For what its worth when I hit Bashful+2 I had to reduce the intensity. Don’t be too hard on yourself an IF 0.94 workout is no joke.
Stuff like that requires you to be pretty well rested both mentally and physically in my opinion. The stuff below 0.90 for 60 minutes I can be a bit fatigued and get through regularly but thats not the case for Bashful+2.
I am in the boat where I am finding through many VO2 sessions I may be more like a 115-117% FTP for 2-3 minutes kind of guy. 120% (or more) and I will need to reduce or stop early. Much better to get in 60-90 minutes at 115% ftp than 30 minutes at 120%.
The only other thing I would offer is that your 2 reduced intensity workouts were pretty big reductions. Is it possible to see that this is not going well and reduce earlier so that the reduction is not so big?
