More Flexible Training Plans [March 2021]

[Mike_Rowe1 (Mike)]

Thank you @shooj, these improvements are very welcomed.

I have seen some users now wanting a more clear order in which to complete the workouts each week. The weekly list can sometimes be in the opposite order if you are looking in the companion app vs. the game and this is causing confusion too.

Shayne recently posted this in response to the correct order of the Build Me Up plan:

@Shayne-Gaffney

it’s entirely athlete-dependent and based upon how much time they have available to train on a given day, how fresh they feel, etc., so it’s impossible to say. Before the training plans were opened up with greater flexibility levels, the shorter workouts would be available during the week and longer available during the weekends. This assumed the athletes had more training time available on Sat/Sun, which wasn’t always the case.

So, the order can be based on your preference, but some users just want to sign in and do the next one on the list without having to think about it. Not sure how that can be improved, but perhaps getting them in the same order on the training plan menu, companion app, and the list that shows up right when you log in would be a start?

Edit: one thing that would help is listing the TSS in the companion app and on the list of available workouts that pops up when you log in. I believe the only place the TSS is listed is in the training plan menu.
