Hey everyone! Our first version of Polarized Training Plans are now available to all TrainerRoad athletes. There is a lot of confusion surrounding Polarized Training, so we want to clearly communicate our intent and process behind these plans, as well as what these plans aren’t intended to be. Th…

hi, Finished my HV 6 week polarized training plan i haven’t done all workouts especially the long rides, had some local races, just managed 2 long ones, but the increase estimate was really nice, 1 week some taper and rest, new ftp gain from 270Seated position to 282TT position from (FTP +12 to 282w…

What doesn’t make sense is how POL Base has you doing work for 5 weeks in a row and then resting for one, and POL Build has you doing 3 weeks in a row then resting for one. This has been the case for SSB/Build also but the POL base and build look nearly identical so unsure why the ramp up period is…

Is there anymore feedback on the effectiveness of these plans? I’m going into week 2 but have just seen the new SSB plans and they look good! I’m tempted to stick to the polarised MV because it gives more room to weight train i.e. on the Monday and then cycle on wed/thurs and sat/sun

Finished the 8 week Medium Volume plan last week and did a ramp test Today. Here are some notes. When referring to zones in the notes (Z1,Z2,Z3), I mean polarized zones. Overall thoughts and results: It definitely has felt like there’s been a lack of long endurance rides and truly hard vo2max wor…

Great feedback. Very helpfull for someone contemplating doing the POL plan
