This is a complement to the Sweet Spot Progression thread which is starting to fill with a discussion about threshold and VO2 (or all things coming after one completes an extensive aerobic phase). When deciding how to structure my next phase of training that would come on the tails of completing an…

[image] Derailleur: Then looking to move in to a very similar FTP block as you mentioned. Would you recommend 2 workouts on a 8-10hr week? Yes, two times a week is good. I have done 3x but it was only with plenty of recovery.

My favorite is Capitan, 4x8 min with 2 min rest, kind of in line with what I’ve heard Trevor Connor recommend. Need to work on extending [Screenshot_20231207_062021_TrainerRoad]

[image] Sisheveudysgj: Need to work on extending Definitely. 32 minutes TiZ is only really half of what you probably want to get it to, unless you have a specific reason not to.

Couldn’t bring myself to hit more threshold intervals, ended up playing around in SS. Just a mental thing i gotta get over. [Screenshot_20231208_070031_TrainerRoad]

Are there pre-made threshold progression workouts on a team somewhere to access? Found the ‘More Sweet spot’ team that had all the SS progression workouts, was looking for the same for Threshold workouts. Does it make sense to work through SS progression and Threshold progression at the same time?

[image] The_Conductor: Don’t try to progress sweetspot and threshold together. You’ll end up barely progressing either. Why? I thought it was pretty normal to mix them. In a week with two HIIT workouts, make one threshold and the other sweetspot. I think the new TR Masters’ plans do this, no? …

[image] AgingCannon: Why? I thought it was pretty normal to mix them. I would say that focusing on type of progression is will be the key. Both are aerobic and both can be qualifidied as threshold work. Personally in time when you are focusing on tte and TiZ make threshold work under threshol…

Would over unders be good for gravel event prep? Im thinking of putting them in a month before the event? That with some tempo/ sweet spot progression leading up to the tapering. Just curious how others feel about using over unders, are they better for “build” or event prep?

[image] ChefAcB: Just curious how others feel about using over unders, are they better for “build” or event prep? Sst + 30s-1min bursts are main workout to break the steady riding. I use them all year round. You can manipulate density of bursts, lenght and power. I like to do them as “paced m…

This is a compilation of TR workouts that one could cobble together a progression from. Don’t think you’d really need more

Don’t try to progress sweetspot and threshold together. You’ll end up barely progressing either.
