Uh oh. The sweet spot plans (which are time-crunched) might not be super compatible with your keto diet due to their reliance on high intensity work. See this blog post:

> Unfortunately the only way to train your body to improve your ability to use beta-oxidation to burn fat is to do lots of long steady distance at low intensities.

Traditional base with its emphasis on lots of long rides at low intensity might be more compatible?
