Ok, I tried the search but didn’t find what I am looking for.
I want to create a plan that integrates my resistance training.
I aim for 3 sessions of strength training and roughly 3 hours of riding per week. How do I integrate this into a plan? I just found the triathlon plans. Is there a way to create a plan and add in my planned strength work? Or du I just create the sessions as repeating sessions in the calendar and the plans will adapt via AI?
Thanks for the help, and I would be grateful if you point me into the right direction if a have overlooked something.
I cycle about 8 hrs and lift around 2 hrs each week. The days in which each happen may vary based on my schedule. Most importantly, I aim for heavy leg lifting sessions on high intensity cycling days, after the cycling workout (ideally a 6 am ride and afternoon lift. The following day is always rest or a recovery ride. I’ve been lifting so long that my upper body workouts have no impact on any part of the program.
Hmm ok. At the moment, I tried to schedule them on alternating days. Mo - FB Strength Tu - Vo2max We - FB Strength Th - Zone2 Fr - FB Strength Sat - Rest Su - Zone2 At the moment, try to avoid 2 sessions a day and give me at least 18 hours between sessions (Tue evening and Wed lunch break, for example). Ok, but there is no way to put it in the custom plan. Just pre-plan the strength sessions, follow an AI program, and observe the changes in the program?
I apologize, I didnt read your question properly. You aren’t looking to change your workout, only how it schedules.
I just have my strength training upload from my watch/Strava to TrainerRoad. I don’t schedule it as part of the plan. Probably not much help, but I don’t feel that TR’s mechanism for categorizing strength training sets (only those to failure) is the proper method.
Exactly. I focus on heavy compound lifts, and I never train to failure with squats and deadlifts. I aim for 1-0 reps, but never full failure. Only on exercises like curls, etc., do I go all out. The system is weird. Either they should count the overall set count, overall weight moved, or RPE. The working set metric is strange.
ah ok, I see.
