This is the most recent example of confusion around the order of training plans in the Base Phase. [image] Training plan order? Training Hello all I am pretty new to trainer road but so far I am really impressed. I am, however a little confused with the what order I shou…

Once again Bobmac you have shown how much of a Gentleman you are :slight_smile: I must say that I have found this forum incredibly useful and friendly with barely a hint of “taking the p*ss” or criticism of others. It is incredibly refreshing after having spent some time on various other cycling an…

Another option is to alter the prominence of the workout plans. Seeing as TR recommend sweet spot base 1&2 for 99% of athletes it would make sense that they should stand out more? I also find the plan descriptions and week tips very useful but some of them, especially the tips can be a little hard …

Have to confess that as a 4th year tr user id only ever done one 6 week block of base and then into build. It was a chat in one of the forum threads where I realised " s@£t there’s two base blocks :see_no_evil::speak_no_evil:"

[image] bobmac: I think the person that we all need to really thank for that is @mcneese.chad . He has done a fabulous job at setting the tone for the discussions. I appreciate the props, but there are many, many others who are also doing a great job here. We all try hard to discuss the core …

I’m thinking more use of comic sans Ok, not really that. But we all know there is confusion over SSB Regardless of where it sits on a list and maybe some sort of emphasis to embolden it to help. That said, it’s probably best if feedback and suggestions are prioritied from those who misread the wo…

[image] Jonnyboy: it’s hard for us to look at things with ‘fresh eyes’ when we already know how they are supposed sequence. Precisely the reason I started this thread. The progression makes sense to me and I don’t even give it two thoughts now. But I know that wasn’t the case for me when I …

I’m kind of bummed hearing some of this. I had a long chat with a live TR employee when I was signing up. I made it clear that I already had some base and was considering going straight into build. He strongly suggested I do a base phase. I agreed because I’ve never done this before and want the mos…

Are you saying you went straight from SSB 1 to short power build?
