Hi,
Just recently re-subscribed and think i have good base , have been doing 6-700 TSS for months mainly endurance, FTP around 280.
I built plan for Fondo event on 11th April and has base phase of 6 weeks , that I want to skip . Or is this considered bad idea now ?
cheers,
Andy.
There used to be workaround with backdating AI generated plan (i.e. today minus 3 months of base period). Not sure if it still works but its something you can try.
thanks Svens for the reply - i see its been marked “Trainer Road Approved” .
Tried it but it seems to have given what looks like quite a tame , mainly Z2 Build phase as per attached. My A event is 11th April , with a B and a C event in March .
I have done decent amount of work in last 3 months , Mainly Endurance 6-700 TSS a month , but with random Zwift stuff and some Threshold / Vo2 workouts (2-3 a week)
I would have expected to see more Threshold in Build Phase
Maybe i should trust it / get on with it !
Are you on a masters plan? If so, it seems correct as you have two hard days per week with your Tuesday VO2 and Saturday Zwift race.
Yes, what @Torneng said. If you want more intense plan, you can switch to 3 hard says and/or tweak your training balance toward aggressive approach (as a whole or per zone).
thanks and @Toreng . It had defaulted to masters plan / 2 hard , i think cos i am an oldish git !
Changed to 3 days and got attached which looks better i think - the proof is in the puking !
cheers
Andy.
Can you explain how to backdated the start of a plan as I have the same problem.
When creating new plan with Plan Builder, use some past date for start.
For example, use today minus 3 months to skip whole base period. Adjust for how much you actually want to skip.
