Plan Builder FAQs

If you don't see the answer to your Plan Builder question down below, please reach out to [email protected] for more information on Plan Builder. General What is Plan Builder - Plan Builder creates a custom training plan that brings you to peak fitness for your goal event or discipline. Plan Builder takes into consideration your goals, how much you want to train and when, all of the events on your training calendar, and the demands of your goal event to give you a truly customized training experience. Why Plan Builder? - Plan Builder accounts for all of the unique variations in your training schedule, event schedule and lifestyle that might affect the progression of your training plan. By adjusting your training plan in accordance with your needs your plan will be easier to follow and ultimately more effective. Where Do I Start? - If you don’t have a training plan, you can jump straight into Plan Builder. 1. To start constructing your custom training plan, first, go to your online career. 2. Select the Training Plans tab in the navigation menu on the left-hand side of the screen. 3. Select Build Create My Custom Plan to launch Plan Builder. Screen Shot 2025-01-16 at 11.30.13 AM.png Is Plan Builder available in the TrainerRoad app? - Athletes can build their custom Plan Builder plans via the desktop apps or the TrainerRoad Website. With that said, we recommend building your training plan on the website as the website's version of Plan Builder has added functionality. - To use Plan Builder from within the desktop app, make sure you're on the latest app version, then go to the Training Plans section of the app. How Plan Builder Works How did you come up with the recommended training volume? - The recommended training volume is based on your training approach and the amount of training you have completed in the past few weeks of training. I want to start my training plan in the past. Can I do that? - Yes! If you have already started training you can backdate the plan by selecting the date you started training this season. Why didn’t Plan Builder suggest the Base, Build and Specialty phases in order? - It is very rare that your available training time will perfectly align with the length of a Base, Build, and Specialty Phase training progression, so adjustments need to be made. When these adjustments are needed, Plan Builder uses the latest sports science research and millions of training data points to create the ideal training progression to bring you to peak fitness. Why is Plan Builder suggesting I go back to the Base Phase in the middle of my plan? - In many cases, athletes with less experience doing structured interval training benefit most by spending more time in the Base Phase. Additionally, a mid-season return to base training can allow the body to recover from more strenuous forms of training, and reach new heights by entering a base phase with a higher FTP. Why is Plan Builder suggesting I go to a Specialty Phase in the middle of my plan? - Plan Builder strategically uses different training phases to increase fitness and freshness in order to make you as fast as possible for your goal event. In many cases, the Specialty Phase can be a great opportunity for the body to increase freshness without losing fitness. This is particularly true for athletes with a lot of experience doing interval training and serves as a great mid-season reset point for any rider, especially during long training progression Why is Plan Builder suggesting I do more than one Build Phase? - Athletes that have a moderate level of experience with interval training can benefit from more time spent in the Build Phase to fully reach their potential. Doing too many weeks in a row of Build training can be extremely fatiguing, so Plan Builder will split up excessively long Build Phases with a Base or Specialty Phase. Events What if I don’t have any goal events? - No events, no problem! If you aren't training for an event you can build a goal Based training plan. What if I have multiple priority events? - You can add as many C events and B events as you’d like, but A events (priority events) must be spaced eight weeks apart. Anything less than 8 weeks between goal events won’t allow you enough time to recover and rebuild sufficiently to reach peak fitness once again. - If you have two priority events within 8 weeks of each other, evaluate which event is not as important and make one event an A event and the other event a B event. You will still have rest allocated before the B event but you will only have a taper and a peak for the A event. What if my priority event is a multi-day event? - If you are training for a multi-day event, mark your event as a ‘Stage Race’ when you categorize the discipline of your event My stage race includes multiple disciplines. Which should I choose for "targeted discipline" - Mark the event you’d like to prioritize as the targeted discipline. You’ll taper for the entire stage race, but your Specialty training will be geared towards your targeted discipline. What if I already have events on my Calendar? - If you already have events on your TrainerRoad calendar Plan Builder will accommodate these events. If you’d like to start fresh you can delete the current events on your Calendar and add them when you use Plan Builder. For more information on how to delete events check out this help center article: Editing Your Calendar What if I need to add events later on? - New events can be added at any time. If you would like to add additional events to your TrainerRoad Calendar