Base phase and hit

I have started a base/build/peak xata training today and xert gives magic buckets with a difficult of 138 to me in the base phase. How is this possible?

No one has any ideas? I’ve been road cycling for a while, but I’m new to structured training and thought that the base phase was only supposed to involve endurance rides. That’s why I’m surprised that xert is still giving me high and peak buckets.

It used to be BBP logic started the next day when configured with the default target date of 120 days from today.
Now it appears it is not kicking in until two days later. I’ll report the bug.
In the meantime, set your TED (target event date) to 118 days out or wait until tomorrow. :slight_smile:
It’s also a good idea to validate your signature before starting a long base phase where you won’t be expressing max efforts to failure unless you override the Advisor.
Consider shooting for a BT (outdoors or indoors) before starting the program.

Ah, okay, I understand. It takes a day with 120 days planned. It’s actually switched over now and is showing 0 for both high and peak. But I’ll still do a Breakthrough workout on Saturday, as you recommended. I’ll switch back to Continuous now, and on Sunday I’ll change it to 117 days Base/Build/Peak.

Thanks for the explanation.

EDIT: And if I understand correctly, it’s best if I set the decay method to “none” during the base phase.
