Race infos issues with forecastAI (and Xert in general)

How To
1

Master cyclist here, racing all summer. Using forcast AI right now. Briefly, I am unable to:

  • enter multiple consecutive days of racing.
  • enter more than 1 race in the season (currently adding past races (activities) of similar duration /intensity in the planner and pinning then for the AI to adapt the plan). Will not work for consecutive days of racing as the AI is not able to create a proper taper.
  • select time trialing as a type of race with minimum race duration for any other race set @ 1 hour (our time trials between 20 and 30 minutes)

Am I the only finding this strange as most competing athletes will do more than 1 race in the season and stage racing, which often includes a TT, is common.

thanks for your help.

It sounds like you’ve already applied tips and suggestions mentioned here –

Is the short TT a stage during the event? Option A, prepare for hardest stage?

Yeah. Relatively short TT. 30 minute effort. The hardest event is the road race, the following day. If I put the road race as the race day (the biggest XSS), and add manually the TT effort (copying a simlar activity from the past), the AI bugs and is not able to generate a proper taper week. I guess I could do the opposite, use the TT as the race day, and manually add the road race estimated requirements manually. Must be a way to improve this I would think.
