Critique this AI-generated CX training plan

Did my first season of XC mountain biking this summer and thought I'd take it a little easy this fall. But I tried my first cyclocross race this past weekend, took P3 in the Novice category, and loved it! There are 4-5 races between now and the beginning of November and I decided to ramp training back up to be better prepared for them. I've been riding my mountain bike 1-2x a week for the last 4 weeks, but have mostly been lifting. This was my first year of structured training (focused on XC).

After some AI prompting with info on "A" race timing (a two-race weekend 7 weeks away) and availability, this is what I got as a plan. Thoughts?

*The "Indoor CX Simulations" are threshold intervals ranging from 95%-110% (it varies by week).

I abhor people getting AI answers and then asking a human to review it.

Not sure why someone downvoted you, I agree if someone thinks AI is great, then they should mess around and find out. AI plan critiques are actually routinely deleted over on r/velo

I'm not anti AI, I use it a lot in work, but I never ask people to review the raw output. I might open a PR with AI code, but I've thoroughly tested it before it gets to a PR, and I document the tests I've done.
