Not sure how you would be recovering if you’re doing VO2! The recovery week goal is to recover not seek a certain TSS.

I don’t stick to the TR plan when it comes to the recovery week. I test on the Saturday following a five day block of 1 off, 3 easy, 1 off. I don’t do anything above zone 2 as I want my body to fully absorb the 3 weeks of prior training and to reset. Take the opportunity to just go out and enjoy the countryside.
