Clarification on week schedule

Hi
I just had a look to my next week workouts and i really don’t figure why it is in this way…note i am on duathlon program
Monday: strenght training ok
Tuesday: rest :thinking:
Wednesday: I have a costraint to run at least 80 minutes. I have 2 (two) runs for over 2 hours…first for VO2 second forcaerobic
Thursdays: another run of over 1 hour
Friday: wanderful 2 (two) strenght workouts of 42 minutes each on the same day
Saturday: run of the bike but witout any bike session…
Sunday: long bike as request from my constrain.
So it seems like somebody chose something in a basket and put here and there.
I am so perplessed about the scheduling of athletica in this moment.
Please could someone explain little bit better how this schedules are created?
Thank you

Hi @Prato … would you like me to remove you from the beta program with the constraints? Remember this is being worked on and users coming into the program are aware of this. No problem to exit if the outcome is frustrating you. Let me know. Best, Paul

Hi @prof. Do you think these issues are due to beta program? Do you think without constraints the schedule will have a logic? I mean a program shouldn’t put togheter just an amount of load but give also a right alternate between load and recovery. If you think that there is something to set in a week like my next one and you think this is due to beta program please let me know. If i don’t use day costraints and i will have in any case week like this, so between these two option i prefer remain in beta and work around in some way to adjust the schedule.

Hey @Prato
I don’t know how you set the time constraints, but as @Prof mentions the function is not perfect yet; and sometimes gives a “little” crazy plans.

For example,
Our strength workouts are 30 mins long and. (Non adaptable, meaning they don’t change). If you give instructions: “strength training on Friday for 60 mins” , instead of giving you one strength workout, it will give you two instead of modifying the length of the non-adaptable strength workout. If you have time for 60 mins, I would just repeat the workout 2-3 times.

Our backend guys are working on it and we will get it right in the future.
In the mean time let me know your “ideal” weekly schedule and I am happy to help you adjust.
