Back to Xert … the thing I like most about Xert is that it solves this problem:
Wanting an “ultra” HV plan option
The system will handle 12+ hour weeks and go all the way up to pro hours. It will also do this in a very flexible way that is helpful for those of us who aren’t actual pros and have other obligations. In my experience it actually makes it easier to increase the hours / load because when opportunities arise you can go for it and not worry about that 90 min workout that was in your schedule.
And yes it takes a while to get your head around it but if you are willing to invest a lot of time training I don’t get the problem with listening to a bunch of podcasts, that is the TR way after all.