go ahead and check out this help center article: Add A/B/C Priority Events What if my goal event is more than a year away? - Plan Builder will create a training plan for any event within two years of the day you’ll start training. What do you mean by A, B and C Events? - Categorizing your events as A, B and C events is an easy way to prioritize the importance of your events. For more information on prioritizing events go ahead and check out this help center article: Prioritizing Races (A, B & C Races) Do I need an A Event for Plan Builder? - If you plan on racing, at least one of your events should be an A-priority event. If you aren’t sure which event you would like to make your A event check out this help center article on prioritizing events: Prioritizing Races (A, B & C Races) What if I want to train for a whole series of events instead of just one event? - If you are training for an entire series, we still recommend you make one event within that series an A race, and marking the rest as B races. This will allow Plan Builder to bring you to peak fitness. Plan Builder will build in tapers, rest and openers around the existing events, so your training will be kept on track. I don’t know what sort of event my race is. What should I pick? - If you don’t know what sort of event your race is, select the discipline that is closest to the type of event you plan on racing. I am training for a time trial distance other than 40k. Does Plan Builder work for that? - Yes. When creating the event, enter the event duration and intensity and Plan Builder will take care of the rest. Adjusting Your Custom Plan What if I need to take time off? - When you need to take time off you can edit your Calendar to adjust for time spent off the bike. For detailed instructions on how to edit your training plan check out this help center article: Editing Your Calendar What if I have already started training? - You can use Plan Builder even if you are in the middle of a training plan right now. First, you will want to delete your current training plan from your Calendar. For detailed instructions on how to delete a custom training plan check out this help center article: Delete/Unschedule a TrainerRoad Plan - When you add your custom plan to your TrainerRoad Calendar go ahead and choose the day you started training for your current season. When your custom plan is added to your Calendar, it will include the workouts you have already completed this season. How do I start over, clear my calendar, and create a new Plan Builder plan? - If you already have a training plan added to your TrainerRoad Calendar you will want to delete (or unschedule) this training plan before you build your new custom plan. Note that this will only delete planned workouts - any workouts you have completed will be saved. For detailed instructions on how to delete a custom training plan check out this help center article: Delete/Unschedule a TrainerRoad Plan What happens to my current training rides if I delete/unschedule my current training plan? - When you delete your current training plan to add a custom plan all of your completed workouts will remain on your Calendar. What happens to my A/B/C priority events if I delete my new plan? - If you delete a plan created through Plan Builder, any events that you added to your calendar via that plan will remain on your calendar. If you create a new plan, you can add these events to your plan by clicking the "Include" button in the Existing Events section of Plan Builder. Should I take the Ramp Test before I start Plan Builder? - The Ramp Test will automatically be the first workout in any training phase or plan. If you are just starting a TrainerRoad plan, we definitely recommend starting off with this workout. If you have recently completed a Ramp Test in another training plan you can skip this Ramp Test at your own discretion. I don’t have much time until my goal event. Can Plan Builder create a training plan on a short timeline? - Absolutely! Plan Builder will build a training plan for your goal event, as long as you have at least one week until the event. I want to train on different days than Plan Builder suggests. Can I change that? - Definitely. You can customize the schedule of your training week during the "Schedule" section of creating the plan. Simply drag and drop your training days. Can I decide which days I want to train outside? - Yes! When you create the schedule for your training plan you can mark specific days in your training week as outside rides. You can do this one by one, or adjust this per training block when building your custom plan. After your plan is made, you can change any workout to be an outside or inside workout on the fly. Can I change my training volume halfway through my plan? - You can change the number of days in your training plan at any point after Plan Builder has made your custom training plan. To change the training volume of your plan after it has been built, follow these steps: 1. Go to your online career. 2. Select the Calendar tab in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen. 3. Navigate to your current training block, or the block you are about to start. 4. Select the Block on your Calendar: 5. In the menu that appears on the right select 'Edit Weekly Schedule' 6. Adjust your training schedule in the subsequent steps. Can I make changes to my training plan once I’ve added it to my calendar? - Absolutely, your training plan can always be edited. You can add additional events, swap workouts, edit training weeks and even delete workouts.

