A little late to the game here since I didn’t want to say anything until the plan was actually done. Since the new plans were just released & a stage race was just completed I decided to use mid-volume Rolling Road Race to train for my next event: A flattish 50 mile gravel race. My training is in…

Congrats on the race results :trophy: and that nice sub-hour 22 mile loop this morning :100: I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on all the PD Gollnick ‘straight recovery’ workouts earlier this year.

What is PD Gollnick training? Is it part of the new RR plan?

Not TR. See here: [image] Why I failed at TrainerRoad (I think) Training @Gurbe_Willebrords I’m going to just re-hash what the TR ramp test is (which you know, but just for the sake of completeness) mention a couple of papers supporting the notion the among weekend warrio…
