I’ve started using TR around a month ago. I’m on a high volume masters plan, with A events coming in mid June and early November. So I’ve been going through the base phase for now.
Unfortunately I’ve had a bike crash that has kept me away from training for two weeks. I’ve logged the injury on TR, but it doesn’t seem to lead to adaptations in the calendar.
So I’m wondering what the best way to approach to this is. Shall I just resume training with the current plan once I’m back on the bike, ignoring there were many skipped sessions and some fitness loss in the meantime? Shall I recreate the plan, with the same A events and let TR suggest a new schedule from now on?
I’m curious to read what the most common approach is and whether there are any different opinions on this.
For context: 320w FTP / 70 kg prior to injury. Before starting this plan I was already doing high volume (though mostly unstructured), typically anything between 12 and 17 hours per week. The vast majority of my riding is done on the trainer.
Thanks for helping!
I would be inclined to try to pick up the plan that you already started. Answer the post workout surveys accurately to cause adjustments as appropriate.
If, however, you find the workouts to be consistently too hard, you may need to retest your FTP and replan.
Best wishes for a full and fast recovery.

Welcome to the TR community – sorry to hear about the crash! Hope you’re healing up well.
It looks like you have a new plan (or perhaps edited?) applied to your TR Calendar that begins tomorrow, is that correct?
If so, any adaptations from the time off due to injury will be applied tomorrow when your new block begins (adaptations are only applied per block – it looks like you deleted the missed workouts under the injury annotation, so there aren’t any workouts to be adapted there).
So tomorrow, when that new block begins, your workouts will be updated according to your current Progression Levels.
No need to delete and create a new plan unless you’d like to. Adaptive Training should get you dialed in once the adaptations “trigger.”
Hope this info helps you out – feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions!
