So I’m 52 this month and have been following structured training on and off for at least 15 years. Most coaches say no more than 2 “hard interval days/week” Plan builder gives 3 in mid vol plans (I’m doing climbing road for Wilmington and SBT GRVL). Add to that 2 days of SS and one short Z2 on Wed…

I’m in the same boat. I followed fascat plans, and found that i could much more easily cope with the high TSS on their plan than similar TSS on a MV plan on TR. With the imminent advent of AT, and having had a bout of Covid, I decided to switch back to TR. MV is working well for me, with the cave…
