Your concluding that after 4 weeks?
Do it for 8 more then see.
How are you doing 350tss off 2.5hours? Not possible
skinny-
True. Last year I was doing 2 or 2:15 on the turbo during the week for ~180 TSS, then a 4 hour weekend ride between 150 and 225 TSS, but not “quality work”.
I injured my hand a month ago and couldn’t work in the workshop (or ride a bike) so decided to bump up the turbo training, 7 hours and around 490 TSS (next four weeks are 550 but fuck that). I’m bored of it now, demotivated by the test and my hand is ok enough that I can’t use it as an excuse to “work from home” and train every day.

Tried four weeks of 7 hours a week on the turbo (up from 2.5ish) - from ~350 TSS a week to 550 TSS.
TR Ramp test this morning and got the same FTP as four weeks ago (actually 1w less). I’ve literally never plateaued before. Always tested higher after a block of training.
Annoying. But I guess it means I don’t benefit from increased training load / hours. 7 hours isn’t really sustainable anyway so fuck it, back to the low volume plans.
