Race Day is not taken into account in the training plan

I think this is a bug or at least maybe a blind spot. I’ve completed my first race and I don’t get a session feedback, because the run is not recognized as a session:

The race is in my calendar and my run was assigned to it, but when I open it I only get the Daily Update and no session feedback - probably because there is no planned session on race day.

What I would have whished for is a planned session with realistic race predictions based on my training (at least something like I’d probably be able to run in upper Zone 3b for my planned half marathon which would lead to a goal time of around 1:45). And of course I would like the session feedback to be more detailed than for training sessions, i.e. not just looking at compliance with the zones.

But starting into the next training block, a second problem arises, because my previous race doesn’t seem to be taken into account as a load at all. This starts with not having a race recovery week but a built block for the next 10k race. Even worse: I get a warning for supposedly doing an unplanned hard training session two days ago (which was the race)!


(see second paragraph of session feedback)

This all seems to be a fundamental problem. Above all because it offers me as an athlete no support whatsoever for the one day, for the highlight of the whole planning, and it is not even reasonably considered as a competition afterwards.

To be honest, I find that very disappointing.

Sorry to hear this @Harlerunner .
Absolutely with you, and I understand your disappointment.
I know we had some glitches this weekend, unfortunately your race fell on the same day.

I’ll tag @Prof here to have a look at your calendar to see if there’s a bug. Your race should absolutely be counted as a load, and AI feedback should recognize it was a race.

Let’s fix this! Thanks for reporting!

More of a ‘we just haven’t got there yet’ thanks @Harlerunner and an important aspect we’re currently working on with AI coach. Both race week preparation and race day analysis. This important feature is in the pipeline.
