My last ride was December 4th. I got a cold, my family got sick, and then the holiday craziness came up. After Xmas, I plan to get back in the bike. So do I continue my plan and label all missed workouts as sick, then use the adaptive thing to make the changes? Or do I just totally scrap my current plan and start new? If I do start a new plan, what do I do? I’m not racing. I just want to be in shape when mountain bike season comes in April. I have about 4 to 6 hours to ride per week. ---

I’m in a similar position. Had a planned week off around the 10th due to travel, then got sick and am still trying to get rid of this cold. Like you I don’t race but I’ve set a “placeholder” event early July. I decided I’m starting over. If I was “peaking” in April I would have possibly let AT adjust but without an actual event more base and build is better then spaciality phase…
