Hi, I’m use to the three XSS increasing progressive weeks followed by an easier 4th week, sometimes called the step ladder approach.
I’m currently using the continuous improvement plan, and my question:
Is there a setting to allow for this ?
Certainly! You can modify your Improvement Rate to change the desired amount of improvement every couple of weeks if you want.
The 3 week build, 1 week recovery may not be needed depending on your specific training load & improvement rate. Xert will identify whether your improvement rate is sustainable or not. If Xert indicates it’s sustainable, then a ‘recovery week’ may not be necessary. Higher Improvement Rates are likely only sustainable for shorter periods of time.
As always - it depends on your unique training load(s) & Improvement Rate, but you could try something like 3 weeks of Moderate - 2 or Aggressive - 1 followed by a week of Maintenance or Slow.

Thanks Scott, I’m currently on Moderate -1.
So do I do change it to maintenance or slow manually on every 3rd week or can it be programmed automatically.?
