New to TR. Like many of us, I tend to over achieve. I have consistently picked harder alternate workouts for my first two weeks reasoning “the AI doesn’t know how much I can suffer. I’ll show it!!”
But I worry that while this may help the AI get to know me better early on, continuing this behavior may disrupt the AI’s plan for me and my goals.
Is there a limit to how long I should try to “one up” the assigned workout and just execute to the plan?
Thanks!

I’ve done it a few times as I think PLs can degrade a bit fast at times. One extreme example is if you’re doing LV, take a recovery week, and the first day back of your plan (previously ramp test) is of a different workout type to what you’d normally have on that day. This can give you multiple weeks outside of a given zone and decay the PL even if you’ve been using it in outdoor rides (workout levels v2, where art thou?)
Anyway, picking a harder alternate and answering the survey appropriately always seems to work and kickstart things back into gear.
