Show Notes

  1. Workout Reserve is a real-time model of performance capacity. Built on rolling averages and historical max efforts, it tells you how close you are to your limits at any moment—no need for assumptions about physiology or static thresholds like FTP or W′.

  2. Durability, finally quantified. As fatigue accumulates, your recovery and output capacity change. Workout Reserve captures this shift second-by-second, offering a practical, mechanical view of how durability affects your session performance.

  3. AI coaching is evolving—fast. With tools like RAG-AI and large language models, the way we interact with training data is changing. Andrea discusses how Athletica is poised to lead this shift, blending robust exercise science with smarter, more intuitive interfaces.
