Erjoaqui - Sounds like you've found an error in the book (not sure which you are referring to as I've written 17 books). And it sounds as if you've realized the what the correct scheduling should be - what you discovered when examining the examples (base 1 - 4 BTs, base 2 - 3 BTs). Good luck!

Themuna - I really doubt it as it's difficult to do an audio of a book with figures and tables. Sorry.

michiel - The best thing to do in your situation, I believe, would be to ride a flat course on the days you are to do AeT (z2) rides. That would be near perfect. Steep grades would mess up the intended benefits.

Anthonyjlmorel--Yes, what you suggest is perfect. Good luck!

michiel - It really depends what type of bike race you are preparing for. If it's a time trial then the bike portions of The Triathlete's Training Bible will work fine. But if it's road racing (cries, etc) then it won'y get you ready. Good luck!

Jan Marsal - Thanks for reading my books, Jan. Yes, for draft legal racing you will need to add more high intensity training, especially anaerobic endurance (AnE) workouts. And, yes, group rides with high intensity help to accomplish some of that type of training.

Javier--The next best step iOS to do some Olympic/standard-distance races. I've got training plans for different distances and levels of experience here: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/coach/joe-friel#trainingplans (Be sure to read the "Preview" before purchasing a plan.) I'd suggest waiting until you got at least 2 years of racing under your belt before trying as 70.3 should you decide you want to do longer races. Good luck!

Chveneburo - I'm sorry to say there isn't an e-version of any of my books. I'd love to see that with all of them but not going to happen. My publisher doesn't do them and the tables and figures that the books rely on can't easily be described.

Eamonn--You can pretty much count on FTP being different indoors vs road and with different power meters. Mix the 4 variables and you'll get a wide range of results.

Javier--I'd suggest repeating the last 3 weeks prior to the last week of the plan (weeks 9, 10, 11) until the week before your race when you should do the last week of the plan (week 12). Good luck!

Chris96, Good luck!

Chris96, Yes, that range works quite well across the board for athletes who are able to handle a great enough load. The other problem (which is quite common) is that your FTP is not correct. Again, the best way to resolve this dilemma is to have a coach review your files.

Chris96- There is no established number or range that a second year athlete needs to follow. There are many, many individual differences that determine what is right for you. There is no one-size-fits-all number. It's highly individualized. If unsure what to do the best option is to work with a knowledgeable coach.

Chris96, I don't know, Chris. All I could suggest is that you could possibly handle more training volume. The only way for me to have a good handle on it is to dig deeply into your training so far. I really can't do that but I can put you in touch with a coach who could (for a fee of course). Sorry I can't be of more help.

Javier--Yes, it will feel uncomfortable. The purpose is to help you become used to running with a higher cadence. 75rpm is a bit too low I believe. I'd like to see runners have a cadence in mid-80s. The reason it feels uncomfortable is that you're not economical at that cadence. But economy can be improved with consistent and dedicated practice.

Javier--Yes it is difficult to get a workout when traveling. Most riders, I think, probably rely on hotel stationary bikes. Some may carry their bikes with them if they will be gone some time but can get on the road/trail. But it's a hassle. Carrying a indoor trainer along with a bike would be an even bigger headache. I don't know of any easy solutions but perhaps someone who also shares your dilemma and has a solution will comment here.

CallMeTBone - Are you talking about the 9-day week described in Fast After 50? If so you really can't use the TSS tables for that. Instead you might read this -https://www.joefrielsblog.com/2016/07/the-9-day-training-week.html. Basically, it's doing all of your high intensity/long workouts every third day. TSS won't be neat and pretty as a result. But that's ok as you have to think then in 9-day weekly TSS numbers instead of 7.

Pascaleissler - I don't know of any such books for runners but there may well be some. The principles apply regardless of the endurance sport.

roi joi - Hard question to give a definitive answer to as we're all different. But the bottom line remains that most all of us do this for fun. So include workouts that you find to be fun.

D, Good question. I don't think it makes any difference which you use SO LONG AS the choice works for the training methodology you are using. If you are training based on his workouts etc then you should use his zones. Same for mine--or whoever's training methodology you follow. Good luck!
