Mostly hard as 10min efforts and then pooling.
Sorry to pry but roughly what would you say your average time in each zone is (thinking seiler 3zone model of below and above ventilatory thresholds). I ask because I’m interested if you keep the same absolute amount of intensity when you drop your volume, or whether you keep the same proportions of high/low but just do less of each?

To best honest it personal. I dropped a lot of volume to help.me out of a fatigue hole I was in, but kept the intensity to try maintain or grow my speed. It worked thankfully. I kept 2-3 sessions at 4x10min a week. I did 4 weeks of that and it was hard.
Another way to look at it is some sort of extended taper.

The best thing I did was to stop training at the so called mythical SS.
All it did was make me good at tolerating that sort of pace for time. But never improved my raw power.
Intestiglt for the past few months I've only done 12h ish a week average. Mostly hard as 10min efforts and then pooling. I'm making more power than ever. But I do have a deep base to draw on and blessed genetics.
