Hey there, I’ve been using TR for a couple years off and on. Have they always had v02 max work starting pretty early in the base plans? I have a race set for end of April and already it’s starting with some v02 work. Wondering if I should swap the session back to SS?
Hey there,
It did indeed seem like something was amiss in your plan. I went ahead and made a couple of edits to get things back on track for you. You should have Sweet Spot workouts on there that align better with what you’ve been doing. Feel free to use Workout Alternates if you’d prefer different sessions than what’s on your Calendar right now.
Let me know if you run into any other issues!
oh interesting! So it was something unusual on the go?
I have a friend who showed me his plan, and it was doing the same for him (same event on calendar as well) - i’ll let him know that he should possibly reach out as well.
Just took a look at the changes, it still has v02 starting December 10th.
It seems my plan isn’t even stretching to my race on April 27th, it finishes and presumably has me peaking for March. Can you take a look at that?
Looking now!
Alrighty, I think we are looking better here!
I made an error in my initial assessment of your plan – by the time you get to week 3 in General Base 2, you do actually start to see some VO2 Max work introduced. General Base 3 will then feature VO2 Max sessions once every week to start prepping you for your upcoming Build Phase.
The VO2 Max sessions you’ll see in General Base 3 generally won’t be as taxing as what you’d likely see in Build as it’s still acting as more of an “introduction” to that higher-intensity work – starting to “sharpen up” that aerobic fitness you’ve been working on, if you will.
I also made sure that the plan now stretches out to your goal event in April.
It looks like you had a Solo Ride get bumped from Sunday to today, so this current week might be a little packed – but I left that Solo Ride on your Calendar since I didn’t know whether or not you were planning on doing it today. Otherwise, your plan is now looking like we’d expect it to!
Let me know how it’s looking on your end – we can make more changes if necessary.
Thanks! Ah makes sense with the v02, I feel that might be a new addition this year. I’ll run it for a bit to see how it feels. No worries about the double solo ride, I’ll move stuff around as needed!
