Yeah, that's what I would have thought too. I'm doing the second phase of a base-building plan from Trainerroad.com. I think the reason for the high intensity is the low volume (only 3.5 hours per week). But, until now, "high intensity" has been mostly sweet spot and tempo. Now it's getting into FTP (threshold?) intervals, and it's a bit of a shock to my system.
