So Plan Builder has decided there’s enough time to give me a partial Build in between Base 1 and Base 2, which makes good sense. Cool. However, it’s got me doing a recovery week next week, then 2 weeks of loading (Build), then going straight into the first five loading weeks of Base 2 without any …

It did the same for me. Worked great, actually. Just make sure you REALLY rest on the rest week.

Users run into that issue from time to time. Look here: [image] Structure of base 1 and 2 Training Is it normal to start Base 1 (4 weeks) rest week Build (1 week)–where I currently am at Base 2 (5 straight weeks) rest week Seems like a wierd to have a week of build a…

Thanks @Rizzi thats helpful to see. Especially to note that it’s not necessarily the intention of the TR training philosophy even if it’s not a priority for them to adjust the software just now. That tells me I’m probably making the right call swapping things around, rather than unwittingly knee-cap…

Yes, TR told me the one week of build between B1 and B2 was a bug they’ve seen. They manually adjusted my plan but still had 6 weeks of B2 without a recovery week in the middle. As a 53 year old, I don’t want to do a VO2, Thresh and SS every week for 6 weeks. I dragged and dropped the weeks to ha…

Good to hear that TR is tracking it as a bug. And good call to insert some recovery.

I had a very similar issue [image] Plan builder scheduling strange recovery weeks? Training I had this same problem recently. The recovery weeks were in really odd places, including right before or after vacation weeks. In one spot I had a recovery on the second or third w…

I love TR as a framework but I’ve also offered to others before definitely use it as a tool, and not be so beholden to it. If you’re feeling rough, better judgement may say override the AI plan with a couple recovery days. Or even reducing one workout down to a Z2 ride might be enough reduction to p…

This is an edge case that pops up from time to time depending on the duration of your plan relative to your events and the experience level selected. We’re keeping track of when these happen so we can work on improving Plan Builder, so we appreciate the heads up! Seven weeks without a recovery week…

Thanks @ZackeryWeimer . I think I’ve swapped things round as required, but do feel free to take a look and see if our thinking is aligned. Appreciate the input from TR here. Cheers
