Strange behavior Training Plan

Hi, i created a training plan. Everything looks great. Then i apply this plan to athletes -everything is ok, the only problem is, that the calculation of time and load is wrong. If i open the workout click on edit, then on save (without editing something), it re-calculates and the new values are correct.

Hmm … I wasn’t able to reproduce that. I created a plan with a 10km run workout at Z2 pace with myself selected (1h). Then linked my wife to the plan and applied it. She has slower threshold pace set and it showed as 1h12 on her calendar.

I just added a new athlete to the plan and applied it to her.

As you can see, the calculation of time and load does not make sense.

Edit and save without any change in workout code fixes everything

I have never seen that before. Always worked correctly before. And in the plan calculation is correct too.

Anyway, thanks for having checked it out :wink: even if we do not find out what the problem is

It’s happened to me before too.
I had a double indent for the last interval after set of intervals.

I found out what the problem is:
The following syntax is calculated wrong, when copying a workout. Open - Edit - Save recalculates and the values are correct.

20x

  • 30s 113%
  • 1m30s 50%

If you replace 20x by copy pasting the two following lines 20 times, everything is perfect.

My workouts are done as follows, and work fine.

Tx for figuring that out. I will try fix this on the weekend.

Thank youvery much. That helps a lot. :hugs:

I think I am having the same problem. I don’t understand how @Eckart_Blau and @Gerald solved it.

This image shows the problem. The open workout says the load is 45, but the workout on the training plan calendar shows the workout as having a load of 67. If I save the open workout, the load will be correctly shown on the training plan as 45.

The 8-mile and 10-mile Z2 workouts shown for later weeks on the calendar have already been opened and saved. The problem is apparent when one looks at them: they both have loads less than 67, though they are longer and also Z2.

I don’t know how to update all of my training plan workouts without opening and saving them all individually.

Hi Marc, the calculation works fine if your workout code ist correct. I am creating my workouts in excel and had a blank too much which was creating the mistake. Hope that helps…

Thanks for replying. I guess I’m dense.

How can the blank lines be the problem? The load number changed between saves, but the blank lines were there initially and were still there when the load changed. I didn’t change the way the workout was entered, but the load changed.

I can understand that the load for a particular workout may change for an athlete as the athlete moves through the training program, because the athlete’s fitness and fatigue numbers will change (and not necessarily as predicted by the plan in the abstract.)

Yet, when making a plan, one sets fitness and fatigue numbers for the plan itself, not for a particular individual. At least I think that’s right and what I expect.
