1/2 Marathon on Sunday

Hi Coach,

I have a 1/2 marathon this Sunday and it says in my plan to do a 5k test on that day.  Should I do the 5k test on Saturday the day before the 1/2 marathon?  Also, after 1/2 marathon I will be transitioning to train for my 1/2 Ironman in July 7th and then the big Challenge 140.6 is on August 25th.  Should I load up the 1/2 IM plan and switch to full IM plan after I finish my 1/2 IM, or just load up the full IM plan after my 1/2 marathon and use the 1/2 as a training event. Thank you! Linda Johnson

    Linda, race the half and we can use that result. Note you might have to cut Saturday's workout short just to make sure you are ready to race Sunday at your best. Monday is off, Tuesday is light swim, Wed is back on a transition plan (load to end on 5/26). Then on 5/27 load the IM plan to end on race day in August and we can talk about that race week a bit later (for the half!).
