When on the calendar page, you can set a target for Distance, Duration, and/or Training Load like in the image below. This target is different from the planned/completed workouts total Distance, Duration, and/or Training Load.
(Mine) You’re copying a plan from a book which gives you all the workouts and runs you’re doing, but has some of those runs as optional. So your target of, say, 75 miles, might not be the same as the total sum of all the activities
You’re a coach and want to assign your athletes workouts and a total target distance, but you don’t really care about how they get there on the easy runs.
Anyway, does this already exist on the Training Plan, or is this a Feature Request?
They’re not implemented to be used together. You will get unexpected results.
The weekly targets are for loose planning with just weekly goals and litle structure.
If you set out a plan and also add weekly targets, they will compound. And that’s not what you want…
It has been asked before to change this, but apparently the logic behind all this is already very complex and not easy to change. I think this will not happen until one of the devs has significant spare time, or the number of feature requests exploses.
Got it, makes sense! I mostly wanted to check that I wasn’t missing something obvious that already existed, and I can work around it as necessary.
EDIT: Although I say they don’t seem to compound – it seems to work pretty well in conjunction with me. 75 is the target I added to this week, which is distinct from the ~77 total miles the workouts would have had, and I went a little shorter on one of the runs, so the 76 is correct
But you’ve answered my question anyway, which is that it isn’t currently possible
DOUBLE EDIT: Oh, I see. It works for my specific use case because I’m careful about ensuring things are paired correctly, and I understand if I do something different today that doesn’t pair, the “amount done vs. target” will look too high. But that causes confusion because it’s not immediately obvious
