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

Training

I watched the video and thought it was a fair critique.

I’ve commented in the past about how even low volume TR plans have too much intensity - especially if the ramp test happens to overstate your FTP and/or if you are a masters athlete.

Here is the first 5 weeks of LV SSBII:
2 Sweet Spot workouts
4 VO2max
8 Threshold

Sequence as follows:

  • Sweet Spot
  • Threshold
  • VO2max
  • Threshold
  • Sweet Spot
  • VO2max
  • Threshold
  • Threshold
  • VO2max
  • Threshold
  • Threshold
  • VO2max
  • Threshold
  • Threshold

This should be called Threshold base.