FTP Testing - The Cornerstone of Training

Few components of power-based training are as important as measuring and tracking FTP. In fact, it could be argued that nothing short of actual performance ranks as highly in terms of overall importance. With this in mind, we offer the following primer on what your FTP represents, what an FTP test is, how and why we assess FTP, and when we assess it. What is FTP? Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is — quite simply — a measure of fitness. FTP represents the power (measured in watts) that you could theoretically maintain for about an hour, and it's the single metric we use to scale each of your workouts in our shared quest to keep your fitness growing. With regards to what's taking place within your body and the muscles themselves, riding at your FTP pushes you right up to that limit where pushing any harder will drastically limit the duration of your ride. But as long as you stay just below that acidic tipping point where your muscles light up and uncomfortably tolerable minutes become barely tolerable seconds, your muscles are in balance with the workload - for about an hour, anyway. What is the FTP Assessment? An FTP assessment is a snapshot of your fitness at any point in time. By measuring your fitness and assigning it a number, we can track changes in your fitness over weeks, months, and years. The assessment we use to measure this level of fitness is our Ramp Test. How is FTP Calculated from the Ramp Test? TrainerRoad will automatically calculate your FTP upon completion of your Ramp Test workout. If ridden correctly, you can expect your FTP to be about 75% of your highest 1-minute power sustained during the test. Note: More complicated calculations may be applied when determining FTP from a Ramp Test depending on how accurately a rider followed the format of the test. This means, 75% of a rider's 1-minute power may not translate to their actual FTP calculation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWHgMzpvH7c How is Functional Threshold Power Assessed? During a Ramp Test assessment, riders first follow a sufficient, stepwise warming period before progressing to their higher-intensity steps. The power that you average over the last, highest minute of your test allows us to mathematically estimate your current FTP. The goal here is to obtain a reasonably close estimate of one's sustainable power, or in power-based training nomenclature, your Functional Threshold Power/FTP. Why Do We Assess FTP? By assessing FTP, not only can we track changes in fitness, but we can also establish training zones, i.e. power levels. And as your fitness changes, we can update these power levels accordingly. Each type of interval, e.g. Tempo, Sweet Spot, VO2max, etc. represents a percentage of your FTP. For example, Tempo intervals fall in the 76-90% FTP range while VO2max intervals fall in the 106-120% FTP range. Different types of intervals target different energy systems and consequently different training adaptations, so it's important to have a personal measure of your fitness that will allow us to tailor your workouts to your specific needs and capabilities. When Should I Assess My FTP? It's a good idea to assess your FTP prior to beginning each training season unless you already have a good sense of your current fitness and your sustainable power. But even if you think you have a good grasp on your current fitness, it's still a good idea to back up your perception with actual performance. It's also recommended that you assess or reassess FTP before embarking on a new training plan. Finally, you should reassess your FTP about every 4-6 weeks in order to account for changes in your fitness and to keep your power levels in line with your performance potential. What if I'm Feeling Stronger Before My Scheduled FTP Test? Of course, testing roughly every 4-6 weeks is just a general guideline. Your FTP very well may have increased prior to 4-6 weeks after your last test. If you find yourself breathing easily through workouts with high-Intensity Factors (IFs)® or that you're often manually increasing the workout intensity before it's time for your next test, don't hesitate to manually edit your FTP. No need to wait for an FTP test if you know you're stronger. :)

