Missed a Workout? Your Plan Should Recalculate
6 min read
Missed sessions are input, not failure. N+One Dynamic Coach recalculates load and gives the next session — connected to Garmin, Strava, Whoop, intervals.icu.
Short answer: Tell the coach you missed the session (or let sync detect the gap). The plan should recalculate remaining priority work — not scold you, not silently stack double intervals tomorrow.
Rigid calendars treat misses as failure. Adaptive coaching treats them as signal: life happened, recovery changed, load forecast updates.
Better: rebalance around what you actually completed and what the block still needs.

| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| Missed session type | VO2 miss ≠ optional Z2 miss |
| Time left in block | Compress or drop lower-priority work |
| Readiness today | Maybe the miss was protective |
| Upcoming event | Protect key sessions remaining |

Calendar reflow reshuffles boxes. A Dynamic Coach explains why Thursday changed and holds conversation: "Travel week — keep one intensity touch or go all aerobic?"
Connected to Garmin, Strava, Whoop, intervals.icu so recalculation uses real load, not only empty calendar slots.
One miss rarely does. Patterns matter. Recalculate and protect remaining key sessions.
Usually no. Increase priority of the next key day slightly, not same-day doubles.
