Dylan Johnson's "The Problem with TrainerRoad Training Plans": it's gonna be a busy day around here

Personally, I would welcome that.

Right now the polarized plans feel very clinical: the warm-ups are always identical, the valleys are at 50 % rather than the usual 40, and the strict 80:20 distribution seems too constraining to make certain adaptations to workouts. I don’t think I’d lose the benefits of a polarized plan if it deviated from these strict numerical values.
