Hmm, I read to keep intensity during the week, just do less of it and include successive recovery days.
I do Mon Tues recovery (~30 TSS for the 2 days), Wed the usual long ride but climb tempo rather than threshold, Thurs Fri recovery. So that's back to back recovery days twice with my typical long ride on Wednesday but taking it easier than usual. Then weekends would be either a bit easier (~200 TSS combined) or maybe typical (300-400 TSS) depending on how I feel.
