I was cramping pretty badly in my abdomen during the last section of tunemah. Had to close my eyes and let the power fall where it may, that’s how bad I was feeling. Anyways, I finished at 100% TSS. I didn’t fail, but I’m worried how will I be able to complete McAdie +1. Could my FTP be too high?…

If you are in SSB2, when you get to Mary Austin -1 next week, I’d recommend starting the workout at -10%. If you feel ok after the first interval, bump to -5%. You should be able to complete and it will give you the adaptations Coach Chad is trying for. Also how fueled were you for the ride and dur…

Cheers. I was tired and slept badly the night before, and didn’t take on any carbs during the ride. Basic error :man_facepalming:t2:

I thought I’d check in as I did a 20 min test today, indoors. Unfortunately GIGO is the best description I can find. I was way to conservative on pacing and the result is not reasonable as a result. I’ve done a few workouts where I lowered the intensity to 98% right off the bat and it all feels the…

Hello, guys. I’m new on TR and need advice on SSBHV. I’m 29 5.10" 182lbs doing TR plan builder and working on SSBHV I since 5 weeks ago. Quite diligently doing 3 weeks structured training and only fail at 1 workout because of lack of sleep. (Can I assume that my ftp is correct?) On the week 4 I fa…

If you found Glassy hard then you have a problem…I would take 2 days off completely - then do zone 2 for a week e.g Pettit, Fletcher etc. Then try restarting SSBHV from the start of the week you were in. I did HV 2 years ago - it’s tough!

Yes it is. It’s very though but I think it’s still manageable since I always finish the workout completely. It just I dunno since when it went wrong. Lol. I hope after taking this longer rest I can do better at structured training.

Are you new to structured training? Then I would switch to MV or even LV. If you notice after a few weeks that the LV or MV plan is too easy, you can add some Z2 rides for extra volume and slowly build up towards a higher volume plan. More is not always better (I am very experienced in making this e…

Yes i’m new to this. Before TR i’m doing 3months of polarized training with zwift. It’s lot of z2 (about 12-13hr/week) and one session of 2x20 or vo2 max interval. I thought that i can handle the HV because the amount of tss per week is as much as my tss before (±600/week). But it’s differnt. I’m fi…

My recommendation. If you are new to TR, don’t do HV. Seriously. Do SSB 1 LV then SSB 2 MV and see how you feel. If you want to ride mode, add in Zone 2 endurance rides.
