ShortPB HV, what workout/s would you remove/replace for less intensity?
Finished SSBHV 1 & 2 and handled it very well with 100% compliance. Ramp test went well with an all time high FTP. It was only a 6w increase so it shouldn’t have too much of a dramatic affect going into Build. Just wrapping up first week of ShortPB HV and had my first possible sign/warning after Sunday’s SS workout (Tallac+3). Even though I just did that workout 4 times in SSBHV without issue, it was too much today and I called it after starting the 4th interval. It’s the first workout I haven’t completed in over 3 months. Maybe I could have pushed out the last two intervals of Tallac+3 but I’m very cautious about over reaching and want to listen to my body.
So I’m already questioning if some modifications of the HV plan are needed. I can handle volume, but I’m concerned with my ability to handle 3 days of intensity and then capping the weekend with more SS on exhausted legs. If the 2nd week of Build is looking like its too much, I want to be prepared to substitute workouts. Switching to a MV plan, which I’v done 4 times in the past, is not a solution as it actually has more intensity with just less volume.
