Please let me know your thoughts on my plan modification ideas. What I have done is:
-Move workouts closer by eliminating the 2 day break that happens every week
-Added a recovery period after 3 training weeks
-Repeated the 5th week of the plan twice before the final recovery period at plan’s end to maintain the overall duration of the plan.
My Rationale:
-I seem to recover well from a day’s rest between hard workouts; adding volume from back to back rides does not seem to work as well for me.
-My work schedule does not impact my training schedule, so there is no need to tie workouts to specific days during the week.
-I can handle more volume than the low volume plan provides.
-I’m not as young as I was years ago and a recovery period after 3 hard weeks is beneficial for me.
