Oh great! I thought I was the only one! 
Actually I started really great with big increases, but after 4 months I believe I was quickly reaching a plateau. I’ve been on Climbing Road Race High Volume complete program since Feb 2022.
So, you can see, my gaining progress was increasingly lower:
17 watts,
11 watts,
14 watts,
8 watts,
5 watts
And in percentages:
12,09%
7,58%
8,85%
5,70%
2,02%
I admit that the following factors probably contributed to this decreasing gains:
- 16:8 Intermittent Fasting on lower intensity days;
- 2 or 3 weekends with weddings, vacations time-off → no sunday/saturday training.
- A bit of a cold after this wedding weekend #partyHard #tooMuchDancing #heavyToddlers
- Increasing endurance achievable days from 1h/1h30 to 2h/2h30 productive.
- Some knee pains due to bike fit still not on point.
Nonetheless, after reading and listening to other athletes progress on TR on Mid and Low volume, learning about overtraining and plateauing (listen to the podcast on spotify) and also studying a bit about polarized training, I’ve decided to start with the Criterium Mid Volume plan on the end of this endurance week of build phase 2 (really toning it down first) and forget about the specialty phase of my previous plan.
Let’s see if this works better for me 
Actually what I’d really love is to hear/read any suggestions on how you guys think would be the best direction for me to proceed right now
