Help with Analysis: Drop Volume or FTP?

One option you could try that I’m implementing is swapping the longer Saturday workout with the shorter Thursday workout, if you have the time. I’ve had issues completing the Sunday workouts coming off of Saturday workouts like Mary Austin and Kaweah. So, I’ve swapped Leconte with Lamarck, and hopefully that will allow me to recover adequately to get through the 2-hour sweet spot work. You could try something similar where as opposed to reducing intensity, perhaps changing your weekly structure to move the more challenging workouts to a time where you might be less fatigued going in.

Thanks! I’ll definitely add that to the list of options, especially if the Sunday workouts start becoming tougher to make it through. Also, thanks for the encouragement. I suppose sometimes it’s hard to keep the long-term perspective.
