Preparing for ZRL Race Series - A Race?

1

I want to train for the ZRL 4 Race Series starting in September. It’s one race every week for a month. It’s not possible to insert four A races in such a short time period. What would be a good solution?

I’m thinking of setting the first race as my A race, and then focusing on maintaining my fitness for three weeks using AI suggested rides. Would that be a good way to do it?

If any one of the races is more important than the others, I’d make that one the A race. Otherwise, my approach would be to make the last race your A race, and all the others B races. :man_shrugging:

Wouldn’t the training for Zwift Racing plan be the recommended choice?

I tried editing the plan both ways, setting the A race as the first or last race. The plan didn’t make sense when I set it for the last race, because the Specialty Phase would overlap the whole series. (it doesn’t make sense for me to do a 90 minute VO2MAX session on the same day as a race!) Instead I went with setting the first race as A, so that I will enter Race One sharp, at the end of the Specialty Phase.

You shouldn’t have workouts scheduled on the same day as races. :thinking:

If you’re seeing that, there’s either an issue with how you’ve set things up or possibly a bug.

Let me know if you’d like me to take a closer look. :+1:
