And the surplus is even larger on 12/17/2022 without adding any workuts, seemingly because of the suggested workout on 12/16/22, not the additional 3 workouts that day.
It seems that the Traing Status and the XXS deficit/surplus is updated the next day for the first suggested workout? But for additional workouts the Training Status is updated for the same day.
Shouldn’t all workouts done on 12/16/22 affect the XXS deficit/surplus at the end of 12/16/22, by 23:59 according to my settings?
I thought I understood it, but then, when I paused workouts because of covid, I saw this strange pattern: First workout on day «D» affect XXS the NEXT day by 23:59, a workout number two or three on «D» day affects XXS the SAME day by 23:59.
This is according to the PLANNER, activities being treated differently, and I don’t get it all.
You must remember to change the activity start time when you select a workout from the Planner. If you use drag and drop you must open the workout/activity afterwards to edit the start time. An update could resolve that issue by popping the same form as when you Schedule a workout from the Recommended Training list. Only in this case the date would be filled in and cursor moves to Workout Time. Example –
The alternative is to change the As Of time under Goals to reflect the time of day you normally train. However, I prefer the end-of-day default of 11:59pm. If I use the Planner I make sure to enter the approximate start time for the activity. But I normally go day to day and today the advice reflects what the deficit/surplus will be at the end of today if I don’t do anything today.
If I were to pack the day with multiple workouts (with appropriate start times) the surplus will increase with each workout added.
Taper (-1) is normally used when you want to ease off before an event date or after performing a block of training before the next block.
For any sickness or injury or schedule hiccup that affects a week or more, you may as well throw IR into Off-Season and ignore XATA during that period and during the first week getting back to normal.
Otherwise XATA is using a rolling 7-day window to predict your training requirements moving forward against your recent past but you just tossed your normal schedule out the window.
Also consider predicted form of Very fresh doesn’t apply at all. You were/are sick and likely shouldn’t ride. If you slam the Freshness Feedback slider to the left accordingly the only workouts will be in the active recovery range (Focus: 24 hours).
