I managed 1 full interval and a second one with a pause before quitting.
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.
TTM-
Yeah, definitely went into this thinking "no fucking way, but I'll give it a crack" but at the same time I wasn't angry when I failed it. If I fail the sweetspot stuff that I've been nailing I get proper shitty :)
So, I'll give 'Fang Mountain +3' a go and make a call based on progress. If it's fucked, I'm going back to base sweetspot - it's more useful to me anyway considering I never go near VO2max in racing these days. Although I'm reading PJ's Corinthian Endeavour at the moment so now I want to race a hill climb again... if only to remind myself why I don't bother.
hippy
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.
