Last week we mentioned that we’re using data from millions of rides to help improve our training plans.
We’ve already updated Sweet Spot Base I/II Mid and Low
How do I update a plan on the calendar to reflect these changes?
There are two types of changes: Workout updates and workout changes. You don’t have to do anything for in place workout changes, they are automatically reflected on your calendar.
Workout Updates
We’ve tweaked some of our workouts to get you faster. For the

Workout Change
We’ve switched out some of the workouts on our plans with different workouts. You can view these changes in our build plan changelog.
If you see something like this, Junction —> Junction -1 in the changelog then that’s a workout change.
If you want to change your current plan to reflect these workout changes you have two choices:
1) Remove the plan from your calendar and re-add it
2) Find the specific workouts we changed and update those manually

Moving Forward
Our next plans to update will be our Road Race plans.
We’ll continue this process for the rest of our plans. After that, we’ll then continually tweak them as we use our data to learn how to make cyclists even faster.

Please create a workout plan for beginners and masters. A sweet spot Saturday workout that is 30 minutes longer, increased watts, increased interval length, and suggested increase cadence is a little to much for us. An increase of a couple of those, but all of them? What program do you suggest for newbies or masters? I like a challenge, but at 64, I have limits.
Hi, Becky! These Forum discussions from a number of our Masters athletes will definitley help you find some recommended adjustments that can be made to the Sweet Spot Base plans, along with this open Feature Request thread for Masters athletes that discusses ways in which plans can be modified outside of Plan Builder. There are ultimately a handful of ways to edit your plan (including the +1/-1 variations for workouts, rearranging your ‘difficult’ training days, or substituting difficult days completely), so while there is no right answer for every athlete, we definitely recommend you take a look at those Forum discussions to see other Masters rider’s experiences in what modifications are successful for them.
If you need help with the variations within Plan Builder or in the workout variations, feel free to reach out to the support team with any specific questions, or if you need a more comprehensive look at your plan. They’ll be happy to point you in the right direction!
