Hi folks, I’ve been playing around with the plan builder and it always gives me sweet spot base… should there be an option to choose traditional base?

Traditional Base is not recommended and the polarized plans are in the experimental phase. So you will always get sweet spot.

I don’t believe this is possible within the confines of Plan Builder today, as I believe TR’s “preferred” methodology for base training is SS given their “time crunched athletes” mantra. I suspect folks utilizing a traditional base approach aren’t using Plan Builder.
Perhaps add it as a feature request if it’s not already there?

When I went through Plan Builder, both Traditional and Polarized Base were available to me. I’ve just completed 2 separate six blocks of Polarized Base and I’m onto Sustained Build after Xmas. I don’t know why you are only seeing SS Base.

Traditional isn’t an option. Polarized is. But, Plan Builder doesn’t assign it. You have to add the plan to your calendar with SSB assigned, and then go into it and change it from SSB to Polarized.

That works and is how I’ve made similar changes in the past. But Sarah showed that it’s actually possible to make the swap inside the an Builder process too. Two ways to get there.

Oh wow! Thanks for that. I just used PB this morning and had no idea it was there. I’m an experienced user and still never would have guessed it was under “customize days”.

Thanks all.
@trainnerroad I think you’d do well to have the choice of base phase as one you need to make or at least v clear that it’s available. Some people will assume sweetspot base is their only option and be put off (rightly or wrongly)
