I’m tagging on with this thread, I created a plan using plan builder: HV leading into an event. Plan started in November.
I won’t be training from the 8th-18th January. Plan builder in the next 37 days has only scheduled 7 days of hard workouts, the rest are recovery days.
It certainly seems plan builder just puts the time off into the calendar without any real thought about the training plan.
Below is what it has created:
26/12: recovery week
02 Jan: 1 week of Build
08-18th planned time off
19/01; 4workouts (3 effort, 1 recovery)
23 Jan: recovery week
It definitely feels like I would have been better off manually adjusting the plan vs plan builder giving 2 recovery weeks with not much to recover from.
