Is there an item in the feature backlog enabling a user to indicate more frequent recovery weeks? A 2 on - 1 off template is common among older athletes and those who don’t recover as quickly (like myself). If not, is there guidance I could leverage to determine how to break up the current training…

No automatic way of doing it as far as I know but there have been previous threads on how to adjust the plans to include more recovery weeks. This might be a good place to start, both in terms of how it can work, and how to actually do it on the calendar: [image] Alternate Sweet Sp…

As linked above, that covers the Sweet Spot Base pattern changing: From 5:1 + 5:1 = 12 Weeks Total To 4:1 + 3:1 + 3:1 = 13 Weeks Total I am currently testing my own change in Build and have been meaning to document it, so here is the first draft: From 3:1 + 3:1 = 8 Weeks Total To 2:1 + 2:1 + 2…

Good stuff. I’m learning that Build beats me up and I may need to move to something like that. Currently I just started making z2 days easier (Pettit-1) and recovery weeks easier (SSB1 recovery week). I will look to make those 2 hour Sunday rides a bit easier as well because I’m carrying too much fa…

Thanks for the template. My original reply asked a question you clearly answered at the bottom of your comment. :slight_smile: Appreciate the guidance!

Hi, I do best with 3-week training periods (2 progressive training weeks followed by 1 week rest). Many plans use a 4-week period, but TR often schedules 5 weeks before a rest week. There’s not enough recovery in that plan for older riders. I’ve seen the suggestions for a 9-day week. But I’d rather …

@mcneese.chad - can we add this to the other requests for Masters plans/more rest weeks? I want to bump those votes up!

I am all for merging, but this one is a bit muddy (hence why I haven’t done it yet despite considering this yesterday). Here are some candidates that I am waffling between: Plan Builder for Masters Age Athletes [Feature Request] Ability to schedule recovery weeks more frequently (2 on, 1 off)…

I hear you. They all merge together. It surprises me that it’s not higher priority given how many high frequency requests it would solve. I was pretty surprised to see running was a higher priority than masters plans and recovery weeks.

That would be amazing! I actually do better with more weeks of training before my recovery week. This week was my first week back after the recovery and it hurts to bring my heart rate back to what used to be a comfortable uncomfortable high rate.

While talking about making plans even more personalized, - it would be fantastic if we in the builder had the opportunity to enter how much time we had for training each day,as in Monday, 75min; Tuesday, 0min, Wednesday 90min etc.

That particular idea is already covered by a separate Feature Request:
