Hardbeck's IMMoo Build/Tweaks

Hey P,

I'm heading into Week 9 of Adv IM Plan.  Just came off of a successful BTD.

Next weekend is booked with work.  Schedule calls for Sat/Sun rides of 4/3 hrs.  Will be trying to get short hard bursts in if/when not working, but can't plan on any long, sustained workouts.

I have the following Monday off, at the start of Week 10.  Was thinking of going a little longer that day, but want to avoid sabotaging the rest of the week's workouts, especially the following weekend's longer stuff.

Can you give me a little help with switching things around the end of this coming week and the beginning of the next week so that I can make the most of this bad (in a training sense) situation?

Thanks!

  • @Chris, first, remember ONE BAD WEEKEND CANNOT ELIMINATE MONTHS OF EXCELLENT TRAINING.

    Okay. I am now exhaling.

    Do the current week as planned. Then do an ABP ride on trainer, whatever you can, on Sat. anything between 60-90 minutes is great.
    Sunday is a Short run, ideally the one from Monday.
    Monday is Saturday's longer ride.
    Tuesday is swim only.
    Wed back at it!
  • Looks good to me.

    There will be one other Call/Work Weekend, about 6 or 7 weeks from now. I'm pretty sure it is NOT on a RR weekend. Assuming I can plug this mod in for that weekend, too. Guess it's possible that you could see that differently. I'll check in with that one when we get closer.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    and, yes, I have the Consistency Bank built up to afford these types of weekends that have to be shortened. My biggest concern was that I'd sabotage the following week by going big on the open Monday, but a Swim Only Tuesday should work great. Why didn't I think of that?!
  • I don't want you to think of it...then you wouldn't need me!!! image Good luck!
  • So, about to head into IM Adv Plan Week 16.

    Need to tweak the weekend's plans cuz I'm on call/work over the weekend (Aug 10/11).
    I'm short hours on Friday, Aug 9, and off on the following Monday, Aug 12.

    Should I just follow the advice you gave when I went thru this before 6 weeks ago?
    Or, since this is so much closer to Wisconsin, should I do something differently?

    Thanks,
    Chris
  • Same advice brother, same advice!!!
  • got it.
