Was a little late out of bed this morning, so I chose a shorter version of the scheduled workout to fit the time I had. Specifically, I’m on the Low Volume Sweet Spot Base I and today’s scheduled ride was Warlow. I ended up riding Warlow -2 which was the same intensity, but 3 intervals instead of 5. I don’t have another bike workout scheduled until Tuesday (2 days off)\*, but I do have an endurance swim workout tomorrow afternoon. Should I: -Not sweat it, pick the plan back up, as prescribed, on Tuesday -Circle back tomorrow morning and pick up the two intervals I missed. -Ride Warlow -2 again tomorrow, picking up a 6th interval to make up for the fact that I didn’t do the 5 consecutively. What say the forum? (\*FWIW, I would typically add a 20-30 min recovery spin at 55-65% FTP on Sunday or Monday, but that’s hardly what I’d call a workout with the TSS being in the 10-15 range) ---

FWIW I agree with @pwandoff. Embrace the fact that this is life, at least you got some extra rest 🙂 - and move on. The downside of repeating missed workouts is that you may not be fresh in your next workout, underperform there, etc. ---

Don’t sweat it. It’s yesterday’s ride. Don’t let yesterday affect today. ---

Definitely agree with other posters. I would always try to make up or worse, repeat the workout I couldn’t complete and then wonder why I was so tired all the time! Anything is better than nothing. Life happens. Let it not get to ya
