Hi - great first month with TR. just a question- I add a race to my plan but it does not adapt? Thanks!
Did you set up your plan using plan builder?
Yes
I think for C races it doesnât adapt. Try changing it to a B.
Maybe, but at the very least I would expect a C-Race to replace a workout on a given day. It is effectively a substitution for a planned workout, and I think TR would normally remove a workout on a day when adding a C-Race.
Ah. I didnât notice the same day snafu.
I have the opposite! Add C race and nothing changed.
Gotchu, Mark!
Okay. When adding a C event, youâll be presented the option to recalculate your plan, like this:
If you hit âcancelâ, your event will be added, and your plan will not be adapted by removing any conflicting workouts.
By selecting âRecalculate Plan,â youâll be redirected back through Pan Builder (your previous events, Progression Levels, and plan settings are saved, done worry!) to reapply your plan and remove any workouts that fall on race days.
I just tested and double checked this myself, weâre seeing expected outcomes for those two options.
Try going through adding an event again and make sure to âRecalculate Planâ to remove any conflicting workouts, and let me know if youâre still having issues!
Ok - Thank you. I tried this the first time but something your side or my side went wrong. No worries - will give it another try!
Thanks!
Mark
Trying this - but cant get it to work.
I add it, then do as you say, then you have to put the race in again so you end up with two?
Can I share screen some time?

âCancelâ seems a bit of a confusing choice of term - I would read that as I have the choice of add the event and have the plan recalculate, or abort adding the event altogether.
Prob user error - but from what i can see;
- Add a new race with plus button
- Select âRecalculate Planâ
- The race you just added does not show up in plan builder so have to re enter it,
- Then cancel the original race back in calender.
This seems to work but guess It would be great to go directly into plan builder and edit there but cant see how you can Recalculate Plan without adding an event first.
No problem, Mark, we can help.
Im going to initiate a support line of communication for you, please keep an eye out on your email so we can get this sorted out for you. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the trouble!
Hi @IvyAudrain,
I think I have the same problem. I added C and B races to my existing plan.
But there are days where race plus 90min sweetspot are together.
No good idea.
Sure I can delete or move it manually.
Is this a bug or as designed?
Thx
Christian
Hey Christian, this seems to be an issue the team are aware of. I believe this happens to plans that were originally built with âno eventsâ option selected when going through Plan Builder. Is this the case for you?
While the team is working on a fix, here is the best workaround:
-
Add a dummy race on another day to start Recalculating the training plan.
-
On the Events tab, add the actual Event and then proceed through the remaining steps of Plan Builder.
-
Once the plan is updated, find and delete the dummy race.
Let me know if that works for you. If you have any questions for me, please just let me know!
Great Sarah!
That did work⌠it was a lot of work to create all races new. However, now I know the way.
Many thx
Chris
Great stuff, Chris. Iâm glad that work-around did the trick. I will add your case to the bug report to help our developers get to the bottom of this 
.
I joined TR two weeks ago and I have a few problems. One of those is that I run a lot and even when go for a run, TR still keeps suggesting a hard interval workout instead of reducing the load. Next, when I added a running event to the calendar, it still didnât do anything with a high-load workout scheduled for the same day. I train both cycling and running and I havenât found any app for duathlons. So I use another app for running but was thinking that TR would be good for cycling workouts as it advertises itself as an adaptive app. But 2 weeks into the program and I am burnt out after both running and following all the cycling program. All my runs are visible in the TR calendar so it knows about them. But it does not seem to adapt. Am I doing something wrong here?
Welcome to the TR community!
It sounds like youâre putting in a lot of work with both cycling and running, so Iâll try to clarify how Adaptive Training (AT) interprets and adjusts for your training load.
Training Load and Recovery Days
I checked your TR Calendar, and I see a few âyellow daysâ popping up based on what Red Light Green Light is showing. However, I didnât notice any âred daysâ on your Calendar, which would signal the need for a complete day off.
On yellow days, AT will suggest reducing volume/intensity. It looks like your yellow days mostly fall on rest days from cycling, and even though youâre running on those days, your runs donât appear to be high-stress enough to trigger further adaptations. So, TR sees your training load as manageable and keeps your planned workouts unchanged.
Managing Fatigue
Of course, no software can fully replace your own sense of fatigue. If youâre feeling burnt out, especially from combining running and cycling, it can help to choose an easier cycling session using Workout Alternates. I also noticed youâre active nearly every day; taking one day completely off each week could make a big difference in helping you recover and avoid burnout.
Running Events and Scheduling
Because TR is primarily a cycling and triathlon app, your cycling plan takes priority by default. When you add non-cycling events like a running race, your plan will adapt after those activities are completed. If you have a running workout or race thatâs especially important, you can ignore or delete the overlapping cycling workout from your Calendar. AT will still adapt future cycling sessions based on your updated training load.
Hope this helps, and feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions!
