Why do I get so many rest days suggested?

1

Hi All

Fairly new user to TR, however an experienced triathlete and I am confident I have a good understanding of where my body is at during any training cycle.

Question is, I am using a triathlon program provided by TR, however it seems to suggest I rest far more often than I would otherwise and more than I feel is necessary. After completing a bike session today which I rated as moderate (as expected), the software is now telling me to rest instead of run tomorrow? I certainly don’t feel like a I need a rest day and I only just had one on the day prior to the bike session.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

I’ve actually just read a similar post.

I’ll follow the advice on that one and carry on as I feel and see if the software catches up, given it hasn’t got a long history to go off.

That feature is there to protect you from fatigue, but if it’s getting in your way, you can turn it off in your account settings. :backhand_index_pointing_down:

You can turn off how we automatically adjust your workouts on its own, or Fatigue Detection as a whole.

This isn’t the recommended route, but it’s an option if you need it.

Let me know your thoughts.

Oh, and welcome to the forum! :partying_face:

Welcome to the TRI community on TR :slight_smile:

If you have recently not been regularly training then fatigue management will flag up a lot - use this to remind yourself to break yourself back in slowly.

After a month or two of consistent training, the reds will disappear and yellows start to reduce.
