Is there enough stimulus in CJ?

Hello.

Outside of your values, your situation was much the same as mine.

I leave you this link in case you want to take a look:

My experience with Trainer Day so far

I would like to take the audacity to share my experience with TD, especially with Coach Jack so far. But first I am going to put in context for those who will take the time to read this so that it can be better understood. I am 42 years old, with a wife and a daughter, I work full time as an engineer and one week a month on night shift, so I am an average person with daily responsibilities and inconveniences like any other. I have been training consciously for about 6 years and like any other …

After that block I’m not sure what to do. I built a serious Itialian 8 week block which would put me at beginning of race season, but the workouts didn’t seem that hard and stimulating for the hard days.

So, my concern with CJ is will there enough stimulus on the hard days. I have a better grasp of not going into the red too much, but also understand progressive overload makes gains.

From my experience, which is based on experimenting and testing, with some reading about training (I clarify that I am very far from professional coaches) I have found that what really makes you fast is training in Z2. You don’t need hard stimulation all the time, once a week is fine.

Not all people feel good about the same training and I say this because for some reason you didn’t continue with TrainerRoad (just like me ). I realized that it is not necessary to suffer training to improve. In fact, I reached my peak of form (4.33 W/Kg coincidentally the number you want ) with Coach Jack, which I never could with TR.

I can only tell you that you must try, stick to the plan, be patient and measure your progress. If you notice that it is too soft for you, you can modify the intensity, the advantage of CJ is that it is very dynamic and adaptable.

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.
