I’m going to follow this up with a really well put explanation by @MI-XC himself from another thread:

> Agree, you don’t need to train to train. Do a ramp test (already scheduled in the beginning of any plan) and your FTP will adjust the future workouts. You could literally have never worked out a day in your life and start a TR plan. Pick low volume Sweet Spot Base to start.

As he mentioned, just start over with SSB 1 and 2, and try to get as far as you can before your race.
