I was looking for a thread that discussed returning to TR training after illness (or other) but everything I found was quite outdated as it didn’t consider Adaptive Training, AI FTP detection, etc. Because I think that this is something many around here have to deal with occasionally (and this year…

I realize you didn’t have COVID, but the return to exercise still applies. Check out this thread… [image] Starting over after Covid Training Ok so that’s me down with Covid despite 2 jabs and a booster. 10 days of zero training face_with_thermometerface_with_thermometer. …

I had a similar situation this winter as well. Got the flu and had a bad cough and a fever. I was wondering the same question myself directly after being ill. After I started to feel a bit better I did some endurance rides. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get back into intensity for a few weeks.…

Thanks for sharing. It’s true that I have totally forgotten about calendar annotations as a tool. Is there any info out there on how the AI uses information provided in annotations? That said, I still think it’s too hidden a feature and the TR team could develop a better UI so users provide this ty…

[image] ThomasE: Q2: Is it good practice to re-start training with very high intensity work or would it be advisable to smooth the athlete into riding again? This is an issue with TR in my opinion. The first time I took time off due to an injury for a week and returned following TR adapted wo…

My suggestion is to not approach this as rocket science. Just ramp or guestimate a reduced ftp en make a new plan

[image] BarrettP: I was hoping that TR and the AI would take into account the calendar annotation that I was sick and lower the intensity of my plan for a few days after but that was not the case. I had to make all the adjustments on my own. The hard part was that I had just used AI FTP detectio…

I was out for about 5 weeks after surgery and a chest cold and AI detection backed me off 15W from an FTP of 208, I’m 57yo and 75kg. The first workouts were VO2max affairs that were too brutal, so I selected alternate workouts. 2 weeks later, I’m still struggling to finish workout without adjusting…

Thanks for sharing! Just one follow-up question: did you have an annotation “injury” in your calendar before you had AT adapt your plan or not? My current hypothesis is that the algorithm does take annotations into account but is not super sophisticated about it. In the case of injuries - and espec…

Just gone through this…l 4 weeks off due to Illness… was training well for an event in 7 weeks… thinking a week of endurance and slow ramp up in intensity to getting solid sessions in for the 4 weeks prior to taper…l hopefully enough time but so disappointing !

[image] ThomasE: Here’s my specific situation: I had a nasty cough that stopped me from training for seven(!) weeks. Sorry, can’t comment in your questions but did you figure out what you had? I don’t live in Germany (any more), but right around eastern I fell sick with varying intensity for …
