💥 Dr. Andrea Zignoli wants you to understand that Workout Reserve is not just another performance metric—it’s a breakthrough in how we track and interpret what athletes can actually do in real time.

In Part 2 of this deep-dive on the Training Science Podcast, Andrea and Paul explore why traditional models like W′ fall short, and how Workout Reserve offers a more flexible, mechanical (not physiological) way to understand athlete capability. Plus, they tackle the future of AI coaching—how RAG-AI and Large Language Models are reshaping how athletes and coaches engage with data.

📊 Why Workout Reserve works when W′ doesn’t
⚙️ How mechanical models sidestep physiological guesswork
⏱️ Real-time fatigue, durability, and “limiting tau” explained
🧠 The future of AI coaching: RAG-AI, LLMs, and agents in training platforms

💥 AI in COACHING & TRAINING – Revolutionizing Performance 🚀

Dr. Andrea Zignoli wants you to understand that before AI can be useful in coaching and training, modelling must come first.

In Episode 157 of The Training Science Podcast, Andrea returns to unpack how models like Critical Power, Banister TRIMP, and HRV response curves provide the structure AI needs to make smart, adaptable decisions. This is the foundation of Athletica’s AI-driven training—and why it matters now more than ever.

🔍 Why “modelling first” beats black-box AI every time
📊 Building with science: CP, TRIMP, MMP, and structured periodization
🧠 How natural language AI (LLMs) are reshaping coach-athlete data interaction
🧭 The GPS analogy that explains it all
