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?…

I did Carpathian Peak +3 today, and I’d done it a year ago too. Two massively different experiences at virtually the same FTP then and now. I was cal restricting then and cracked it on last year. The whole thing felt like a massive brutal slog fest. Really nasty and I was dreading it today. Today …

I’m so happy found this thread. I feel like less of a failure now. I’m new to Trainerroad road and made it through my first two over under workouts but couldn’t make it through McAdie last week. I have Palisade scheduled for tomorrow and am scared. After reading through this I’m going to make sure I…

I haven’t done McAdie +1 yet, but have it on my calendar on a week from today (I’m doing SSB1 mid volume right now). I am little scared since I didn’t make it though the McAdie where the “under” was the 2 minutes instead of the “over”. I have Over- under today and am mentally planning for them. …

There are many Over-Under threads on the forum, I’d suggest giving them a read for both mental and physical tips & tricks to help you conquer these workouts. :+1:

Abdominal cramping is a sign of inadequate hyrdration. Be vigilant of the hydration and electrolytes. Good luck! -Hugh

Fuel as well. I had a bastardised version of Palisade this morning (same work but reduced recoveries/ warm up/ cool down to get to 1:15), and found the first interval hard. On waking I had a gel, finished a carb mix bottle before first interval, RPE was definitely less for rest of the intervals. N…

Threads like these are why I prefer SSB HV… although the vo2 max intervals in build are probably going to slap me in the face.

Yup. Same deal, I did SPBHV and SSBHV and the last few minutes of the ramp tests were becoming so terrible I had to switch to a different protocol! The saving grace is that VO2 fitness comes along relatively quickly so it shouldn’t suck for more than a couple of weeks. I will, however, admit to doi…
