Is there a reason why TR starts the week with Monday instead of Sunday? It’s a US company with mostly US users

[image] ddetch: with mostly US users Do we know this for a fact? I’m curious, there certainly seem to be a large representation from the rest of the world in the forum. Anyway, I think it makes sense to keep Saturday and Sunday together as a final part of the training week.

And forget about first week of day, what about 12h vs 24h clock? Every time I see AM/PM, it takes me half a sec to understand it. And TR workout starting time keeps rubbing my nose in it :slight_smile:
