I been using TR for year now and have seen a lot improvement. However I still struggle a lot when completing mid volume SPB1/2 and transition to build mid volume. Usually I struggle within the first few weeks of the build phase. Specifically the VO2 max workouts I can barely finish and most of the t…

I’m not clear which Sweet Spot plans you are doing before build?

Sweet Spot Base Mid volume 1 and 2

[image] dubrose40: Specifically the VO2 max workouts… Do you also struggle with threshold (over-unders) or SweetSpot workouts as well? By “struggle” I mean do you regularly have to bump those types of workouts down in intensity or cut them short? Or is it just the supra-threshold efforts? Wh…

You think Sweet spot > Build transition is hard, try going from Traditional Base 1,2,3 > General Build. It was near impossible! Wow, what a punch in the face that was. :facepunch::tired_face:

I’ve always had more trouble with the vo2 max stuff. I’ve been using tr for 2 years and I think I’m naturally better at the sustained stuff - sweet spot etc. also it’s whatbive done in the past working out.
