Statement - I often find that Train Now offers a different type of ride than that which is planned, and yields a more positive predicted AiFTP
Example - Last weekend I rode the Double Dunwich Dynamo which had a TSS of 603. Predictably it has had a large negative impact on my training this week, even with taking multiple days off I have been unable to complete any rides. To make this worse, just before the ride I had an AiFTP increase of around 14watts.
Today I had scheduled on my plan a 120 minute sweetspot ride, the day was not flagged as yellow or red. The recomendation was 90 minutes not 120 which I accepted, this yielded an AiFTP prediction of 291 (Currently I am at 295). I was concerned that this would still be too intense for me given the performance impact accross the week.
I deleted this ride and using TrainNow it recomended a Zone 2 ride which I accepted this yielded an AiFTP prediction of 295. This also subjectively feels more appropiate.
Request - To be able to view what TrainNow would suggest without having to delete the current days ride, along with suggesting a duration and the impact accepting this will have on the AiFTP. The suggested rides should fit within our specified aims for training when defining the training plan
This situation from my experience is repeatable, to the extent I am tempted rather than generate a Plan to just use TrainNow. My concern with this is that I am unsure if this would follow the structure of Base, Build and Speciality ( I cannot see that it can as we have not using this method specified an aim for the training), and may well not schedule a deload week in such a structured way as plans do
