Most of the time you can prevent this, leaving the starting spot blank and set your trainee as substitution and reserve.

But pay attention, using this "feature" will result in loosing 36 minutes of training in a "walk over".

This is the best reply this year for me. Genius idea to save my training

To make it more genius:
- only 9 players on the gane-roster for one-position-training, 8 for two-position-training.
- (strictly) follow depth chart
- max. two positions blank
- let them play
!

Personally, I don't ever blank a position and I generally don't have the problem with substitutions during garbage time of blowouts either.

But I do have to make sure that
1. I never dress more than 2 players per non-training position (so if I'm training 1 position that needs a full 48, I can only dress 9 players total)
2. I set my trainee at Starter + Backup + Reserve for the training position
3. The trainee has at least some stamina - I've had very rare occurrences where a 1-2 stamina player still gets subbed out very late in a blowout, but so far even in those cases he at least attains 44 minutes before going out.
4. I use “Follow Depth Chart” and “Let Them Play”

Not necessarily a perfect solution, but at least doesn't leave me at risk of an unexpected walkover destroying my training.

My typical roster lineup looks something like:
PG - Starter / Good Guard Reserve / Bad Guard Reserve
SG - Starter / Good Guard Reserve / Bad Guard Reserve
SF - Starter / SF Backup / SF Backup
PF - Starter / PF Backup / PF Backup
C - Trainee / Trainee / Trainee
