Hello Is there a way to build a custom training plan? I know you can build custom workouts, but was wondering if there is a function to create my own training plan structure with pre made workouts? Thanks ---

If I want to create my own block/period of training, I simply select the sessions from the TR workout library and drop them into my calendar. Of course this could be considered as unstructured but I do think about my goals for the training block and ensure that my TSS is gradually increasing. ---

Thank you, yes this is what I currently do, but didn’t know if there was a way of saving these custom structured plans down for later use ---

No, there is no way to save or reuse a custom plan right now. It’s been discussed and requested a while back. - [Custom Training Plan Templates (Feature Request #1)](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/feature-request-custom-plans/3497) The best you can do now is make your plan. Then if you want to reuse some or all of it, Copy the entire week (one at a time, for as many as needed) into the future planned dates. ---

I know TR is all about following the plans coach Chad has created, and I know we can tweak the plans through the calendar, which is awesome, but I would like to be able to take one of the TR plans and then tweak it and then save that plan so that I can then reuse it again. Not sure how useful this would be to other TR users but thought I would put it out there as a potential future update. Keep up the great work guys! ---

I would like to request a feature: to be able to add a training plan to the calendar and have a workout occur every x number of days. I work every 3rd day and only plan on doing TR workouts on the days after shift. That gives me a workout every 3rd day. As it is I have to go through the whole calendar and move every workout after the first. I’m sure my workouts are not in order but I went for the Time Crunch plan anyway so it probably doesn’t matter. ---

@Nate_Pearson, @chad, @Pete, @Jonathan - is a custom plan anywhere on the radar? Maybe you’ve discussed it on the podcast, but I must admit that I haven’t been keeping up lately. Given that I like skiing in the winter and can’t forecast what family-related event will arise, it would be awesome to save specific weeks or an entire plan in case I need to adjust on the fly. Otherwise, I find myself having to shift each workout one-by-one and that gets time-consuming. Thanks! ---

I’d still like to do this but it’s not near term. You can copy and paste weeks off a plan right now that is on your calendar. Soon, you’ll be able to apply certain weeks of a training plan to your calendar. ---

@Nate_Pearson Does this mean you can copy an entire week at once? If so, how? Or that you can duplicate a week by copying the individual days? ---

Yup, you can copy a whole week. In the calendar you can click on the three dots to the right and select ‘copy week’ ---

Would love this feature. I’m in the beginning stages of putting together a training block. Not quite ready to add them to the calendar but I wish I was able to add them to some kind of plan template so I can take my time to formulate it, and then just drop that into my calendar when I’m ready. Basically the equivalent to adding a current base and build plan from the standard library, but instead a plan I made with a mix of TR workouts and some of my own creations. ---

I’d actually like somewhat the opposite: the ability to turn part of the calendar into a customer training plan. That is: - Add workouts to the calendar - Be able to select start date & end date from the calendar, and convert the workouts in that range to a plan with a custom name. And in the future be able the customer plan Super awesome would be to share the plan so that other TR folks could use it / customize it. This would go a ways to answering the call for polarized or other types of plans that TR doesn’t currently offer / doesn’t plan on offering. ---

Exactly! your rec goes hand in hand. There’s lots of talk polarized plans like you said and even ‘Chads vO2 max prograssion plan’ that gets talked about a lot. Only way of sharing these is a list of workouts that you then have to go look up in the library yourself. ---

+1 Custom training plans would be great. Especially if we could use the existing as source to start from. ---

I think it would be good to have a plan option for people looking to increase volume etc over time. From Low to Mid. A plan increasing volume week by week would be pretty good. ---

@IvyAudrain, I think there are two distinct asks: 1. The ability to “save” a set of workouts as a group / template, with the ability to add that group / template all at once. Similar to how someone could add a TR plan to their calendar, with the plan composed of many workouts in a specific sequence 2. An “Advanced” mode for Plan Builder that would all more customization options [Previous page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/custom-training-plan-templates-feature-request-1/3497.md?page=1) [Next page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/custom-training-plan-templates-feature-request-1/3497.md?page=3)
