All of this under the 3 workouts/week on LV climbing RR plan.

So that’s
5 work weeks
1 recovery week

@SarahLaverty Is plan builder really that rigid and trapped into combining the existing block structure from the static plans…especially with regards to those longish base plans?
Do you think PB resulted in a good outcome here?
I’m pretty sure most coaches would not structure 12 weeks that way but moreover use something like
3 work
1 recovery
3 work
1 recovery
3 work
1 recovery
Doesn’t that look much better? BTW that would also fa…
