Use a MV Masters plan and simply ignore one of the scheduled Endurance workouts per week - no need to delete anything.
My guess is that at some point theyโll ditch the LV/MV/HV proxies and just let you choose the number of days, as a further evolutionary step away from the old static plan templates, where everyone was following the same plan, to dynamic personalised plans.
As they say, โthatโs not an issue, thatโs an opportunityโ. This being a cycling forum, I guess we all know that the perfect number of tablets to own is n+1, where n= the number of โฆ etc. etc.
Iโve run into an issue where plan builder wonโt allow me to change the prescribed 1 hour workout to 30 minutes even though the block is set to 30 minutes on Tuesdays for the 1st half of the build block.
It wanted me to do a 1 hour breakthrough workout which I subbed with a Productive workout.
I actually emailed support yesterday and we deleted the plan and created a new one. Same issueโฆthey were of the opinion the prescribed zones were the issue, but I was able to find other 4.7 rated VO2 max workouts that are 30 minutes, itโs just that plan builder set workout wonโt let me choose anything shorter than 1 hour (which I canโt do since Tuesdays are an in office day for me).
I ended up manually adding a 2.4 rated VO2 max workout for today since my current progression level was 2.0. It was productive and I felt a better fit given my current fitness and time of the year. Iโve left the other workout on the calendar so Iโm hoping that the plan will adapt correctly tomorrow when it finds I didnโt do the prescribed 4.7.
My plan is to just keep adding harder progressions manually over the next few weeks if I still canโt change it to 30 min during the first half of this block.
Just heard news that the lag on intensity adjustment for long workouts might be fixed. I would love to check, but Iโm at the beginning of a recovery period thatโs starting today. I will for sure check on my next 90+ minute workout. Does anybody else have a long workout scheduled where they can check?
I canโt get custom duration to work on masters general base 2. I see an option on iOS but canโt actually change. On the website I see no option to change duration and still have portrait view of days and can just switch. Is custom duration only in plan builder?
There is dirty workaround: use plan builder to create some random plan and then substitute first block with your intended block and custom duration. Currently doing this myself with TBHV 3.
This is partial solution, though: canโt substitute blocks between base, build and specialty phases. Or maybe can, if you backdate beginning of plan to some past date, so your phase block lands on intended date? Havenโt tried this myself.
I did the backdated plan builder suggestion. Have managed to build a plan that suits me way better. Threshold of an hour on Tuesday which if I want I switch to zrl and the long sat threshold becomes my sweet spot session. Zrl and threshold plus Ss and endurance in a week was too much
Iโm scheduling a Masters, LV Plan and, through trial and error have determined the best days of the week to workout. So far, so good. However, the plan defaults to Sweet Spot as my first workout of the week, with Threshold as my third workout. Iโd prefer to reverse that sequence. I realize I can drag and drop manually within the calendar, but is there any way within plan builder to make that sequence change?
I actually re-did my plan as non-masters plan. I liked the two workouts a week, but Iโm not sure the extra recovery weeks were needed for me n=1. Iโll go with the 2 midweek โhardโ and then do the weekend โhardโ if I donโt get out for a club or gravel spin.
Plan builder was giving me 2:1, rather than 3:1. Now I am aware that could be nuanced by the time available, but going non-masters itโs gone 3:1. n=1
Thatโs strange, Iโve built several masters plans on my calendar, both as testing them out and as a final plan which Iโm currently running. Iโve never encountered anything other than 3:1 for masters plans.
You have events on your calendar it might be trying to work around? If you are seeing 2:1, Iโd probably reach out to support for an answer, maybe thatโs a bug considering they clearly stated the masters plans would be 3:1 with the difference between them and non masters in the extra endurance day, as @mcneese.chad pointed outโฆ
