Help me schedule my end of season break

I guess I’ve been slowly moving away from TR plans over the last 12-18 months

Yep I did the same about a year ago and ventured from the nest on my own

@onemanpeloton

’ve started to experiment with more non-TR HV z2 and then only 2 intensity sessions instead of 3.

This is where I was/ am most of the time but I do build the blocks and workouts myself now. This approach is most sustainable for me on 12-16hrs which is where I am normally at now.

Last year I probably neglected intensity a bit too much, did loads of z2 and then found my top end lacking during the race season.

Yep agreed. My z2 experiment was recent but including intensity of some sort was key to me. I don’t have an experiment to compare to without some level of intensity but the results are here if you are interested.

Zone 2 training with Iñigo San Millán, part 2

Not sure where to put this but I know @stino77 has been updating their z2 progress with a z2 focused/ ISM approach so thought I would share having tried to adopt some various things in this and other similar threads. z2, LT1, VT1, ISM or otherwise aside, having just completed by base block with a “z2” focus if I ever needed evidence that volume works (or at least I respond to it) I have it… I did 7 weeks of z2 focus with a weekly Zwift ZRL race for the first 5 weeks, a couple of 3x20 SST @ 90%…

@onemanpeloton

So hopefully I can do 4-6 weeks of pure z2, then 1 SS workout per week for a few weeks, then 2 SS workouts for a few weeks, before moving on to build.

Take a view when you come out of base. My original plan was to do SST but that’s has now changed.