Power-Based Training Acronyms

There are far too many acronyms in the sport of cycling, so here is your cheat sheet for all the important ones FTP: Functional Threshold Power - This is theoretically the maximum steady-state power you could hold for about an hour - It is a way to quantify your current level of fitness- many of your other zones will scale fairly linearly relative to your FTP - All of your rides are based on a percentage of your FTP IF: Intensity Factor® - This is a way of quantifying how intense your ride was - The scale is based on this: An IF of 1.0 would be equivalent to performing at FTP for 1 hour. Aka, your body could not possibly work any harder. - A 0.8 IF would represent a ride that averaged 80% of your Functional Threshold Power TSS: Training Stress Score® - This is the amount of stress that a workout inflicts on your body - With a large TSS, there is a greater opportunity for growth but also a greater need for proper recovery - Calculated based on a combination of IF and duration NP: Normalized Power® - This metric is similar to average power, with one minor difference - This metric "weights" different power zones differently. It gives more weight to your harder intervals and more closely represents the physiological toll - The purpose of this is to attempt to estimate the power you could have produced had you been constant throughout the ride - This allows you to more honestly compare one ride to another since the rest intervals have less of an effect on the overall average

Common Training Acronyms Defined

TSS, NP, IF, and FTP are terms created by Dr. Andy Coggan and are specific to cycling. Functional Threshold Power - FTP Functional Threshold Power, or FTP, is the maximum average power you can hold for one hour. So if you can hold 300 watts for one hour, that means your FTP is 300. FTP is the best single marker for fitness in cycling. The higher your FTP is, the stronger you are. In TrainerRoad, we use your FTP to scale workouts. Our workouts are structured as a percent of FTP. This means that when your FTP increases, the workouts get harder to maintain the same difficulty. Doing an all-out one-hour effort is really, really hard. It's hard to get an accurate test without it being in a race (much less indoors on a trainer). Because of this, we use the Ramp Test for FTP testing. The Ramp Test is both accurate and easy to complete for both new and experienced cyclists alike. If you would like to read up more on the Ramp Test and why we prefer it, click here. The other two most common tests to help estimate FTP are the 20 Minute Test and the 8 Minute Test. These are considered standard for FTP testing in the cycling world. We take averages of the all-out work intervals in each test and multiply them by a factor, usually .95 or .90. This gives us a good estimate of FTP. Normalized Power - NP® Normalized Power gives you an average power number if you would have ridden at a constant power output. For example, in a crit, you would have lots of power spikes and lots of coasting. This would result in a low average power. Normalized power was developed to try to figure out how much stress was actually put on your body. By using some math and weighting the really hard stuff more than the easy stuff we can figure out what your power output would have been if you would have ridden steadily the entire time. For TrainerRoad, this number is really helpful because most of our workouts have intervals with rest periods in between. Normalized Power gives you a way to compare efforts between workouts. For example, if one workout has a NP of 223 and another workout has an NP of 243 you put out more power for the second workout. Intensity Factor - IF® This is how intense a ride is. A ride with an Intensity Factor of 1.0 would equal an all-out effort for an hour. If you did an hour at .8 IF that means it was about an 80% effort. TrainerRoad has the Intensity Factor of each workout specified. This helps you gauge the difficulty of each workout. Training Stress Score - TSS® TSS is the amount of training stress generated from a workout. The higher this number, the more potential fitness you may have earned from a given ride. To gain the most fitness, you want to earn the most TSS possible. All of the workouts on TrainerRoad have a TSS score on them. This means that if you were to ride the workout exactly like it is prescribed you would earn that amount of TSS. How do TSS and IF relate to each other? Some rides can be intense, some can add a lot of fitness, some do both. A workout that is just 30 minutes long can be really intense and have an IF score of over 1.0, but that doesn't mean you'll earn a lot of TSS from it. By contrast, you can have a 2-hour ride that's not very intense, but will earn you a lot of TSS. Didn't find what you're looking for? You can find more acronyms for workout drills here.

