Plan Builder Flaw HV: Base -> Build -> Base -> Specialty👎

[BCrossen]

@MI-XC

Since SSBHV has 0% of efforts above SS, I was concerned about how Specialty would go

I didn’t know this about the HV plan. The SSB2 for LV and MV both have work above threshold, and some VO2 intervals get introduced in the second half of those base plans. I get from a volume standpoint why they wouldn’t add them for HV, but really there should be some kind of introduction to get that system primed for build.

I’ll also note there are a couple posts from TR folks this past week indicating there are plan updates actively in the works, so it is possible your request is already in the hopper.

@jjmc

I was surprised to hear them say at one point recently they did sweet spot high volume because it was requested and not because it was supported by science.

Nate actually responded to this comment in another thread around that time. Here’s what he said about that statement. (side note: the search function on this site is incredible.)

AI Training - Will it work?

I would say based on a very educated hypothesis. I just sent this message to Chad and he regrets the way he said it. [image] Also, we have commercial interest in making you faster. That’s how we make money. I would say our interests are aligned with TR athletes.
