While I love 30/15s myself, Chad’s limitation is he’s writing one size fits all plans meant to work for experienced athletes as well as those totally new to structured training. Taylor -2 is a pretty good intro to VO2max for some folks, but those experienced with the soul-crushing intensity of VO2max work won’t feel the same. It’s really the only weakness of SSB2 LV and MV in my opinion, and is easily remedied by changing those workouts to a different progression. There are a few good options out there… simply subbing Brasted for Taylor-2 might work well for some, others will want to dive right in to 2-minute jobbers like Mills and get to a few weeks of 3 minute intervals instead of just the one.
