Achievability is determined by evaluating a number of different aspects about you, your historical performance and training patterns, the target goal date and the nature of the improvements you are looking for by that time.

In this step of the set up guide, Forecast AI attempts to estimate whether the goal you’ve selected – goal date, focus, power increase / specificity and your maximum weekly hours – can be achieved.  Forecast AI estimates the fitness signature needed to reach these results.  If the increases in your Threshold Power, High Intensity Energy and Peak Power can be achieved by the target date, you will see:

This indicates that if you following the generated training plan, the Target Fitness Signature will most likely be reached by the date and that this fitness level will enable you to reach the power goal you have selected.  Note that you’ll need to Run Forecast AI before achievability can be further asserted and a training plan to reach the goal created.

The larger the increase in power you look for, the longer it will take to reach the goal and the more number of weekly hours will be needed.  Depending on the focus/specificity you choose, will determine which of the 3 fitness signature values need to increase to best achieve the goal.

If the goal cannot be reached in time, the parameters that are in question will be indicated and you will see:

If reaching the goal will depend on factors that cannot be assessed immediately, you will see:

or if you don’t have enough hours to train:
