Question on Planning a Day Off

General
1

With Father’s Day coming up I’d like to tell the AI Coach to plan a day off and recalculate my plan around it. Is there a recommended way to do this?

I feel like I should be able to just delete the session but the behavior I’ve observed in the past when I do that is either no reaction from the AI Coach (my plan is not noticeably changed in the days leading into or after the deleted workout) or an overreaction from the AI Coach where a new workout simply replaces the deleted workout on the planned day off.

The workout currently planned on that day is a long run with significant Load and seems at least relatively important in the Build 2 block it is in so I’m trying to make sure I handle it within Athletica the best way possible.

I generally suggest to my athletes to prioritize the most important workouts of the week. They can move around the workouts to suit their schedule and leave the rest. The AI coach might say something, but it’s still your schedule. I hope that helps!

Thanks for this! I moved things around, keeping this run in. We’ll see if the AI coach puts anything back on the calendar for Sunday.

It would have been nice to be able to tell the AI coach that I wanted a day off planned for Sunday and have it move things around. Perhaps a future enhancement.
