If you were me this coming trainer season, would you do Traditional base 1-3, than sweet spot base 1 and 2 going into a build phase? Or immediately start with sweet spot base 1-2 with the idea of completing it twice before going into a build? I would like to excel at time trials, and breakaways in road races/ crits. Thank you for your thoughts and please feel free to check my past rides if that influences your judgment.
Traditional Base can be a good start in a goal of following it with a Sweet Spot Base. It may be useful for those coming back from injury, illness or a long layoff.
But as mentioned, TB is a better payoff when you can fit in the Mid or High Volume versions.
