Yeah ageee, I’m happy to stick to the plan and I’d tend to agree, by low effort I mean a session I’d previously have expected to end at max HR I’m now 10-15bmp less.
My thinking was therefor am I being stretched enough was all
GoatandTricycle-
If I have six weeks of vo2 max progression I wouldn’t want to be struggling on the first workout

I’m still finding similar to this, but today doing sweet spot 4x8 mins with 90 sec rest I realised maybe my heart rate isn’t climbing over 140bpm because I’m not doing any more than 190 watts. If this was sufferfest zwift or similar the workout might have some 10-20 sec sprints thrown in which would spike the hr.
After 3 weeks of regular sweet spot on the turbo I’d say the combined load is adding up (plus running, swimming and gym) but I still am incapable of managing to execute the outdoor workouts effectively!

What does that mean?
Low effort etc.
I think you can look at it this way:
You’ve been doing some races recently and you might have also been training.
Stick to the plan a bit longer, I’m sure there is a ramp test/ ftp test coming up.
Your reaction to VO2 work may have changed because you’ve been racing flat out at cross and you’re comparing your past performances on the turbo when you might have been differently trained.
