      I am on week 8 of your ex build race plan.

      Had my first XC race of the season and was happy with the result.

      (1) Yes, you should be concerned with a drop in your FT test numbers. It tells you that you are not recovering as quickly as the plan is designed for. This means you should consider dropping any high intensity workout off your plan when you are not ready for it.

      (2) Really you should complete the rest week as you are currently fatigued. There is no racing in a rest week. If you are committed to racing on Sunday then repeat the rest week #8 next week but move the test to the weekend.

      (3) At this point I would advise dropping things off the plan to make sure you are not over-training rather than adding in more.
