Should there always be a Specialty Phase before an A race?

I have 2 A races for the 2024 calendar, an XC marathon on May 12 and a 24-hour Race on July27. After creating a plan with plan builder, it has scheduled my specialty phase for my 24-hour race to start on June 10th which seems adequate. I have not been scheduled a specialty phase for my A race on May 12. Does this seem correct to everyone or is it possible there is a mistake in the training plan?

Hey @Shotton,

Welcome to the forum!! :partying_face:

There is typically a Specialty phase leading up to A races. Do you mind if I take a look at your plan and update things from my end?

This could be a weird edge-case scenario due to your event schedule and upcoming time off, but I’d like to dig a little deeper to see what’s going on.

Either way, I’m sure we’ll figure out a good solution here. :smile:

Yes, please do! I am also chatting with Keagan on the live chat about this issue as I wasn’t sure if I would get a response back on the forum.

It looks like Keagan was able to get things sorted out! Your plan looks solid now.

He is a good one to have on your team… :muscle:

Let me know your thoughts and if we can help out with anything else. :blush:
