I am attempting to create a plan for a sprint triathlon. Choosing low volume resulted in training weeks of 9+ hours every week. This is despite the recomendation on the training settings page saying 0-7 hours.  
To attempt to solve this, in the advanced section I put in the maximum number of hours as 7 and the minimum as 5.  
It still gave me 9 and 10 hour weeks from the beginning.  
Is this a bug, or is doing 10 hour weeks required for your sprint triathlon plans?

Hey @Jane  
welcome to Athletica!  
No, 10 hours is not required for sprint triathlon plans 😃  
If you send me a private message with your Athletica email address, I can have a look at your settings.

Thank you for the speedy reply @Marjaana. I can’t find the option to private message you in your profile however. Are you able to message me and then I can reply?
