I'm guessing the part in red above should be 50 sprint, 50 easy?
Hi coaches... hope this is the right place for this post... week 6 of HIM (12 week, intermediate), Fri's swim doesn't add up. By my calculations, we either do 2900y or 2600m.... not ~3200. This is how it reads:
Swim - 60
Half RR Swim
WU: 500y/m
MS: RR swim, paced as you will do it on race day. Set Total: 2200yd, or 1900m
CD: 200 Easy
Total: ~3200 Record total time and pace per 100m/y
I was confused by yesterday's swim (Monday of HIM week 7, activity 141). This is what was posted:
Swim - 60
Speed
WU: 500 yds/m
MS1: 4 x 200 (30 ), last 50 of each is a sprint. 50 Easy
MS2: 5 x 150 (20 ), last 50 of each is a sprint. 50 Easy
MS3: 6 x 100 (15 ), Negative Split. 50 Easy
MS4: 8 x 50 (15 ), as 25 sprint, 25 easy.
CD: 200 easy
Total: ~3000yds/m
First, my confusion: Were we supposed to essentially do the 50 easy after every 200/150, etc... so in reality we did 4x250, 5x200, 6x150? If that's the case, the total volume for the workout would be 4000m, not 3000. Not including the "50 easy's" into the equation at all, the total volume of the workout would be 3250, again, more than the posted 3000... so i couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do... and formulated my own plan with the time I had.
FWIW - I jiggered it do do the 2d to last 50 of each as my sprint, then did the 50 easy as the last 50... because 4000m would have taken me way too long (the 3250 took me 1:07)...not to mention (as Nemo pointed out), that's a lot for a 1.2mi race.
Hi there! Following up a response I just got in the "need feedback this week" thread. I'm in HIM intermediate. Wed of week 9 has 2 bike workouts listed. The first is a test, the second is 75 minutes of intervals. (activities 1246, 162). The test box (activity 1246) lists 2 test options and says it's for FTP or LTHR... so, reading that I would have assumed, as a HR athlete, I do the 40 minute test (the second test option noted in the first box). Do HR athletes test again?
So either the second bike (activity 162) should be cut... OR, the first block should be edited to say that HR athletes don't test (which is how much test blocks read), removing the reference to LTHR.
Week 9 Intermediate IM plan has wrong time posted for RR Swim ( I assume 90' vice 150'):
Swim-150 Activity #1763
Activity Description RR Swim
WU: 100-200yd/m
MS: Race distance swim at race pace. 4200yd or 3800m. Prefer long course (50m) pool if available. Pacing = only swim as fast as your ability to maintain form. Count strokes to help you focus on form. Recommend sighting 1-2x per 50m, bonus if you can take splits every 500m/yd.
Week 9 Intermediate IM plan has 30' listed for RR run (should be 60'):
Run-30 Activity #1387
Activity Description Race Pace Brick The first 6 miles of your race should be at a jogging pace; for pace athletes, this is your Long Run / Easy Run Pace + an additional 30 per mile. Use these 6 miles to dial in the proper pace, no need to run hard here to test your fitness. Run no more than 6 miles or 1 hour, whichever comes first.
Is there an error on the Saturday and Sunday bike rides for week 4 of the Intermediate IM plan? The beginner and advanced have a four hour ride Sat. and 3 hours Sun., but the intermediate plan is three hours Sat. and two hours Sun. Is that correct?

KEith, I fixed the Saturday ride and added right Sunday ride (3hrs). Will take a bit to delete the wrong sunday ride (2 hrs), FYI. Thanks!

MS1 Set Total is actually 2900 (not 2500 as listed)
Also, it's listed as 60 minutes for 3300 I needed much more than 60 minutes
I just looked...workout seems fine to me. Maybe you are adding in the 400 from the warm up? As for needing more than an hour, all the swim workouts are listed as 60 minutes...we can't get that detailed!
On HIM Advanced- Week 17 - Friday has same workout as Sat? Is this supposed to be a swim or really just a alot of biking?
That bike workout should ONLY be on Saturday, not both days. Friday is swim only. I have submitted the change, but it might take a while to get it done...thanks for your patience!

100 easy

My Bad P - i added the warmup - thanks for keeping me honest.
Intermediate HIM week 19 FRiday swim says half rr swim; MS: RR swim, half of race distance. Set total=2200 yds/1900 m. I am confused about total yds/m if the main set is only half race distance, which would be 1400yds/800 m? So, is the workout half the race distance or full race distance?
HIM intermediate, week 12, - Mon and Thurs swims are the same (code numbers 189, 193), but Mon says it's a 60min workout and shows the workout as 1800m; and Thurs calls for a 30 min workout and says the total is 1600m. I'm guessing Thurs should be lighter?
(also, Mon is missing a word - "easy" is missing at the end of one of the main segments)
BEG IM Plan, Week 9 out of 20, Swim Workout# 1497 says:
MS1: 100, as 25 sprint, 75 easy, 15 rest 100, as 50 sprint, 75 easy, 15 rest 100, as 75 sprint, 25 easy, 60 rest 100 sprint, straight into an easy 50 Repeat 3 more times Set Total: 1600yd
I'm pretty sure that second 100 should be 50 Sprint /50 Easy and not 50 sprint/75 easy (Coach Rich math at work again). :-)

Oh, and Tuesday's swim has the same issue: BEG IM Plan, Week 9 out of 20, Swim WOrkout # 1499
On the Advanced HIM plan, week 17... I assume there are a couple errors, but maybe you'll correct me.
Friday has "final swim race rehearsal" [activity 388]. Now that the Race Rehearsal has moved to week 18, I assume that should be moved to Friday of week 18. (I do not have access to week 18 online version yet.). I would have thought this would be either a normal swim or a 1000 TT, since that's a test week on the bike.
Friday of week 17 has activity 368, a 3 hour bike ride with intervals, which is duplicated on Saturday, and there's a normal ABP ride [activity 1226] on Sunday. I assume you don't mean to pile up all three of those, but maybe I'm wrong!
Comments
Week 15 of the 20 week Intermediate HIM plan has an IM bike (Activity 1837) listed for Saturday as opposed to a HIM bike ride.
Thanks,

Beg HIM 20 week Plan, Week 15 contains the following 3 Swim workouts:
Activity 1154: 3100 meters

Week 16 contains the following 3 Swim workouts:
Activity 1164: 3400 meters
Activity 1168: 3500 meters
Activity 1170: 3300 meters
Call me crazy - but that's a lot of time in the pool to train for a 1900 meter swim on race day!!

Bump..... haven't seen a response. Went ahead and swam anyway.. bike Sat/Sun
No time in activity #1433. For a double check I am on the beginner general prep block 1 week 2 and this is Tuesday's run.
Well it has a time of 0 minutes. the details in the run are there 15' wu 2X1 mile (if I recall correctly) then CD 5'.
I assume that this is 50' total because week one was 45' and week 3 is 60'.
