RestOrTrain vs TrainerRoad

RestOrTrain builds its understanding of your strengths and limitations alongside your training history. It learns from conversations and ride notes, keeping what it learns organized for endurance training. Every answer draws on that knowledge. You can read the facts remembered from your chats in the Memory list on the Profile tab.
