I’m in the first of a 4 week training block which includes 1 week of recovery. I’m going to be on vacation, rest week, on the third week. I added it to the plan and allowed it to adjust training. To my surprised it just skip the third week and left in the week of recovery giving me two weeks of recovery. I know I can just add workouts, but would have thought the software would have been smart enough to of skipped the rest week on it’s own. Is there a reason it does not do this?
Hey!
This is a situation where your vacation lines up with where we think you’ll need recovery relative to the rest of your Training Plan and upcoming Events. Many vacations are not restful so we don’t want to assume that your time off of the bike will be restorative. It’s important that you feel ready to take on the Specialty block you are heading into.
If you plan on being in recovery mode during your vacation and you think you’ll be ready to dive back into intensity immediately after, you can use TrainNow during that week to add harder Workouts that are suited to your current fitness level.
Let us know if you have any other questions :). Otherwise, have a great vacation!
