I am currently doing the R2R2R program and am going on the second week of the ME workouts. Last week I did the prescribed 5% body weight for the 30min and averaged 184bpm. My legs definitely felt it but not to the point where I felt they were the limiting factor. Should I make any changes for this weeks ME workout or continue with the prescribed weight progression.
With these or anyone’s stock training plan we do not know who will be using it and their personal level. So we must start very conservatively. In your case you might want to jump to 10%BW. Be a ware that the fatigue may not show up until a couple of days after that training session. You can use the recommendation in our ME article as guidelines. https://evokeendurance.com/muscular-endurance-all-you-need-to-know/
