If I’m on a TR plan and I know I’m going to do a long ride, say, in a weeks time how do I put it into the calendar so the planned workouts before it change in order to take it into account?
Hey @carytb 
It doesn’t look like you have a plan set in place yet.
If this is a one-off long ride you’ll be doing, then we recommend just recording the ride and letting the plan adjust future workouts after the effort. Or you can always swap a TR Workout to be a Solo/Group Ride effort.
Plans adapt in a forward movement; think of it as live adaptations to future workouts as you complete your training.
Alternatively, you can treat these long rides as B Events, so the plan schedules your training around them.

Thanks. I’m a lapsed subscriber and thinking about trying TR again when I get back from holiday at the end of September. In my previous attempts to use TR it’s always fallen down for me as I do lot of unstructured long rides particularly in the summer. There is no pattern to them as it depends on our fickle UK weather and we tend to plan them a week or so ahead. If I decide to subscribe again I’ll try it with a mixture of C & B events and see what happens
Perfect! You can always reach out to me then and we can create one together.

Just one more question.
If like today I did a 4+ HR ride on a day where say a 4 x 15 min Sweet Spot ride was scheduled in my plan and I managed to work those intervals into the ride and then associated the ride with workout would
-
The ride count towards the Progression Levels as if I’d done the workout inside and
-
Would the whole ride be considered for the Red Light Green Light feature.
Thanks
Ask away @carytb!
Yes to both, however, I would only match the workout if you actually followed the instructions for the interval work within those 4 hours. If you randomly fitted intervals into the ride, then it doesn’t count, haha.
Alternatively, you can break the ride file into 2-3, depending on when you are doing the interval work, by stopping and saving each piece.
For example, I ride for an hour unstructured (stop and save ride), do the interval work (stop and save ride), ride for 2 hours unstructured (stop and save ride).
With the example above, you will have 3 ride files sync to TR, and you’d match the correct one to the TR Workout.
