I tried searching for this so apols if this has been asked before.
I’m wondering if this is expected behaviour?
So, I’ve created a plan and put it in my calendar.
In the app, when I go to Today I see today’s workout (makes sense), but I don’t see any other options available (say in case I want to do a different suggested workout to the plan). The refresh option doesn’t do anything, neither does changing the time from the drop-down or selecting the carousel dots.
Should I be able to view and choose alternatives workouts here? It would be a great option to have - especially as there’s times when I want to do a workout of different duration/intensity etc. Instead I have to go to the workout library and fine one there, but one of the best features of the app is the Today suggestions.
Hi, good question / idea. For now instead of going on TODAY tab go to the workout tab and you will see your other workouts there from your plan. We are not fully optimized for this idea yet but I like the thinking, meaning training more by feel.
Yes, I’m often needing to adjust sessions on the fly (work, motivation etc.) so just an option to see what would otherwise be there in Today’s suggestions as well as the plan’s session for the day would be great for easily adding some flexibility into the plan. Admittedly it goes against the notion of having a plan, but a training approach nonetheless!
No I am a strong believer that the individual should fine tune the plan on the fly and it is still a plan. Today is there for flexibility but it’s more like I feel like something different. We are actually working to change how TODAY works so it would have “Load More” instead of refresh, in this case you still would have the original planned workout but just have more choices.
Are you saying you would like it to find something similar from our database or are you saying you just want to see other workouts from your plan? Because other workouts from your plan are available now on workouts tab. I would think if it gave other workouts similar to your planned one but randomly different?
Or maybe TODAY just needs to be smarter. If you can give any examples or more specifics of what you are thinking it would help. One thing that is clear is people think very differently regarding training and plans.
I think improvements to TODAY in general might be a separate topic, and in all honesty I’m still pretty new to TD so I’m not sure what ideas I can offer there yet.
When combining TODAY with a plan though, some similar alternatives would be amazing, especially if you could change the duration but still keep the same kind of workout (even if just the same theme - threshold, tempo etc.).
As a starting point, a more simple enhancement though would be to offer the standard TODAY suggestions as well as the planned session. So the primary offering is the session from the plan, but then also being able to view other suggestions (as you can on days without a scheduled workout) so there is some choice if I’m not feeling the planned workout. Does that make sense?
Edit - I’ve spotted that TODAY is actually different in the web app, and does show suggestions on the day I have a scheduled workout, but not the scheduled workout. Suggest there should be some consistency across accessing TODAY via the app and the web app.
I am a little confused. We give you 4 choices now on TODAY tab (3 alternatives to your planned activity) they are provided based on some intelligent randomness. It sounds like that is what you are asking for. But yes if you have a threshold scheduled for today with say 8 minutes of total time at threshold we could look for similar workouts 6-10 minutes @ threshold but constrained by your time limit suggested.
If you look at non-Coach jack workouts when you click on the workout at the bottom we have similar workouts. Adding this to CJ workouts would seem to solve this as well.
Not on the day I have a workout in my calendar, in the app.
As per my original post, this is what I see in TODAY when I have a Workout in my calendar. And when I select any of the options (see image - highlighted in red), nothing changes - only the calendar workout is displayed so I can’t view or choose any alternative. This only happens on days when have a workout in my calendar, on other days I can access alternatives.
Oh I did not understand what you meant. Swiping to the side shows the other 3 workouts and these are filtered by time. Are you saying swiping does not work? We should probably make those dots clickable as well.
