Hi,

I’m following a low volume olympic tri plan and feel that I could do more bike workouts.
I like the flexibility offered by the LV plan and I am therefore considering sticking with it and adding a third workout when I can (I cannot ride every weekend).

What would be the best approach :

  • replacing the whole week by the corresponding MV plan week when I know I can do all 3 workouts
  • adding the -2 version of the 3rd MV workout to my LV plan
  • adding any endurance workout for easy TSS
  • other ?

Considering that adding workouts to my LV plan will mess with the designed continuous and progressive grind in TSS of the plan, can this harm my progression in any way ?

Thanks :slight_smile:
