He just does such a good job scheduling these workouts that I now go into all of them pretty convinced I can do them, even if I go in with tired legs. That is very powerfully positive on a mental level, so I start with confidence & somehow it almost always comes together and at some point during the workout my legs don't feel tired any more. It's interesting.

I also feel 100% ok about the idea of abandoning a workout because I've got this super high training load almost all the time, >100 CTL and most of the time a negative TSB. I don't think I've seen a positive TSB since the beginning of the month. All of which is just short hand for saying that I have tons of volume, it would just be a blip to miss a workout. It's probably a different thing for people with less training volume, missing one workout would be a bigger loss.
