Ending training plan 20 days out from the event (Haute Route 3 days)

This is the type of thing TR made the Plan Builder to address.

Introducing Plan Builder!

You now have the ability to build a custom plan leading up to your goal event with Plan Builder. This has been added to Early Access and is ready for beta testing! Why Plan Builder?

Especially if you haven’t finished SSB 1, you should be able to use Plan Builder to basically recreate your plan, but with the extra 3 weeks filled in. Just backdate the plan start so it starts at the same time you started SSB 1.

From what I’ve seen, depending on your experience, it’ll put 3 weeks of SSB 2 in between Build and Spec, or it’ll put 3 weeks of Build in between SSB 1 and SSB 2.

Tks jpowers…i’m in the 8th week of SSB…will have a go at plan builder when I’m done with SSB. Sounds like the most appropriate thing to do.

cheers
