TR Guidance: how to choose between BASE and BUILD?

I’m not saying this is true for you, but I think MANY new riders choose not to do Low Volume because “low” is a bad word. They also don’t want to do Base because it sounds below them. (Personally, I am guilty as charged)

My advice. Trust the system. Many of us would benefit from just doing the Low Volume versions of Base, Build, Base, Build, Base, Build over and over and sticking to the plan, being as close to 100% complaint as possible. Trying to do too much too fast is far worse than doing a bit too little. You’ll very likely end up overtrained, burnt out, injured, or sick, or as others mentioned, skipping all the workouts where the “magic happens”.
