I find myself somewhere in between mid and high volume plans. specifically looking at Sweet Spot Base part 2, there is a huge jump from mid to high volume TSS (400->630) and time (6.2 → 10.2 hrs) per week. it would be great if there was an option for “mid volume +1, mid volume -1”, etc that would …

Putting together the plans is a ton of work. So go from three volumes to 5 or 9 seems like a ton of effort for little gain and tons of decision paralysis. I think the answer to your ask is actually the rumored/speculated about adaptive training. It’s not here yet, don’t know when it will be here, bu…

Bear in mind for your example that SSB HV has a different design than LV/MV. So there could be an MV+1 or HV-1, but not necessarily a midpoint between them.

I think the easiest way to handle this is to choose a plan that you know you can do, and then add in an extra ride or 2 each week if you can handle it. I do the low volume plan and then add in an MTB or Fat Bike ride each week all winter (yes, even at -26 C like it is here today…). That’s more than …

I’m going to echo some of the sentiments above, if the TR guys go creating all these multiple levels of plans, it would just lead to more decision paralysis, in my opinion. 3 volume choices is definitely adequate, and I personally think there’s value for people learning how to modify plans to suit t…

What I did was choose the HV plan and then just delete a ride from the week to suit what I was wanting. You could drop one of the weekend rides to get the TSS closer to a MV+1 or drop one of the shorter/less intense rides to get closer to a HV -1.

The latest episode of the podcast (#206) included a discussion on why most people should start with the low-volume plans. I find myself wanting something in between low- and mid-volume. Specifically, I would like to keep 3 workouts during the week but only one during the weekend, so that on the othe…

I think if you are including a random ride with mates every week you need to do your own scheduling. Why not try squeezing LV into Mon-Fri and base your 4th TR workout as complimentary to the outdoor ride to keep TSS and intensity at the levels you need.

[image] How about Low-Volume+/Mid-Volume- plans? Why not try squeezing LV into Mon-Fri and base your 4th TR workout as complimentary to the outdoor ride to keep TSS and intensity at the levels you need. Support this fix. The 4th TR workout can i.e. be based on Wednesdays in the MV plans. You c…

Sure, I can do all of that, but I reckon this is an extremely common scenario during the on-season that this might merit an officially supported training plan. For example, what drove me away from the LV plan was the markedly lower intensity (including in the individual workouts), and I am too much …
