HI all,
Trying to understand my suggested adaptations. I am on xc marathon plan. half way through week 4. So far I have completed every workout given with a handful at 105%. For some reason my adaptations however keep suggesting easier workouts??? example last week I completed Warlow +1 (threshold 5.0), it was hard but what over under workouts aren’t, never was at risk for not completing. This week the adaptations are suggesting changing warlow +2 (threshold 5.5) to Temple (temple 4.2).
To give a little history I am returning to consistent training after about 6 mo. I crashed pretty hard and landed in the ICU for a week (12 rib fx in 17 places, 2 collapsed lungs, 1 chest tube, broken shoulder blade and shattered wrist.). Over that same time period I also moved from sea level to 7500 ft. I am no stranger to training but have seen a serious drop in my FTP (324 to 247). So not sure if the adaptations are taking my hiatus into account.
Thanks for any feedback
