Just take an eaisier few days when you need, don't plan it. Lives are fluid and by planning in a week easy, you might then find the next week something goes tits up and you loose that week, so you actually have 2 easy weeks. If you're not training 1200+ TSS weeks, you won't need an easier week. 2 days should be enough to bounce back from most things. Just see how you feel.
Yeah you need to include the TSS from it, as it does include fatigue, just realise it's not good training, unless you live in the countryside and have non traffic commute.
TSS isn't the be all and end all, quality structured sessions are. Sticking to a plan too much can also cause you to over do it. So just exercise caution.
Yeah tempo is good, but don't hammer it. And don't hammer it too soon. Summer is still a long way off.
Do you mean complete weeks off? Or every fourth week in the cycle where TSS is reduced?
Maybe so, but it does cause fatigue. So, should it be accounted for in the plan?
I'll try. I do find it useful though as I have a history of overdoing it and injuring myself and this way I can stick to a plan that hopefully will keep me in check. That's one of the things I was asking really, is the planned ramp rate ok or too conservative?
That's the plan. Lot's of this.
Cheers for the time
