Been following TR mid-volume plans for several years, listened to most podcasts, etc. I have a pretty fair idea of what’s what.
For last three years, focused on gravel events, I’ve been doing Sustained or General build, and Climbing Road or GF specialty. Time and again I get into Builds, complete most workouts, yet make no FTP gains. I keep hitting the same plateau around 3.6-3.8 W/kg.

Sleep is reasonable
-
Recovery feels good
-
Doing some strength work
-
Paying attention to fueling
-
Threshold workouts are usually fine (still hard). V02 kill me and require dropping intensity.

Coach @chad often says if you’re not making progress, something needs to change. I’m thinking maybe I switch to Short Power Build? Not because I’m doing short power events right now, but because I maybe need shifted training stimulus to grow. Thoughts?
