What is the optimal way to progress sweet spot duration? Assume the cyclist has completed a couple seasons of structured training and is just coming off their current season and a couple week rest period. In other words, stating the base phase for the upcoming season. 3x12 > 4x10 > 3x15 > ? > ? > ? …

The video is titled how to get in the best shape you’ve ever been in: block periodization but on the “first page” you’ll se it named as “high risk high reward training”. He also shows both which high intensity workouts he did during that first week and his training weeks after.

What I’ve read of this thread has been very insightful, so thanks to people who’ve contributed. I’m coming to the end of SSBHV2 and I’m thinking about what to do next. The Plan Builder says Sustained Power Build, but I wonder whether I should do something different. I’m also going to be riding a l…

Are you planning on racing this summer? If so, when is your A-race? And what is your A-race (TT I presume?)? :slight_smile:

Know that CTT calendar is a bit up in the air, but have you got anything you’re particularly targeting? Likewise, was there a particular limiting factor you felt at all last season (pacing, ‘surges’, position, comfort, equipment, etc.)? I think I’ve realised the last couple of years that once your…

@TheFatSagan 100m TT in June; 10m TT in August. Few B races between Apr - Sep, and some Club 10s sprinkled throughout. @jackkellam Last year I only executed two really good races; a lot of the others were erratic. I definitely didn’t spend enough time outdoors on my TT bike in position. I’m hoping …

[image] markbrouns: Since we are talking avout VO2max. Does anyone have experience with block periodization (first week 5 VO2max WO, next 2 weeks 1 vo2max WO rest of the sessions is low intensity)? @4ibanez has experimented with modifications. Lookup the details starting here: [i…

[image] RONDAL: [image] image1672×788 86.4 KB [image] michaelfrommelbourne: Work intervals at 95 – 105 per cent of PRP for weekly TiZ of 10 – 15 per cent of weekly volume. For ~10 hour week that would be around 60 to 90min of intervals. So @RONDAL maybe 2 days of intensity would be e…

IMO your lucky to have the 100m TT before the 10m TT! :slight_smile: A race that long doesn´t have the same requirements on being able to perform in your higher zones (read: above FTP). Hence you could continue base training all the way up to that race, focusing on SST progression, really extending…

There are several races on the same course, but the one in August usually has the fastest conditions, so makes sense to aim for that :slight_smile: What sort of SST progression would be best? I’ve done Phoenix +2, Polar Bear +1, Galena +3, etc. I’ve read a fair amount of this thread but not all of …

This may have been posted in here before, but what portion of your extensive phases are FTP and what portion is SS? I did a SS extension block a few months ago over the course of 5 weeks: 3x20min → 2x30min → 1x60min → 3x25min → 2x35min → 1x75min → 4x20min → 1x90min Now I’m looking to do this agai…
