Hi Matt,
Are you asking how you can set how many hours you have to train for each week? If so, you can find that under the āGOALSā tab on the main page. You can select an Improvement Rate that matches your time availability for the week from there. Cheers
Hi Newton,
You can set the usual activity time in the fitness planner to 5:30/6:00am, and the fitness planner will then show your freshness/fitness at that point in time for every day on the planner.
Your recommended workouts are calculated on the fly every time you log in. HTH
The Usual Activity Time gets stored in the browserās cache. If you change browsers or open the page incognito, it will set it to the current time. If you use the same browser, the value should be maintained.
Hey all, sorry I thought I typed in my question but it turns out I only typed in the subject line and hit send by mistake.
What I was asking about time availability is how do I set my rides/workouts for a certain lengths of time during the work week, then longer rides over the weekend. I believe I am like most, if not all, of us on here who are basically in the same boat with time availability. With working a 40 (sometimes a bit more) hour work week and taking care of other life things, I have about 1 hour 30-45 minutes left for a ride in the evening after work. But, on Saturday, Sunday and most holidays I have about 3-5 hours. So I was wanting to know how to set my schedule up accordingly so the fitness planner picks the rides out each day to fit the time I have available. Iāll try Scottās suggestion by posting around with the goals tab.
Thanks .
The XATA will also learn how you typically train. As you mentioned, do your shorter rides during the week, and longer rides on the weekend. XATA will learn that you have more time to train on weekends and less time to train during the week, which will be reflected in the daily workout suggestions. HTH
High @ManofSteele Scott and @xertedbrain
Iāve just re-upped my Xert sub again to try the forecast beta. Very intriguing and I love a lot of what Xert does.
Just to speed up my (re) learning curve, is it possible to set daily time limits? Or exclude races/particular rides from the future plan stuff?
I just ran the forecast and it immediately has me riding a ~6hr ride on Sunday. The only time I ride on the weekend is either a race, or an hour on Saturday on the trainer.
My data may be a bit messed up still I accidentally double pumped it with data from Strava (I think) when I peeked back in October. That blew out all my Xert data at the time.
You can set this by clicking on the watch icon, which pops up when you place your mouse above a forecast item in the planner.
Currently when you forecast a goal or event, the progression schedule isnāt restricted in any way.
The routine considers your activity history and applies that to the forecast.
Once you have a forecast plotted on the Planner you can adjust availability for each day of the week as @hpbieker mentions. Once youāve done that, recast your plan and it should factor in your availability settings.
I had some mishaps with this function on my first round of testing but I believe itās fixed now.
The Beta is in flux.
Thanks.
Unfortunately Iām having issues. Itās not updating/saving any changes I try and make.
It lets me click on the watch, select unavailable and default for Sundayās, click save and nothing has changed.
You should see a red or orange dot on the clock for days with availability tweaks.
Once all your days are configured you next need to Adapt Forecast or return to the setup guide and rerun your forecast.
Anytime something is tweaked with a forecast whether a setting or activity based, a red dot will appear on the Adapt Forecast button to remind you to run it.
The orange dot flashes up for half a second then disappears again .
Now itās forecasting me a 7hr ride for Sunday lol.
I am sure itās me not entering it right, but itās not going to work well for me if itās constantly scheduling me 3-400XSS a week that I am not going to do any of.
I go through the watch button, select unavailable and default for all Sundayās, apply, then when I click on the forecast button it says itās adapting the plan but then none of the changes I actually want applied seem to be effective.
The only thing which help by me for recalculating, is to use the blue āia beta buttonā and go with the same settings through the wizard again. The Adapt Button didnāt work for me, too.
Bah, thought that was going to be the solution. I donāt know what Iām doing wrong now. Obviously something isnāt being saved somewhere along the editing of availability process
Iāve been using Goals, Target Date, and Run Forecast AI with success.
But I have orange and red dots that donāt disappear.
Thatās what I had to do as well. Iām guessing itās a bug and in the future youāll just be able to click the adapt.
However, Iām not totally sure on that because one time when I adjusted time constraints I didnāt have enough time left in the program to achieve the goal. It almost seems like if you change your time constraints you need to go through the whole plan wizard againā¦
But then again, what if youāre not changing time constraints but youāre just not training enough? The adapt button might have the same issue of no longer being able to meet the goal.
Iām glad Iām paying for this product and not trying to build it . Nice job team Iām sure all these issues youāll work out.
How do you set the time constraints if thereās nothing on the planner?
i.e. if I deleted the forecast plan, can I go and set the daily limits and then generate a forecast plan?
My āworkflowā:
Create a plan with the wizard āBlue Button Forecast AI Betaā
Change the durations,avaibility, worktime, ā¦
Try the adapt button ā didnĀ“t work for me
Press the wizard Button and go through the same settings and let it recalculate ā works
Weāll take a look at this today. Thanks!
