I did something else than planned: what happens to my week?
There was a run in your plan for today, and you rode for two hours. You skip that run, and the app asks why. That reason is no formality: it decides what happens to your week afterwards.
In short
- Nothing is made up.
- The load of what you did do goes nowhere.
- "Other" is the leftover button: the day counts as missed.
- A hard session moves to another day inside the same week, as long as there is space to the hard days before and after it.
1.What "Did something else" does to your day
Pick that reason and the day gets the state replaced. Your week simply counts it: if your week was on three sessions, it stays "3 of 3 sessions", with a note that one was replaced.
Nothing is made up. The session does not look for a free day later in the week, and a hard session of that day does not move. The day is filled, only with something else than your plan asked for.
The load of what you did do goes nowhere. Your logged ride counts towards your load, your load balance and your weekly total, like any other session.
2.The difference with rest and with Other
"Chose to rest" says that rest was the intention. That day does not count as a session, and it does count towards how rested the app expects you to be tomorrow. "Other" is the leftover button: the day counts as missed.
Ride every Sunday instead of running and with "Other" you build a run of weeks that count as two. That run comes back in the proposal for your number of sessions a week.
| Reason | Your day | Counts as a session |
|---|---|---|
| Did something else | Replaced | Yes |
| Chose to rest | Rest was the intention | No |
| Other | Missed | No |
3.How the app proposes your own session
If you logged a ride, a swim or a walk of some length that day which is not attached to a planned session, then "Did something else" sits at the top of the sheet, already selected, with your session alongside it. Of two loose sessions the app proposes the longest.
It stays a proposal. Every other reason sits in the same place and is one tap away. If the app finds nothing, the reason simply sits in the list, without a link to a session.
4.What happens when you do miss something
Skip it with one of the other reasons and it depends on the session. An easy endurance session is not made up and your week does not count it: fewer sessions means less volume, and taking that volume back in one go is the spike injuries come from.
A hard session moves to another day inside the same week, as long as there is space to the hard days before and after it. If that does not fit, the quality drops. Nothing crosses the week boundary.
Frequently asked questions
Does my week really count a replaced day?
Yes. The week card counts the day as done and adds that one was replaced. Nothing gets rescheduled, because the day did not stay empty.
When do I pick "Chose to rest" and when "Did something else"?
Chose to rest is for a day without training. Did something else is for a day on which you did move, but did something other than your plan asked for.
Does my other sport have to be in my plan?
Not for the load: every logged session counts towards your total. For the replaced state it does, because that is about a day with a planned session on it.
What if I delete my ride later?
The skip stays and your day stays replaced. Only the mention of that ride drops out of your timeline.

How often a week should I train?
Your training days say when you can; your target number says how often. Why the range runs from two to six, and what happens when you miss a session.
What the plan expected and what you gave: your effort after a session
After a session the slider already holds a suggestion, with the expected effort from your plan below it. Read where those two come from and why only your own rating counts as your judgement.
Trimetra knows the difference between a day that stayed empty and a day you filled differently, and counts each of them in your week in its own way.
