[MENTION=78894]Carbonfiberboy[/MENTION]...so this plan is kind of cyclical in so far as it has me working three hard weeks and then a softer week My CTL goes up anywhere from 3 to 6 in the tougher weeks. As for my ATL, for three weeks it is more than my CTL and week 4 it reverses. So I get three weeks of negative TSB and one week of a positive. I know it looks like a lot but I can manage and am not overly sore or tired. I get plenty of sleep and nap if I need to. I am also on top of my refueling aka diet...lol.

I did a 10 week block of less intense riding also following a structured plan. So all told after 15 years, I have been riding plans for 18 weeks. I have zero data, but not worried. I am good to my body in that if I don't feel like seated low cadence grinding for an hour I will ride zone 2 for 2 plus hours to reach my TSS.