How to Change Workout Intensity

This article will teach you about the intensity of workouts and how to manipulate this variable. Intensity Factor (IF)® Defined The Intensity Factor of a ride is defined as how intense/difficult the ride is. An IF of 1.0 is equal to an all out, one hour effort. An IF of .7 means the rider will be working at 70% of their all out pace for the hour. This is a quick way to gauge how hard your workout will be. How does IF display on screen? Screen_Shot_2017-04-11_at_12.38.27_PM.png Notice the green line labeled as "Actual" in the key. This green line also indicates the IF of your ride in comparison to the IF of the prescribed workout. If the green line lays directly atop the course profile (as it does in the screenshot below), that indicates the workout will be completed at the prescribed IF. How to change the Intensity of a Workout First, open the workout. Then, find the box in the lower left-hand corner of the screen that allows you to adjust the workout's intensity (screenshot below). This tool allows you change the IF of the workout while keeping the workout's intervals the same. Note that the course profile of the ride below has the same intervals, but a higher IF and higher power. Desktop intensity_electron.png iOS/Android intensityRN1.PNG intensityRN2.PNG How will the course profile and green IF line display during the ride and on my Career page? If you change the IF of a workout, the course profile will adjust accordingly and an inflated or deflated course will display for the duration of your ride. After you complete your ride, the workout will display on your Career page in its original form. However, the green "Actual" or IF line will display the intensity of the workout that you did. The screenshot below is an example of what a ride with a manipulated IF looks like on your Career page (without the power data). Screen_Shot_2017-04-11_at_6.00.05_PM.png What do I do as I become stronger? Changing the IF can be an interesting change of pace to a favorite ride, but this feature should not be used as a substitute for changing your FTP as you get stronger. Update your FTP rather than increasing the IF of rides. This way, your TSS numbers will be more accurate.

Workout Levels

Workout Levels are a metric within TrainerRoad that provide a way to easily compare the difficulty of workouts. Workout levels compare the relative difficulty of workouts within each energy system and training zone. They range from 1 to 10, with 1 representing an easy workout and 10 being a very difficult one. How are Workout Levels calculated? Workout Levels go beyond traditional metrics, like Training Stress Score (TSS) and Intensity Factor (IF). They utilize TrainerRoad AI's data-driven insights and incorporate nuanced factors such as repetition, interval length, and recovery time to quantify the relative difficulty of each TrainerRoad workout. The result is workout difficulty rankings that are based on real-world experience and easy to understand. Workout Levels are unique to TrainerRoad, using a formula derived from machine learning and based on our extensive data set. Where are Workout Levels displayed? The primary Workout Level for a workout is displayed on the workout profile alongside other workout information such as duration, TSS, and IF. You will see the workout level on all TrainerRoad workouts: Screenshot 2026-07-16 at 3.09.40 PM.png Workout Levels on the Calendar You will also see a workouts primary Workout Level in the upper left hand corner below the title of the workout when viewing an individual workout: Screenshot 2026-07-16 at 3.11.31 PM.png Primary Workout Level for an Individual Workout Note: The only structured workouts without Workout Levels are FTP assessments and custom workouts. When viewing a TrainerRoad workout you will also see the other Workout Levels targeted in any given workout in the Workout Levels chart below AI Predicted Difficulty. These levels show the performance targets for that particular workout relative to your current FTP: Screenshot 2026-07-16 at 3.18.07 PM.png FAQ How are these different from my individual Athlete Levels? Your individual Athlete Levels are a representation of your capabilities within the context of Workout Levels. Workout Levels are ML-driven quantifications of the relative difficulty workouts. Athlete Levels show your relative current abilities across Training Zones. You can check your Athlete Levels in your Career in the relative zone to check what difficulty of workouts are right for you based on your current abilities. Are Workout Levels always comparable? While Workout Levels do give you a good sense of how a workout might compare relative to another workout in TrainerRoad, Workout Levels are not strictly comparable even within one zone. How a workout feels to you can vary from one workout to the next based on the overall structure and duration of the workout. For this reason we recommend using AI Predicted Difficulty alongside Workout Levels for more insight into how your planned training might feel. Are Workout Levels personalized to each athlete? No. Workout Levels are assigned to a specific workout based on its difficulty and are calculated regardless of an athlete's abilities. Individual Athlete Levels are unique to each athlete. Your Progression Levels give you an indication of what workout difficulty you will be capable of completing. Will my custom workouts have Workout Levels? No, custom workouts do not currently have Workout Levels. Will Outside Workouts have Workout Levels? Yes. Every Outside Workout in the TrainerRoad workout library will have Workout Levels assigned to them. If you find an Outside Workout that doesn't have Workout Levels, please contact [email protected]
