  • I did a ramp test yesterday and landed at 4.85 w/kg which is a slight immprovement on where I was in the summer at 4.8 w/kg. I ride consistently, averaging 12-14,000km a year and 8-10 hours a week. I mostly ride outdoors or on zwift but have never followed a proper structured plan before, just mix things up with some Z2, ftp efforts, sweet spot and vo2 style intervals. I've just signed up for trainerroad just as a change from zwift and wondering whether if I do a 2 month plan on it I could jump straight to build phase or whether I'd be better setting aside three months for a full base build speciality phase type plan. Any thoughts or experience welcome, thanks in advance

  • See what their AI planner thing says

  • What are your goals?

  • Well, have you had a break then a decent chunk of time riding consistent miles over the winter? Then yeah just jump in. But I think conventional wisdom would you have work back from when you want to be in peak fitness.

    One word of warning, it's probably not the case anymore with all the AI stuff but TR used to really champion loads of sweet spot and when I last used it the 'ss base' had me doing 3-4 sessions of tempo a week which, added to Z2 was kinda mad.
