Can I adjust general base to meet my interests (e.g, TT)

Hi all. I flirt with TR in the cold months every year. Love the service.

Here’s my question. I’ve finished up General Base I (LV) and I’m about to start stage 2. Is there a way to influence it so that it knows my cycling preferences?

e.g, I’m thinking more and more about getting into some 40K TT’s next spring/summer (northern hemisphere). Can I make TR account for that in the general base section, or do I wait until the build phase?

(Alternatively, I’m looking for resources on workouts I can hot-swap into the general base program to help with TT training!)

I know I can use the plan builder, but I’m not at the point yet where I want to plug in dates. I’m mostly thinking about general structure and compliance through the next 5 months or so (until feb next year).

Thanks!

Thank you! I’m familiar with the Baxter group of workouts, too. Kudos.

I agree with @ivegotabike. Base 1 and 2 are great plans to follow.

Since you’re many months out from any events, I’d follow the plan as is and work on form/riding in an efficient position.

When you get to your Build phase, make sure you’re following Sustained Power Build as @ivegotabike mentioned as that’s going to work well for TT efforts. :racing_car:
