It's the biggest issue with the current implementation. Ask for a 240-minute run after a marathon race and look what you will get.

Hi Piotr, this one slipped through, thanks for the push. You're right, and your example is exactly the gap. The weekly plan already treats each day's time as a maximum and picks a shorter session when that fits better ("Coach chooses the duration" in your training schedule). TrainNow doesn't yet: it takes the length you ask for as given, so a 240-minute request the day after a marathon gets you 240 minutes instead of a push back toward something short and easy. A recommended duration in TrainNow, based on your fatigue and a recent race, is the missing half of this request, and I've added your example to it.
