43 yrs old, TR user starting my 3rd off season of training. I did SSB MV the first 2 years and this year I’m doing SSB HV. I’m only in week 4 of SSB1 HV but I’m coming to the conclusion that High Volume is “easier” than Mid Volume. Still plenty of training ahead to make a definitive statement, but my body seems to handle volume over higher intensity. Also mentally, I enjoy not doing over/unders so early in the training season.
I’m surprising myself on how much sweet spot my body can handle. No matter how I feel or how sore my legs are, I’m always able to push the pedals. Workouts are challenging at times (2 hours of SS), but so far manageable.
