Did the plans change?

I am starting the build phase of my plan. I used plan builder back a couple months ago but now when I go to my Career page and select Plan Overview on my active plan it shows different workouts than my calendar shows.

Did they change it? Sustained power build on calendar goes like this:

Ramp Test
Carpathian Peak
Mount Goode

But when I go to Training Plans and select Build and then Sustained Power Build it shows:

Ramp Test
Sill
Hot Springs.

THis is also what shows up under my plan overview

I was just about to ask that @Nate_Pearson, XCO Specialty changed for sure! Not sure if this intentional or not. How do switch to the new plans using Plan Builder?

I see changes in traditional base for sure. MV1 now has an outdoor ride Amadeo for week 2 that won’t actually open up

So am I supposed to change my plan somehow? Am I supposed to update it somehow?

They change plans in minor ways all the time.

XCO Specialty HV has a big change, more of a much needed overhaul. New workouts and dropped an intensity day.

This doesn’t appear to be minor IMHO. All the workouts are different than what they were previously. If they change why dont they change in your scheduled plan?

Once you add workouts to you calendar, you are effectively copying those workouts from the plan to your calendar. Those are an instance of the workout that won’t change unless you change it.

If you’re using Plan Builder, making a change to a block (increasing or decreasing the volume, moving the scheduled days around, etc.) will make the block the entire plan (wheee) use whatever the new plan schedule is.

I think they are going to be dropping some new stuff soon especially the work out levels and they were working on the new training plans. Can’t wait to see what they bring out!

Couldn’t have come at a better time because the first 2 weeks of my Specialty has been a hot mess!

I gotta say some of these new workouts look good and others look like someone just sneezed intervals. I’m happy things are improving but some of this stuff seems like “look we have new stuff” filler material, coyote caught my eye as one

Just had a look at ye ol’ faithful SSBMV2 - completely different! The Lamarck, Lectone, Wright Peak final week smash fest has gone certainly…

EDIT: Looks like the load/ intensity is down on the Sunday ride each week somewhat

Completely different. I’m just approaching the rest week in Sustained Power Build. The remaining half of the plan in its new guise looks slightly less daunting but you never know…

Here’s what it looks like with progression levels, it’s likely they’re going with their new format to provide reasonable increases in progression week over week

editing to add: I’ve been doing SSB HV using adaptive training and SSB1 HV ended up being ‘easier’ than SSB1 HV that already exists due to the progression levels, but SSB2 HV with adaptive training (for me) is actually more challenging as the workouts are going to be higher progression level compared to SSB2. But I’m intrigued by the approach as a sustainable way to make workouts harder over time.

Something tells me these changes are connected to all the AI/ML, Progression Levels and other info they have directly mentioned and hinted at. It may even be related to the stuff Jonathan teased in this weeks podcast 307.

Pump your brakes guys. Something is telling me it’s another screwup on TRs end like the previous plan change

Seems wierd to me. It looks like SSB1 is now more intense than SSB2
