Follicular Phase Peak Intensity Slot
Follicular phase peak intensity slot places hardest intervals and heavy lifts in early follicular weeks when power tolerance and between-set recovery often improve.
Follicular phase peak intensity slot schedules VO2 intervals, heavy singles, or race-pace efforts in the early-to-mid follicular window when estrogen often supports power output and recovery between sets. Place the hardest session after a rest day, not at the end of a stacked week.
One to two peak days per week usually beats daily red-line work. Pair with adequate carbs and sleep; phase timing supports planning—it does not replace progressive overload.
