Hey guys, I would like to know how to integrate my training camp in Tucson Arizona thats happening from march 20 to the 28th of this year. We are 5 guys, most of us at the same fitness level who will be doing 4 to 6 hours a day of zone2-3 (endurance + sweetspot). We have been in Virginia the last 2 …

If it was me I would just keep the plan leading up to the training camp as is. If you’re feeling fatigued you can do an easy ride on the Saturday to start your recovery week early. Then do your camp and replace your Tuesday Anaerobic when you get back with an easy ride.

You wouldn’t use the week to deload to avoid going fatigued to the camp?

C Event, With Type = Stage Race [image] Volume Block / Training Camp: C "Event" Stage Race? Training If I want to do an unstructured (but mostly z2) volume block, what’s the best way to get plan builder to incorporate it? It’s not ‘time off’ but also I won’t …

So it’ll remove the workouts schedule on those days and reprogram the before and after ? what would you categorize a 4 to 6 hour zone 2 ride with some sweetspot ? Easy , moderate, hard? If l look at my other years in camp, most of my rides are around .65 to .70 IF

That’s my understanding. 4-6 hour endurance + sweet spot sounds moderate to me. But once you categorize it and assign the time it will give you a TSS estimate so you can go back and edit appropriately if you have similar reference rides.

I’d play around with having it in the plan as a B race as well. Or go the whole hog and set the camp up as an A race, and have two separate plans, one leading up to and culminating with the camp, and another running from the week after the camp to the “real" A race. Hopefully it’ll taper you in to…

[image] Harrbear: You wouldn’t use the week to deload to avoid going fatigued to the camp? If the camp starts the 20 you already have almost a week to deload. If you feel the need to have a full week you ride easy on the 14 as well. You can always enter the camp as a C-race, but the only thi…

Thanks, makes sense. here’s what I did. I added the camp as a C race day to day and deleted the workouts on those same days. What’s weird is that the system bugged and created a new base phase as of today and there are 2 plans side to side now. One that is my current that’s been running since Jan 4…

I would try to delete the new plan and maybe also the C-races you put in and se if it reverts back to how it was. If you’re going to delete the workouts manually yourself anyways there is no reason to add C-races. To be clear, you don’t have to do anything with your plan for the period you are away…

[IMG_2410] Here’s what I mean. Why did this pop up out of nowhere and having me run a double plan ?
