Wamt to play with thisā¦but also donāt want to ruin/delete my painstakingly self planned whole year ahead plans Iāve doneā¦does it show you the recommendations before clicking go?
Suppose I could put same events in for 2021 and run plan builder for 2021 to play with it - would that work?
Iām unable to schedule a plan with the Plan Builder. In the last step when I press āschedule planā it loads for a few seconds then nothing happens. Nothing appears in my calendar.
I tried it with Chrome and Brave as a browser. I use a windows 10 computer.
Edit: It is the data (I think) which I used to make it fail. When I tried without adding an event everything went just fine. When I added my events it wouldnāt schedule the plan to my calendar
Fantastic feature. Can you add an overview after we add it to calendar? On link to overview like shown at the end of the build process.
Thanks
Great, just in time to plan for next year too! No wonder everyone was super busy 
Hi, as a couple of others have mentioned, Iām approaching the end of SSB1 MV. Going through the plan it has me repeating 3 weeks before moving into SSB2. I dont really want to repeat these weeks - is there a way of selecting the start plan? Next year when starting afresh it looks awesome!!!
I added an April and a September A race. It worked out the plan for both!
Yes, you can preview prior to accepting it
Man Iām loving it !!!
It worked really well for me. Gave me the build for my 2 A events. Iāll have to pick some of my B events now and see how it works!
Two things
I threw in a few of my races next year and one thing I noticed is that it seems to struggle with very high TSS B events. As in during what should be a non recovery week there is only 2 one hour workouts during the week on Tuesday and Wednesday (on high volume plan) when I have a 300 TSS race on the saturday, but it still includes a pretty large workout the day after, which seems contrived. A screenshot is below.
I get that it is probably just compensating for the a large hit of TSS in one day, however I am wondering if there is a better way to do this. Cutting volume prior to the event doesnāt seem as important as after the event to fully recover.
In my opinion just dropping days because you have a hard workout on the weekend isnāt a very elegant solution, especially considering this is on a high volume plan when you are on the bike 6 days a week even during the recovery week. Maybe if you have a really high TSS B race the plan could replace your normal workouts with a ā-1ā or ā-2ā variants for a couple of days before and after the race to compensate for this additional TSS, or maybe even schedule an aerobic recovery day instead of an interval session on Tuesday or something like that. Although I imagine that this would probably be a pretty considerable change to how this feature works.
Also, donāt know if it was planned but the schedule didnāt include an opener workout the day before my A race (or B races when I checked the āopeners for B racesā option). It might say you can add these or not in the weekly tips but I think it would be nicer to include an opener workout in the plan so people have a structure and good idea of what that might be.
I also put in an A race at the end of July, after the previous A race at the start of May. It structured the time so there is 1 recovery week after a full training cycle before jumping into Sustained power high volume and Century plan. That seems pretty full on, including a rest block of a few recovery weeks if you two A races more than 8 weeks apart would be good I think.
There seems to be room for improvement on how the feature structures training around events. Having said that, it is a pretty cool feature and will give people structure to a whole season with little thought or room for confusion. Hope some of that is useful.
This is really an awesome feature and a big step in a very important direction.
If I may ask for more, Iād really appreciate, if the builder would make recommendations based on my training I did the last weeks (and not asking me about only hours in the last weeks as a first step). TR has all the information, not only time but TSS and IF, so the builder could make very precise recomendations on the best volume and intensity for the next weeks.
It would be then awesome, if the builder could also include a progression in volume.
For example, it could ask me, how many days Iād like to train. And if my current fitness would allow only a low volume approach, it could help build me up from a low volume to a mid volume plan.
Maybe I ask for too much, but you have so much data and itād be awesome if thatād be included in the planning.
Fantastic feature guys - Iāve just been having a play with it and first impressions are super positive 
Question - Iām currently third of the way through SSB LV2.
I donāt want to repeat SSB1 & SSB2 and would like to go into the build portion of my training ahead of a B event multi day Fondo in March and then my A event (short course Crit) in April
Is it possible to tell the builder that Iāve already done the base training part of ābase-build-specialityā?
Currently the system sets me up for an abridged B-B-S that is based around me starting the programme at a date just after SSBLV2 ends (end of December 2019).
Or do I have to re-set my entire training back to a date I the past (when I actually began my SSBLV1 in September) so that it can then take all this time into account?
Thanks again for this great new feature 
Dave
Nice feature!
I just set up a training plan for next year, starting January 6th. It has me starting with SSB LV1. However, it starts at week two of SSB, omitting the first week which starts with the ramp test. There is a block notation for Base1 in the week before the start of the plan so it seems to be a bug.
Cheers!
This looks fantastic, thanks to all at TR!
Iād like to see some more detail on the step where you choose your experience level. The phrases āsome interval trainingā vs āa lot of interval trainingā are subjective and in my case that choice has a significant impact on the generated plan. Iām not sure which way I will go.
Ideally this level could be chosen automatically based on our prior workout history, but Iām sure thatās something for the future! In the meantime, having more guidelines around making this choice would help a lot.
Experimenting now, but am stuck on āeventsā tab - have added a few A and B events, any ideas why I canāt click next?
They need to be a minimum of 8 weeks apart I believe. Although Iām not sure why as thatās an issue I would have imagined.
I read A events do, and I only have one of them. Will try and mark a couple of the less important āBā as āCā and see what happens.
EDIT: Nothingā¦
What if I want to go the traditional base route instead of the ssb1 and 2?
Iām guessing itās still being developed as itās pretty inflexible at the moment.
Is the last event an A event? I thought I saw someone above say it didnāt like if their season didnāt end on an A race.
For us older folks, is there a way to switch on added rest weeks (i.e. 3 rest weeks over the SSBHV1&2 or rest weeks every 3 rather than 4 weeks in build)? Or do I need to do this manually and shift things around?
