I find the workouts challenging but they seem to fall inline with their intensity (achievable, productive, stretch, etc). It seems that the progression levels react as you’d expect along those lines, but for fitness I should just be “validating”, fitness I had as early as 30 days ago I figure those progressions would align with increases in FTP. At least, back to previous form.
I mean if I’m putting what seems like as much effort or more than the plan dictates and the outcomes are as marginal, maybe I need to find additional training.
