I ended up adding another recovery week in my SSB 1 & 1 MV series this year. I used a 4/1, 3/1, 3/1 Work/Recovery week layout this season as compared to the default 5/1, 5/1. I did this as I had issues last season, especially in the SSB2 section and was super fatigued.
My run with the modded SSB worked well for my schedule and 45 yo body. I have a more lengthy write-up in a separate thread.
