- Time-of-day windows. You set how long, not when.
- Two rides in one day. One ride a day.
- Other sports. It plans cycling.
- Future dates one by one. Only today changes on its own; your week sets the rest.
A cycling training plan that fits your schedule.
Tell Summit how long you could ride each day and which days you’d rather go your own way. Each session is built inside those minutes, the plan keeps building towards your goal, and when today changes, you change today. On Elite.

What you set, and what Summit does with it.
Minutes, not time slots. You say how long; the engine decides what fits.

Try it: make a day shorter or longer, or tick “My own way”.
What you set
- How long you could ride each weekday, in 15-minute steps up to 5 hours. Zero makes it a rest day.
- The days you’d rather go your own way: the club ride, the Sunday group, a ride with friends. Summit plans no key session, hard session or test on them, only an aerobic ride.
- Today, when today is different: a new duration on the Today screen.
What Summit does with it
- Shapes each session to the minutes you have: shorter at the same intensity, or a key session stepped down to its easier type.
- Leaves a session out when even its lightest useful version doesn’t fit the day.
- Plans a key session only on a day with at least 30 minutes.
- Keeps key sessions, hard sessions and tests off the days you go your own way, and plans an aerobic ride there. The quality work goes to the other days; if they can’t hold it, the week carries one key session fewer.
- Applies a saved week from today and re-plans the weeks ahead.
In the app you set it during onboarding, then under Calendar → Your week on Elite: “Set how long you could ride each day, and tick the days you’d rather go your own way.”
When today is different.
A meeting that runs late, an early start, a free afternoon. Change today on its own; the settings of your week stay as they are.
Choose duration · EliteHow long you have today. Today’s plan is re-fitted to it; zero cancels the day.
Only today changes this way; future dates can’t be edited one by one. Your week sets each weekday from today on.
A missed key session finds another day.
An example week, the one at the top of this page: four weekdays with time, Friday off, the weekend ridden your own way.
- Tuesday’s key session is missedWork ran late and the ride didn’t happen.
- Summit looks later in the weekNever a day already past, never a day you go your own way, never a day without enough time.
- Only midweek is leftFriday is rest and the weekend is yours, so Wednesday and Thursday are the candidates. Either way, the week’s load budget is kept.
What the rest of the week does with a miss, and what to do yourself, is in Missed a training session? →
Weekly availability and the adaptive plan are Elite. On Free and Pro the plan is a locked card, with no session details; your recovery score, sleep, imported rides and races on the calendar stay free. Prices, with their caveat, are on the pricing page →
What it doesn’t do.
Ill? That is not availability. “Feeling under the weather” is a separate flag, and it stops the day’s training. How the plan handles illness →
Questions before you start.
Is a plan that fits my week free?
No. Weekly availability and the adaptive plan built inside it are Elite; on Free and Pro the plan is a locked card, with no session type or duration. The daily recovery score, the sleep score and analysis, your imported rides and your races and events on the calendar are free on every plan, permanently. Premium has a 14-day trial for new subscribers; the pricing page has the prices and their caveat.
Can I change a single day?
Today, yes. On the Today screen, choose how long you have today and today’s plan is re-fitted to it; zero cancels the day. Future dates can’t be changed one by one: set your week instead, which applies from today and re-plans the weeks ahead.
What is an own-way day?
A day you tick as “My own way” in your week: the club ride, a group ride, a ride with friends. Summit plans no key session, hard session or test on it, only an aerobic ride. The quality work goes to the other days, and if they can’t hold it the week carries one key session fewer. A missed key session is never moved onto it.
What if I miss a session?
The week keeps its load budget. A missed key session moves to a later training day of the same week, never onto a day already past, a day you go your own way or a day without enough time.
Do I need a power meter?
No, not since app 1.7.0. Every structured session can be ridden by heart rate: long, steady work is set in % of your LTHR, and short, hard work goes by feel, with an RPE. The power analysis (eFTP, critical power, W′ and the power curve) still needs power data. The session, in watts or in heart rate, is Elite.
