  • LOL @ "Wilhelm +5 consists of 7x5-minute repeats at 108% FTP separated by 5-minute recovery" after FTP bump. I think it was better than last time I did this jump, in that I managed 1 full interval and a second one with a pause before quitting.

    I'm not sure how much thought they put into the base -> build jump. Think they should start with either reduced number of intervals or reduced duration for the first x weeks.

    I'll have another crack at the next one and then decide whether or not to bother or just do another 6 weeks of sweetspot.

    I haven’t used TR for a while now and this reminds me why I stopped. I found the jump to be so hard sometimes that I would go into sessions feeling properly apprehensive, which led to general lack of motivation.

    Saying that, this lockdown (and my new pizza oven) mean that I urgently need to get back on it.

    With no races for the foreseeable future, I've given up on the Trainerroad training program, and am mainly doing sweetspot sessions. I might up the intensity in a month or so, but I'd be surprised if there are races this year. Hard to see how you can socially distance in a cross race.
