ATP Improvements
It would be cool if we could write some things in the ATP blocks, like running mesocycle, or swimming mesocycle and even coloring the weekly blocks with different colors.

I have a suggestion regarding the setup of the Annual Training Plan. At the moment, you can either use the default structure as provided, or customize the Period Names — but in doing so, you lose all the original design formatting.
Would it be possible to keep the original color scheme even when choosing a custom methodology with different naming? It would also be great to have the option to add a few "free" or flexible periods.
Similarly, for the Limiters section, it would be valuable to allow custom naming and the ability to add items beyond the default list. I believe there is still a lot of potential to further develop the ATP functionality.
This isn’t just about aesthetics — it's also important for our coaches to learn how to build a proper annual plan and use it as a framework for guiding their training strategy.

I use custom periods in the ATP, however, I have use the allotted amount of periods as well as the limited use of colors based on the blocks provided. It would be great to be able to choose how many periods, what they are called, how many weeks constitutes a block and what colors said period should be.
thanks!

Add default block testing with timed suggestions.
******* test, FTP test, E.T.C.Users can customize the testing protocols available.

Hi everybody,
I think it could be useful, (for beginner self made coach like me) that when you have to create an automatic ATP it takes into consideration the main events (A , B, C type) but also the holidays (1 week, 2 week ecc) at low tss score because I don't have much time to train.For example:
Imput--> C race 15/02 ;
B race 02/04 ;
A race 22/06 - 30/07 ;
Holidays from 12 to 25/08 week tss 300 ;
B race 15/09 ;
A race 22/10Output--> ATP considering these eventualities

Allow users to create their own period names for use in the ATP. Its difficult to fit any other plan types into the existing names which don't have much meaning unless following a very specific methodology.

trainingpeaks offers the ATP, where you can choose a set of limiters on which you want to improve in a training week.
However, the limiters are from the "training bible" of Mr. Friel, and are not necessary the terms everybody uses to think about training.
For instance, one might want to use "Aerobic Treshold", "FTP", "VO2max", "FRC", "Pmax" and the like to describe the content of a training week, and also one might want to priorize the limiters according to their importance.
So it would be nice to have a configurable list of limiters choosen for an ATP.
It would also be nice if one could assign to a workout the limiters which will get adressed by the workout, so that one can see at a glance what todays training is about.

Add 'Muscular transition' option in 'Strength' field of ATP. It is supposed to be an intermediary step between 'Anatomical adaptation' and 'Muscular strength'.
