IMLP Training Plan/Camp Hack
Coach,
Currently in week 14 of IMLP plan. Will be in LP to ride/run with the camp crew on Fri, Sat, and Sun. (Rode course last weekend on Sat in the rain ... Brrrrr) I know wk 15 calls for 112 mi RR which I am assuming I will more than take care of this weekend for camp.
Two questions:
1. How should I adjust this week to accommodate for this coming weekend's big training block? As it stands right now, I am following week 14 up till Thursday on which I am going to substitute the long run (which I will do on course on Sunday) with two loops of the cable in mirror lake as a swim rehearsal. Then follow camp for 112 on course on Friday, another loop and run on Saturday and a loop of the run course on Sunday. How does this sound?
2. What then do I do for the weekend of week 15? Right now I was going to simply execute week 14's Saturday and Sunday long bikes as written into my post-camp week 15. Only other modification would be to take monday as a rest day after camp concludes.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, or a simple "yes" do that.
Thanks!

You should have gotten an email from Coach P that includes instructions on how to modify your training around the camp. If you did not get it I can forward it to you. And yes, I am counting one of the long camp rides as the race rehearsal. For the weekend following the camp I am doing the long ride I "missed" during the camp weekend instead of the scheduled race rehearsal. I had asked Coach P the same question and that was his response. I think I will take that Sunday off as scheduled - thinking I may need it.
As for swimming, a number of us are meeting at Mirror Lake by the Ironman plaque at 3:30 Thursday to swim.
