Hey everyone,

On tuesdays is may Vo2 max workout day and it’s the 3rd week in a row, where I get Gendarme+3.

Is it normal or a buggy training plan?

Hey @Fishnhchamps :slight_smile:

I took a look at your account, and all is well.

TrainerRoad now looks beyond just Workout Levels, factoring in your fitness, recent training, and overall trends to pick the right workout for you that day.

When a workout looks different from what you might expect based on past recommendations, it’s reflecting a broader view of your current fitness and capabilities. This supports consistent, high-quality training, and that’s exactly what helps you get faster.

That said, even though it looks like it’s just repeating Gendarme+3, this was the correct workout every time based on how you were successfully completing your VO2 Max workouts.

Here is the breakdown from your Adapt history:

  • Tuesday August 5th.

    • You originally had scheduled Spencer -5 (VO2 Max 5.3) but the system adjusted the workout to Gendarme+3 (VO2 Max 4.9). You completed Gendarme+3 and rated it “Maximum Effort”.

  • Tuesday August 12th

    • You rebuilt the plan on this day, and the system recommended Gendarme+3, and rechecked it to verify it was the correct workout, and it kept it. You completed it and rated it “Very Hard”.

  • Tuesday August 19th

    • You originally had Merced -1 (VO2 Max 5.7), the plan adjusted to Spencer -1 (VO2 Max 5.3), then the system adjusted again to Gendarme+3 (VO2 Max 4.9), and then it adjusted again to Volunteer -1 (Endurance 1.0) due to a Yellow Day.
