Join training database with available (light) rides I could do and not only create my own.

Hi, When running with my Garmin the suggested range from Join will generally be between (ex.) 5:32 and 5:42. Garmin shows the pace in 5 second intervals, so it is really hard to stay in this zone. I’d like to be able to adjust this zone to 20 seconds in the app by default.(default for non-join Garmin workouts) This will improve the workout score as it is very difficult to essentially stay in the zone recommended by JOIN and keeping the Garmin from constantly noting me being out of the zone for a difference of 2s/km Thanks!

Het zal vast al een paar keer gevraagd zijn, maar het zou top zijn als je ‘de dubbel’ als doel kan instellen in Join… Als ik nu EPE als doel invoer, zal die geen rekening houden met de EHM…. dit zou echt een meerwaarde zijn. Gr. Joost Booms. (Team Smit & Partners voor EPE)

The plan adapts to the availability I give, but it does not tell me what the proposed time is for progression. I can only indirectly find this by varying each day and check what this does to my level. When planning I’d like to see “for best success plan x hrs and y training days”. I could still set as many hours as I like.

The idea is you improve during your rest days. Then why does my join score improve directly after a hard exercise and declines during rest days. Doesn’t provide the right motivation and should be possible to slightly tweak the algorithm to let your join score take part of the increase associated with the training on or after a rest day.

Perhaps there could be an interactive feature where you could indicate the FTP you are aiming for by a certain time and an estimate of weekly training hours available. Join could indicate if it’s realistic or you could see what’s realistic by adjusting the aim date or the weekly training hours.

For Outdoor rides, it can be really difficult to make sure you are in a good spot at the beginning of a set of intervals. It would be useful to have a “lap press” before a block of intervals. For example, I wss doing the workout “2 sets of 10-50s” and I was coming to a stop sign and about to turn as the 30min endurance section was ending and the first 10second sprint was about to start. It would be nice to have the intervals only start after an additional press so I could get through the intersection before starting. Thanks.

Why? Simply to avoid cycle sessions with high power and low cadence after or before legs lifter or pull lifter sessions with heavy squats or dead lifts. The focus should more on stamina and VO2max. Simply ask the user about the power/weight lift sessions to provide some more usefull cycle sessions, thanks a lot for your effort.

Could we have an "indoor" mode with fixed watt target so that ERG mode can work? For example, an outdoor workout requiring between 120 and 140W could be available in indoor mode at a fixed 130W.

Hello, would it perhaps be interesting to create a section for recovery training in the JOIN app, alongside the various training types such as endurance and strength? Including cadence and power. Recovery is also an important form of training and contributes to better fitness. Currently, when I do a recovery workout, I sometimes don't know exactly what power and cadence I should be pedaling at. Thank you. Jan Verhulst

I want to schedule a weakly recurring group ride instead of adding one every single weak.

Regardless of how well the ride matched the suggested training, it would be nice to get a feedback/summary of how the ride that was performed, providing insight in if it had a training purpose, or was a good performance, or maybe ruining the progress made, anything, followed by a recommendation how to continue next (next time, do something specific a bit different, or do so again, or a little easier first, or all out next time, etc). I used formbeat for a short while, next to Join, and it provided me similar suggestions as Join, even though formbeat doesn’t have the ability to provide availability for the coming week, and always suggested a training of something like an hour, or a rest day. However after any ride it provided a very insightful and motivating feedback (also to not always go all out). I decided to still use Join, because of it ability to provided availability for the week, so it can better plan trainings, but the motivating and meaningful feedback does appeal to me.

Currently Join allows me to set availability only for a few days in advance. However, this means that holiday periods (e.g. 1-2 weeks off the bike) cannot be taken into account for periodisation. For example, I recently started a training plan 4 weeks before my vacation, and I was still slowly building up fatigue in the training block when I went on vacation. I’d expect that if I can enter the vacation days in advance, join can create a shorter training block so that the vacation overlaps with the recovery week.

When prescribing a workout, join should suggest a recommended fuelling (e.g. HIT-session: 100g CHO/h; LIT-session (<90 min): 0-40g CHO/h (depending on following days/workouts etc.)). Then in the feedback window, you should be able to insert your total CHO intake, which could be taken into account by join somehow as well for further planning.
