Hi my coach have assigned a session with 7x 10 30/30s.
It seems kinda crazy to me to do a session with a total of 35 minutes in zone 5/6 in december
Especially given that my first race is not before start of April…

wow that’s a lot! What have you done previously?
The previous weeks it has been one HIIT session per week:
Week 1:
6x8 30/30s
Week 2:
4x9 30/30s
Week 3:
4x5m z5 for the sake of variation
Tommorrow i am doing 4x7 30/30s
And next week it has assigned the 7x10 30/30s

Tagging @Prof here, as he is the best in biz when it comes to HIIT. I am not sure how the algorithm is working here - I assume rest of the week is taken into consideration when assigning #sets and reps…?
You are already on a high level, but going from 4x7 to 7x10 is quite the jump. I always try to trust my gut feeling - if AI is giving me substantially higher load than previously - I am trying to understand why first, then try to think what would make more sense. Going to 70 reps from 54 your max on week 1 is too much. I would maybe go back to 5 or 6 x 8 next week.
You did 54, 36, 4x5min, and then 28 tomorrow… 70 is too much IMO.
Sounds like you did listen to your gut feeling and posted here for advice!

Yeah, Even though I am confident that i could complete the session I do not think it is wise. It would probably make me too tired and therefor ruin the rest of the training week.
I most likely will end up doing a bit less and add some more time to one of the endurance session to add up for the missing load/tss.

100% you do not want to tank yourself with that monster session. Trust your gut and report back here if you see a big jump like that again.
