I suspect I am over training, but I also think it might be ok? Today I had Dans in the schedule. Dans Recovery • Endurance 1.0 Duration 0:30:00 TSS 13 I went out for a 100km group ride with 1200m of climbing. Just over 4 hours and a TSS of 229. I hadn’t planned to do this, but didn’t know what th…

I question that “junk” miles even exist. One of the adaptations we get is purely from repeated muscle contractions. It’s possible that 3 hours of muscle contractions in Z1 provide a very similar stimulus to 3 hours at a higher wattage but with less fatigue. The term junk miles would imply that it …

I think the real answer is that the TR plan isn’t “for you”. It’s an aggressive plan yes but I would be interested to know if that plan does or does not account for age/training experience and so on. Now at 58 and having a lot of riding experience but less structured training experience, I’m finin…

[image] AJS914: That Fast Talk episode was interesting and it got me thinking. I’ve honestly never done the super slow 100 watt rides. The same exact point came up in the last Kollie Moore podcast. I briefly fired up Fast Talk podcast, skipped around, but don’t have time to listen. What was t…

They were talking about longer low intensity rides rather than a short recovery ride. Connor is a known polarizer. I’ve heard him say many times over the years that you can’t do those long rides too slow. But he’s often talking about 3-4-5+ hour rides. Kolie Moore’s guest said the same thing about h…

You should try them. I’ve been benefitting from super easy hour rides once a week between my workout “blocks” (e.g. my week of: Interval - long ride - recovery ride - neuromuscular/AeT work - Interval - long ride - rest day). Last one averaged 115W for an hour with a 285W threshold. I always feel …

[image] AJS914: Kolie Moore’s guest said the same thing about her endurance rides. She really has to hold herself back. She was talking about riding with her mom as being the perfect solution. If that is the ‘overtraining’ podcast with one of their new coaches, I found that an interesting con…

[image] Craig_G: I found it a weird advertisement for one of their new coaches. “Hire our new coach who is a couple years out of college and has been chronically over training through high school, college and post-college, and only reduced intensity to a level that she could actually recover onc…

Hi Brennus, I think over reaching sounds about right. Before getting Covid, I felt quite good, but tired. Looking back (by the way I’ve made my data public) I think the lack of a recovery week between specialty and going back into build didn’t help. I’d been away for a week skiing at Easter, whic…

Dont forget you can pick a plan and only follow 1 of the sessions each week, and just ignore the others, and AT will just ‘work’ on that session each week in future eg do the LV plan and only do the Tues session and just ride about a bit as you like the rest of the week. AT will look at your Tues se…
