Forgive me if this is already discussed, but I am trying to decide whether I should attempt two fitness peaks, one in March, the other in September- or, to only have 1 peak in September.
I currently have the 2 A events in plan builder, and have completed the base & build already, and about to start specialty- however, I am considering switching the first A to a B.
I’m wondering if the extra base & build all year long will raise my FTP that much more for September.
I am on the Crit plan if that helps.
Thanks everyone! Happy to provide any other details if needed to help advise me
Generally you wouldn’t want two A’s within like 2 or so months of eachother if you really want to peak. So with 6 months you’ll definitely be good. If anything, having that first A event will give you something to shoot for in the shorter term, then give you a small reset and the ability to learn from any mistakes either tapering for or during it that you can change for the second.
@brendanhousler Tour of St Louis, and then Gateway Cup. With plenty of B races in between. I generally skip Tulsa because it’s just too big… plus the heat absolutely kills me
