I’m on the last week of my LV century plan, the last taper week. Plan builder has an opener and a easy threshold workout that is way below my progression level on my calendar. When looking at the Training Plans tab, though, the threshold workout in the last week is a longer, challenging, “Productive” workout in addition to the opener. Has anybody else notice this discrepancy in their final taper week?
When looking at training plans it takes your current PLs and builds out your plan, it’s not static workouts. So if you’re looking at the Specialty plan’s final taper week, it’s not recommended now, it’s recommended in 8 weeks where you would be if you started that phase today.
Thanks for the response. I am aware that is how it works. That’s not what’s happening here. If the training plans are estimating where I could be if I nail all of the workouts, then my calendar should have a workout that reflects roughly where I am. Instead, it’s about 4 PLs lower than my current PL.
Thinking about it more, I think the training plans may have changed since they were added to my calendar. It looks like they don’t taper as much as they used to. I wonder why my calendar didn’t change along with the plans??
Thanks for the clarification. It would be nice if calendars updated automatically with the plans. I almost always use alternates that match the recommended PL, but with a different duration because my schedule is not consistent.
If you move any A or B race (you can move back) plan Builder will ask if you want to update your plan. Do this and you will have the most current version.
It can be even easier than that:
-
Open the leading annotation on the calendar for any phase in a training plan.
-
Click the “Update” button at the bottom and then the plan will be updated. No need to manipulate or add events.
