Happy new year everyone!

Last year I used RaceAI to create training plans for my 3 key events. Btw I had to do it in 3 stages (e.g., plan for a 1 hour hillclimb at the end of May, then plan for a gravel race in July, and then plan for cyclocross starting in September) - and that worked fine.

I would like to add several vacations/camping trips where I won’t be riding to the Planner before I run RaceAI since I would rather have it figure in those low/no training days as part of the plan - as opposed to needing to see the impact after the fact.

Is there a way to mark a stretch of time in the Planner as “rest days” other than doing it one by one? Intervals.icu supports this feature in their Activities calendar.

thanks Peter

We don’t have a way to assign a range of unavailable days at this time but you can do them one-by-one and XFAI will exclude them from your training.

thanks for the reply.

Could you please add this as a Feature Request?

How many days in a row completely off the bike are you talking about? A separate feature for this might save a few clicks, but setting yourself as unavailable for 5-10 days only involves 15-30 clicks today. It is not something you do that often.

@hpbieker That is a fair point. I was thinking I had to find a way to navigate to a workout and click on the “rest day” radio button. Then I was worried that setting the day as “unavailable” would have side-effects. But I saw that the default is just for that day. So I did do the 30 clicks to set those 15 days as “unavailable”. I retract my Feature Request request 😉
