trainerroad gave me a class schedule of Monday, Wednesday, Friday Monday vo2max 1hr, Wednesday Anaerobic 1hr, Friday Threshold 90min, I usually train in the morning and after trying for a few months to wake up half an hour earlier on Fridays and feeling sleep deprived, I don’t know if it’s unreason…

@Hugh_Laurie , +1000 to what @BrianSpang just referenced… Here is a couple visuals to go along with that if still unclear… [one] [two] Doing it this way WILL require you to change each block individually, but it’s certainly quicker than changing each Friday workout on it’s own.

I am not sure you can adjust an existing plan, though there has been more flexibility added on plan setup recently. I think you should pick the workout duration you can do consistently. That is more important than the extra 30 minutes you fail often.

[image] fasterthanever: I am not sure you can adjust an existing plan, though there has been more flexibility added on plan setup recently You can. I’m doing low volume masters and for whatever reason the master’s has me doing 90 threshold. I changed it to 60. Ain’t nobody got time for that. …

@Hugh_Laurie , In the calendar, select your Friday workout, then “alternate”, and set duration to 60 mins and swap an appropriate workout. Look for something similar, maybe one less interval or same intervals but shorter. You can do the same thing when you load the workout in the app. M.

You can change the duration for your entire plan you don’t have to do it one at a time. Search the TR FAQs but basically look for you plan name, click it or it might be in the training block and you can make the adaptation. Someone here can probably insert a graphic to show you how to do it.

I have a very similar issue and was wondering myself; do I set it to 60 mins in TR and pick a 90 min alternate when I have time, or do I set it to 90 in TR and do 60 when I dont have time? :thinking: :laughing:

I’ve set my originally 90 min threshold workout to 45mins. I had originally changed it to 1h but I moved to a new place and I’m taking a little more care with setting things up. A shorter duration fits with my works/ sleep schedule at the moment.

To change your plan’s training time for any day of the week: In Calendar, find where the training block starts (there is a little box on that calendar day showing the name of the block). Click on that box. It will open up your availability for each day of the week. Modify accordingly.

+1001 But there is a bug with some old plans (at least there was a few weeks back) and after you update the times they wont or will revert back to the default (90 mins). If that occurs @Hugh_Laurie contact support ( support@trainerroad.com ) and they’ll guide you through to deleting your old plan an…

The issue I have is while I’ve changed the 90 min threshold workouts to 60 min; whenever there’s a suggested adaptation it always suggests 90 min workouts. So naturally I reject them. Come to think of it I probably should accept and then pick an 60 min alternative.

That related to the bug in old plans. Contact support@trainerroad.com and they’ll lead you through the process of deleting your old plan and replacing it with a new one based around the old plans date so you won’t lose anything and it’ll adapt correctly in future.
