Polarized Base and Build plans can be added directly to your Calendar through the Training Phases tabs of TrainerRoad. These plans designed to establish your aerobic base fitness with an emphasis on shifting training intensity to the ends of the spectrum.
Adding a Polarized Training Phase directly to your Calendar
If you are interested in completing any Polarized training phases you will need to add them directly to your TrainerRoad Calendar from the Training Phases sections of the Training plans tab. Note: Polarized phases will not automatically be integrated in custom plans build with Plan Builder. Polarized plans can only be added to your TrainerRoad Calendar manually as individual training.
You can add these phases on Mobile, Desktop, and Web. To add a Polarized plan to your Calendar follow these steps:
Step One: Open up the TrainerRoad app or Log in to the TrainerRoad website.
Step Two: Click on Training Plans from the left-hand-side menu and select View Phases under Training Phases
Step Three: Under Individual Training Phases, select either Base Phase or Build Phase.
Step Four: Under Polarized Base/Build, select your desired volume (Low/Mid/High) and click Schedule Plan.
Step Four: Choose your desired schedule by dragging and dropping scheduled workouts onto your desired days. In this step you can also make adjustments to the weekly duration of workouts and decide if you want your endurance workouts to be Dynamic or Fixed.
FAQs
Are Polarized Training Phases still affected by TrainerRoad AI?
Yes! Your Polarized Training Phase will be adapted with Polarized-specific workouts as you progress through the plan.
Why are there only Polarized Training Phases for Base and Build phases?
At the moment, we only have Polarized Training Phases for Base and Build phases. You won't find any Polarized Specialty Phases because we want to ensure that your Specialty Phase mimics your desired discipline as closely as possible, which might not be feasible with Polarized training.
Will my training progress be lost if I change my Training Plan to include a Polarized Phase?
Nope! All of your progress, including completed workouts, will be kept by TrainerRoad AI.
Can I complete Polarized workouts outside?
Yes! You can automatically designate certain days to be Outside Workouts when adding your Polarized Phase(s) to your Calendar.
