I got this on MV when I checked multiple years in interval training. It worked pretty well :slightly_smiling_face:

I think you would be hard pressed to find ANYONE who has their training exactly figured out. I bet NO ONE does. And if they do, they just think they do (or are lying).

Don’t try and hunt for perfect, hunt for progress. The former is an exercise in futility. I have been doing 500-1000 TSS weeks for years now, race at a pretty high level, and worked with a coach, I NEVER had it figured out and still don’t. I am just trying to progress into being a better rider a day at a time. If I see something wrong with the plan, I change it.

Also, don’t rely on ANYTHING or ANYONE to do everything for you. No algorithm can know how you feel, and can only guess at what you need. A human coach can do better, but it is still on you to make adjustments on the fly.

With the new plans did my first V02 workout in XCO Specialty HV and finally it was a win! Struggled with the VO2 in the first 2 weeks on the legacy plans, but the new workout was hard but attainable. Previous XCO plans had me failing a 5.4 and 7.2 level workouts, which was a pretty high level after abandoning V02 work for 6 weeks (Plan Builder’s idea). Just completed a 5.1 workout and it was spot on! Well done @Nate_Pearson and @Jonathan, you have at least one happy customer with the new plans!
