I have big picture, season planning questions for the Coaches

 Rich,

Thanks for posting my training plan, and it was good to hear your voice again!

You indicated that I should transition to the Get Faster plan on 4/15, from the Out Season plan, to get ready for the Long Course Worlds on 6/3. I want to make sure that I have enough volume in the plan as the distance is 2.5 Mile swim, 75 Mile bike, 18.6 Mile Run, not the typical Long Course. There is a climb in the middle of the bike ~ 2,000 ft over 8.5 miles.

When I originally talked with Patrick, we bounced around the idea that I might need to approach the season as training for 2 Ironman distances with Vineman being whatever happens because it is smack in the middle of LC Worlds and Ironman Tahoe.

Let me know if I should proceed as originally planned or make adjustments.

Thanks and Happy New Year to You and Coach Patrick,

Patrick James

    Hi Patrick, couple of items:

    1. you might want to post this in the big picture forum which Rich monitors.

    2. I too am going to France for the LC worlds and have the GF inserted in between my Jan OS and HIM. From what I gather the GF has longer bike/run than the OS at that time. I have yet to decide whether I will switch to GF for 6 weeks or finish up the OS and just add time.

     Tim,

    Thanks for info. I reposted this in another forum - I think. I selected the link in the email that was sent to me saying to post here for any questions about the plan. I could not find a forum titled Big Picture forum. I'm still finding the site hard to navigate.
