Just for clarity, I am the resident forum rat, and not Coach Chad Timmerman (TR’s Head Coach). I know a fair bit about the TR plans, progressions and common recommendations, so with that:
- The typical TR suggestion is to NOT do back to back Build programs. Builds are challenging phases and the idea of two in sequence is generally not a great idea.
The current COVID “I don’t have an event…” suggestion is to do Sweet Spot Base, into Build, then repeat SSB > Build process. There is not a lot of need to do a Specialty, but you are also free to do one for the pure sense of changing things up for your body and mind.
Additionally, you can consider just loading Plan Builder, not setting an event and playing with general settings to make something that looks interesting. Open ended, the PB will likely include a Specialty phase, so it may or may not make sense to try vs just loading single phases as you go.
