Coach Jack (Single) Workout Generator

Hi,

It would be great to generate single workouts from Coach Jack without building a complete training plan.

For example if I want to do a relatively hard VO2max #17 or #18, I have to generate a plan that is long enough (with a peak block) or try to search if someone in the community already copied and saved it for others. Sometimes that is the case but in most scenarios I create a (dummy) plan to get a specific workout.

I hope you understand what I’m trying to say? If there is already a similar request: Sorry but I didn’t see that and thus you can close this thread!

Best regards,
Stephan

No, this is the first of this request like this. I fully understand the “what” you are requesting but I don’t necessary understand the why or how you plan to use it. If you just want to make some VO2max intervals this is super inside our app for training inside the app. But if you want to use it in another system that does not help.

You can see that feature here

What we could do is create a feature from My Plans, to convert to list, and then you could take a whole 6-22 and convert it to a list and just grab from that list any time, if you are not following a plan in our calendar you could set a my plans to active and grab any workout out want in our app…

I guess I am also asking why a CJ workout? Meaning because in general it’s hard to search/find a specific number of intervals or because you are following a CJ plan and want to repeat something or another reason? Maybe this feature in the app would be enough if you could just send it to another platform… I am not opposed to your idea or let’s say I like it, just trying to understand.

Thanks for your detailed answer.

The reason why I am asking this is that I “dynamically” changed the length of my training plan. First I had a plan with one single event in April. Thus I’m now in the peak block with demanding intervals like VO2max #16 or similar. When I’m now extending my plan to let’s say June the blocks get stretched or rather it’s switching to a base block where a peak block was before. Thus I’m not able to go one with my hard intervals (VO2max #17, #18 etc. for example) but instead have VO2max #7 or something like that instead.

To put it in other words: What should I do if I extend my plan and thus the blocks got stretched and shifted (maybe kind of a newbie question because I got now professionell background)?

Got it: The primary event date should not be changed and everything should be build around that. I don’t know why the primaery event date also shifted but now I’m aware of that.

PS: I also realised how nice the feature of adding intervals on the fly is: Just adding VO2max intervals when I’m feeling great to push it really hard on my hard intervals Monday! :grinning:
