Edit training plans without having to edit all plan preferences

[mateotito]

Hi, I’m new here. I’ve tried other AI programs, and so far I’m loving this one. I have a question, though. I’m at the stage where you try things out and create a training plan, then if you want to change something, you have to create another one. You end up spending more time creating plans than actually training. In fact, I haven’t even trained with Athletica yet, and I’m starting my first session tomorrow. But I haven’t found, or maybe it doesn’t exist, a way to go into my current training plan and change just one parameter without having to go through all the steps involved in creating a new plan. For example, if I decide to change my swimming days, I’d like to be able to change only that, but I can’t find it, or maybe it’s not there. Thanks a lot.

I think @SimpleEnduranceCoach already replied to your other post, but I’m trying to figure out exactly how this would look like.

Are you thinking a mode where you could tell AI Coach: this is a weekly recurring session on Mondays and Wednesday (like a swim team schedule?) ? How would this look like to you?
Do you have any examples from other platforms?

Hi, first of all, thank you for your involvement. Yes, I have examples from another platform; I’ve attached the screenshots. In the first screenshot, I’ve pointed out where you can access the default training plan for the competition you have as goal A. In the second screenshot, I’ve attached the panel you access. As you can see, this panel shows your training exactly as planned with your preferences, and you can move any activity to another day without having to replan everything, simply by editing the specific parameter you want to change. Furthermore, within each small box, you can edit other parameters of a specific training session. At the top, you can change the weekly hours you want to dedicate to training. You can even add other goals B or C without modifying anything else. What I mean is that you can do any of these things individually. You have your plan exactly as you configured it, and you can add specific variations to it.

Having said that, I want to say that I’ve been using several platforms in recent months and I must congratulate you because, quite sincerely, you are by far the platform I’ve liked the most. This comment is simply intended as a contribution of something I’ve seen on another platform, and which I think is a good idea that can streamline changes that the user wants to make at specific times during the season without having to replan everything.
