I was looking at the workout plans and noticed the Tuesday sessions I have in my calendar (auto populated from SSB mid vII) are different from the ones now showing in the current plans. For example I’m just starting week 4 and tomorrows session in my calendar is Spencer (5x3m IF 0.89) but the week 4 Tuesday session in the workouts menu is Agassiz-1 (3 sets of 3x2m IF 0.92) - a bit harder!

From a quick scan looks like vol I hasn’t changed.

Anyone else seen this?

It was noticed a week or two ago I think. There is another thread discussing it. I think coach @chad chipped in and said they had been slightly toned down but would have the same adaptations/gains.

Yes. There was a thread on the Mary Austin changes, but until just now I didn’t know it impacted the tuesday morning VO2 sessions.

Here is his quote from another thread on the VO2:

> [@Did SSB2 LV change? (Low Volume)](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/did-ssb2-lv-change/6891/2):
>
> Coach Chad did do a little revamp of the SSB 2 low and mid volume plans. Here’s what he said about this change: "All of the Tuesday VO2max intervals have gone from longer VO2max repeats to ‘short-short’ repeats that achieve the same training outcome in a manner that promises a greater level of success. The goal was to make SSB more achievable and bolster confidence going into Build rather than send the message that VO2max intervals are nearly impossible."

Thanks all, I’ll take a look at that thread. Need to decide which workout to do tomorrow now.
