Been toying with moving to a HV plan (probably starting over with Base I or II), but I’m just not sure I’ll have time for 120 minute rides during the week. But I’d like to increase my load to something more than the mid-volume plan and get the TSS above 500 weekly. Currently I’ve just been adding Ta…

This is what I am going to do. Do a +1,+2 version of the workouts where there are one that extend out to 90 minutes on Tues and Thur and to 2 hours+ on weekends. Wednesday will be an aerobic ride for 90 minutes closer to .70 IF and Friday. Saturday I may push out the ride longer with aerobic mile…

Ah, that’s a good idea too. Maybe I’ll look at doing something similar.

Totally agree with the original point. I’d like to see a plan in between mid and high volume. Not all of the workouts in the plans have +1 versions so doing this more systematically would be ideal.

I’d love to see something between low and mid.

You could try the HV plan and use a minus workout when they start going over 90 minutes? That seems like it’d approach what you’re aiming at. Most of the workouts in HV seem to have more alternates than many of the MV (read: overunders) workouts do. I’m partway through the first week of SSB HV2 a…

This is what I did for my base 1, and what I’m continuing into my base 2. For base 1, I took the ssbhv1 plan and substituted longer endurance rides in on my two days off work (Wednesday and Sunday). I kept the sweet spot workouts on the other days, and did Pettit on Friday. Going into base 2, I’m s…

I did some adjusting based on @thebigbadox ’s suggestion and this is what I came up with. Not all workouts have a + variant (as previously discussed) so I ended up having to jump into the workout creator to make some modifications, but overall I’m pretty happy with how the block turned out. I was als…

I do the MV plan and swap out the Tue/Thr sessions and do 90 mins SS or +2 versions of Ebbetts etc - add in Whorl or Andrews/Fletcher plus keep the o/u on Saturday - plus add 2 hours SS Sunday or do a 3-4 hours Z2 ride with friends. Still have Friday off and go to the gym Monday - although that has …

Yeah, that sounds a lot like what I just did for my next training block. I have some work travel coming up in Feb, so I’m hoping to really kick this off at the beginning of March to see how it goes.
