Curious...Has anyone ever quit a program because they just don't like the workouts? I'm about to start week 6 of a 9 week program and I've gotten to the point that I completely dread the workouts and look for excuses to skip. I've never had this problem. Some programs I like more than others but I've always finished them out. I told myself I was just gonna push through this one, only 3 weeks left but I really just want to move on to something else I'm more excited about. Advice?

I started a program a few weeks ago on Zwift for my bike because it looked like it had some pretty good workouts...not that I didn't like the program, but it wasn't right for me currently with my schedule and some other things...so I disenrolled and started another program on Zwift that is better for my current situation...no biggie.
Thanks for this and I agree. I think I was just looking for validation that it's ok to move on. Typically when I start a program I really try to finish but this one just isn't a fit for me. That's ok!
If you dislike a program I wouldn't e pact a great chance of adhearance to continue training.
When I program somebody new I will utilize their training history including responses and "likes" to exercise selection, rep schemes, intensity, etc...
If you are running a program and it isn't to your liking or are considering not training because of it...I would think it is morevthan reasonable to move on.
If you are dreading it, then it is time to switch to something else.
