Looking for input / opinions as I start to build out my plan for next year

Last year I had an exchange with @anthonylane and he wrote out his weekly schedule. I gave something similar a shot and have liked it so much I’ve been doing it for about a year. For me, I found it helped me balance general recovery, acute recovery for key interval sessions, and still keep a high z2 volume. Its: Mon - Active Recovery (basically Lazy Mountain or Lazy Mountain -1), Tues - Intervals, Wed - 1.5-2hr z2, Thurs - AR, Fri - Intervals, Sat - Long z2, Sun - Slightly less long z2. Carrying a little fatigue into a couple of the z2 rides hasn’t been as bad as I initially thought.

Hey, glad to hear you like it. My season has been a bit more sporadic than last in terms of what days of the week I ride. But I’m still really good about building in at least 48 hours of low intensity between my hard days. And my hard days are truly hard. This is because I’m doing more supra threshold work this time of year, but if I’m doing sub-threshold work I can easily go back to back on the days in a more fatigue dependent approach of Hard (ex. 3x20 SS) > Less Hard (2x30 tempo) > Easy (90 min Z2)
