Ride Session Time Allocator

Allocate a fixed cycling time budget between warm-up, steady work, intervals, recoveries, and cooldown according to user-selected priorities.

Direct answer: Reserve warm-up and cooldown first, then fit steady work, interval work, recoveries, and transitions into the remaining clock.

Total time (min)

Warm-up (min)

Cooldown (min)

Interval work (min)

Recovery (min)

Transitions / buffer (min)

Why this tool is useful

Fixed-time rides become easier to structure when warm-up, steady work, intervals, recoveries, transitions, and cooldown are all counted.

How it works

The app calculates the requested clock, then protects the fixed components and reduces interval repeats when necessary. The final table shows exactly where the minutes went.

Interpretation and common mistakes

Use the result as a transparent planning aid. It uses the values you enter and does not measure fitness, recovery, or training readiness.

Keep definitions consistent when comparing sessions.
Separate planned workload from completed workload.
Treat flags as review prompts, not universal limits.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave time unused?

Yes. Remaining minutes are shown.

What if intervals do not fit?

The tool shows the number of repeats that fit after protecting the other blocks.

Does it prescribe intensity?

No. It allocates time only.
