Hello all,
I’m almost at the end of a CX plan and still have four races left before the end of my season Dec 5.
Still completing my workout with my last failed workout back in October 6 due to training fatigue.
Now I don’t change my training per HRV reading but do look at it. As of late my HRV been reading low and not matter what I try I can’t get this thing back to normal.
Google AI recommends I cut my workouts and rest but I want to finish my season.
When I use the Volume check in TR it recommends Two hard workout which looks a bit wild to me.
If I take what’s left of my plan and change it to only one hard workout per week plus my CX race, one per weekend, my predicted AIFTP goes up by one point.
I’m thinking that TR is seeing some type of fatigue in some background data.
I’ve notice that in about my last three CX races they felt like I couldn’t really hit and stay at the higher heart rate but chalked it up to a bad day.
My A race is behind me, for that too HRV was low.
Looking for any input here. I make a big deal of consistency so it’s really hard for me to start skipping workouts.
I was even hoping to do Disaster on Dec 12 
Anyone on TR’s staff, it’s ok to share any findings that you may have on this thread.
Thanks
How do you feel?
Are you doing 2 hard rides and 1 CX race per week?
Yes 2 hard rides plus one race for the next four weeks.
Some weeks it was one hard ride and two races depending on the week.
Has been 13 races so far.
I do have background fatigue but with a season of training it’s the fatigue that you get used to.
I made my calendar public if it helps.
If you still feel decent during them I would not worry.
However with 1-2 hard races I would definitely cut back on the intense training sessions, could try a couple weeks of endurance with the hard rides being your races and see if that lets you feel a bit fresher for them.
Ie limit it to 2 hard days, see how that goes. And trust your feel of recovery/fatigue over the metrics. Just have to be honest about how you actually feel day to day.
