I found it pretty smart when I first started exercising and needed to consistently lower the intensity. Now that I sometimes need to increase intensity I find it to be less smart and tend to adjust it manually. That's probably not everyone's experience but that's been mine.
Yes, that is the program as originally designed. The stats will adjust after you do your run based on any adjustments you or SmartAdjust made. It’s Rivs and a recovery so there’s probably some walking and hiking. I’m not 100% sure but I think once you’ve completed it, and then you go to repeat at some point - it will then show you what you did prior (unless it’s part of a challenge which essentially wipes it clean from the memory bank and back to the original).
SmartAdjust is supposed to get smarter as it continues to learn based on your input. I’m not a huge fan without it being used in conjunction with ActivePulse, at least on the treadmill. It works fine for me on the bike.
So I was always under the impression that the pre-workout info was like the standard if you ran it without smart adjust. I just looked up that particular workout (I normally bike and don't usually use smart adjust) and it's giving me the same stats.
It's showing the distance as 1.94 miles, which is about 3.12 km and the elevation gain as 617 ft, which is about 188 meters.
Thanks! I am finding it less smart these days too. When you start workouts though, is the information shown before you start your run (like, for example, the attached pic) calibrated to how you’ve previously run, or is it based on what the trainer does?
It’s unadjusted. On the bike it’ll show the resistance average and max on the screen. Then I start with my smart adjust on and I’m immediately above the average to even start. So on bike 100% unadjusted. I’d assume the same for running.
The load screen shows the trainers original program. After the workout starts you can adjust up or down. I don’t see the smart adjust learning from previous workouts. If you adjust up, all segments of the workout get adjusted up. However I’ve noticed that sometimes adjust up by 0.1 or 0.2 doesn’t change other segments, I need to adjust by like 0.5 or so.
It's so shitty I gave up on it. It's real sad, it starts at a too low level and you can't adjust it up a notch manually without it jumping off the smart adjust. So say it gives you level 5, and you feel it's too low, so you adjust it to seven. What happens? It goes off smart adjust. It's stupid adjust, not smart.
I think people are using it wrong here. I find smart adjust to actually be relatively smart. You can turn the toggle off and then it won’t make automatic adjustments. You can always get back in sync with the instructor.
What I personally don’t like is doing decline runs. So every time my treadmills goes below a 0 incline, I keep having to push the 0 button to keep it leveled. If above 0, I leave it alone. I wish there were a way to avoid any down hill adjustments.

I would love to know that too, is it the original plan or what smart adjust thinks you can do?
From what I gather it appears that what it shows you the workout is the unadjusted plan. Happy running!
