Nice and thanks for sharing. Athletes like you that have national titles (yours is 24 hour TT, right?), hmm, I’m going to claim athletes like you have some natural talent and will respond well to a lot of different plans. Do you think the Feb 2021 plan updates that reduced intensity, do you think that helped? I’m hoping you have some thoughts between the pre-AT plans and the post-AT plans.
Instead of the Successful Athlete Podcast, I think we need to hear more from the not-that-successful Athletes, people like myself that didn’t respond well to an approach. Why? For starters I’d like to understand the assumptions Coach Chad baked into the plans. I’ve heard him say some things that I can draw inferences from, but no direct statements. Maybe I’ve missed a few key podcasts.
Y’all may find this line of thinking to be negative, and that I’m hating on TR. Put yourself in the shoes of a not-that-successful athlete. Yes I always see some gains from TR coming from an off-season, but I failed to get back to where I was just months before starting the TR approach. Yes that was before AT, but some athletes were killing it on the pre-AT plans.
