I remember the thing with this is in Jan and early Feb? we train harder than usual in order for the players to stay fit and peak after the intensiveness of the trainings drops as more games come as we approach the run in?

It looks like its working out, Messi have been on fire in the last few games (add to that the suspension and rest). Although players like Xavi sseem to be struggling with injury or fitness? A few others have been problems as well.

Overall how effective has the train to peak thing worked out?

It worked well an along the plan in last seasons as explained.
This season, it seems to be going along the plan too, for now. We have really seen a big improvement in fitness from mid february to now. Remember how tired the players seemed and Messi didn't even run in January-February?

In theory, the fitness peak arrives around 3 months after the highest intensity training you did, so if everything works out, we should still improve from now on until mid-may, ensuring a perfect fitness until mid-may/end of the season (CL final 19-may, King's Cup, 25 may).

Let's see if it works.

About Xavi, every player is a different human and can have different reactions. Also, he was a bit injured during the charge phase, so he might have not been able to go through it.
