Traditionally I have used the standard plans in the winter season and found them very effective. This year I have been using Trainnow sometimes for my mid-week workouts with outdoor riding at the weekend. But I find that as soon as I do a long ride then it tells me that the next few days are rest days and so won’t recommend anything at all, not even a recovery ride. Should be able to override that and ask for something,
Try going to Account > Adaptive Training > Training Approach. Then use the slider to the right toward Aggressive.

thank you, it was set to balanced I have done that and will see what it does. A couple of weeks back it gave me four rest days and I was far from overtraining, so let’s see what comes now. Thanks again.
Thanks Caro, that makes sense.
TR doesn’t know my non-training plans so sometimes I am deliberately borrowing from the credit card - for example 24th March I wanted to do a session because I was travelling for the next 4 days and wouldn’t have a change to pedal. So I searched for a ride manually and did it, but I love the “train now” option that takes away my need to think. I like the idea of thinking of the colours as a “how in debt you are” but want to be able to easily override it. (TR also doesn’t know the non-peddling things like skiing so I have to remember that sometimes that leg credit card is maxed out
