Hi,
I need some guidance on adjusting my training plan. Due to illness, I had a two-week training gap, so I manually realigned my plan (Build 1, Build 2, Recovery,…) according to my annual schedule.
Now, I’m supposed to be in Build 3, but my plan has a recovery week scheduled instead. I don’t have any weeks suitable for swapping, so it seems like my only option is to regenerate a new plan.
My concern is whether regenerating the plan will disrupt my progress, as I’ve been following it precisely up until now. Would you recommend regenerating, or is there a better way to realign my training without losing the structure I’ve built?
Thanks!

I’d like to know the answer to this as well.
When I started on Athletica I played around with constraints quite a bit and I remember it always reset me back to the start of a plan with a few weeks of Base, even if I was on week 2 or 3 of Base. I’ve been following a plan now for about 5 weeks and am well into the Build weeks. I want to adjust my constraints but I don’t want to go back to the Base phase. Is this possible?

This is just my opinion. If it were me, I would keep my plan as is. In my experience with using Athletica, the ‘recovery weeks’ still have quite a bit of volume, so I would just add in a few of the key sessions that might be missing and add volume as you see fit…

Hey @holkatriatlonka
@cmaloney has a good idea. Generating the plan won’t disrupt anything but will change any custom changes you may have done. 
it would base recalculations based on when is your next a race, b race or c races. If you like what you got now, I would keep it and do what Cindy suggests.
