I CAN’T :weary: TAKE IT :exploding_head: ANY MORE!!! :sob: I completed SSB1+2 and SusPowerBuild. Just starting SSBHV2 with SPBHV planned after that. I cut short the first two workouts of SSB because the Blue Blocks of Doom have finally cracked me!! Frankly my dear, I can’t take another FOURTEEN …

“Just because you have 30 hours to train it doesn’t mean you should train 30 hours” coach @chad High volume is freaking hard! Doing two whole base fases back to back is not advised. You have set yourself up to fail. Do a build fase then specialty and fill the gap to your event with maybe another sp…

If I’m repeating SSB after doing some solid blocks already I spice it up a bit. Add some workouts form the next build I plan to do every now and then. Maybe even a full week of it if I have time. Swap some weekday rides for a Zwift race or something. I need to break it up as well. I know you can mak…

As mentioned, what even are your goals? You mentioned your A race is a TT in another thread (when is that?). As far as I know from other threads, you completed SSBLV and removed all of the rest weeks. Then went onto build, or did you do more sweet spot in the middle? I feel like, from the few post…

Reset with a week or two of easy riding and unstructured play. Restart with a MID Vol plan and FOLLOW that plan with NO modification. Coach Chad knows what he’s doing. You should not be making modifications unless you get good guidance and/or have good prior experience to know what the outcome is …

This says it all from @SomeCallMeTim in that thread… [image] Should I Increase Volume? I am going to be very blunt here and say that even with current volume, you’re on an express train to Burnout City. The journey will be spectacular, but will end in tears.

CAPTAIN DOUGHNUTMAN! For your blasphemous comments I sentence you to one week completely off the bike & hard Tour Down Under watching. Don’t come back until you can get your mind right. :neutral_face:

At least you know your limit now right? That’s something that you gained from this next to your FTP raised. Sure the situation now sucks, but some people learn more from experience than from theory. You can use this knowledge for the training plans to come. Rest a bit, perhaps go outside and hav…

BURNOUT RECOVERY I would not even look at your trainer or bike for a week. Maybe even completely remove yourself from all things cycling related and have fun elsewhere. If you run already, I’d do that expecially if you can get into a nice nature trail to clear the mind and soul. Then when, and ONLY…
