Hi Patrick,

This will be the last week of the ebook IM transition plan for me.  Rich suggested I do Week 4 even though I did not do the first three weeks.  Based on our conversation last week and my goals, what plan do you suggest I start after this last week of the transition plan before the OS plan in Nov.

thanks

frank

    Hi Patrick,
    I got your email and the rationale and program look great! I plan on implementing for next season. Rich sent me my season plan and he wants me to start a 'Run focused block' starting tomorrow until Oct 5. Should I use the Advanced or Intermediate plan?

    thanks

    Frank, Rich's plan and my plan aren't the same....or rather, the plan I have outlined in that doc IS NOT THE SAME AS THE RUN FOCUSED PLAN. image That was a super secret squirrel insider link...I think that you can do the run focus but you have to edit for what I have outlined re intensity, etc...cool?
  • fzaffinofzaffino
    Cool, I like being involved in a 'super secret squirrel insider link'! But it looks like your plan starts at 9 mos to race and Rich's run focused plan ends Oct 5 and then I start the OS which is 10 mos to race. Should I do Rich's run focused to the OS then start the SSS training? Also, is GRP the same as my MP from my training zones? Did you get my email with questions about the details in the SSS plan? I may ride with John W this weekend and I can see what he is planning on doing with the plan too.

    thanks,
    frank

    You will still do the OS...I got some work to do. You can start run focused for now....Goal Race Pace is same as your Long Run Pace (Z1, off your vDOT)....I am assuming that you, like 99% of others...complained about it all year then failed to run that pace on race day??? image

    So it's easy, repeatable, etc.
  • fzaffinofzaffino
    Yes, but there were a lot of MP runs in my schedule so why run these paces in training if I cannot even hit my Z1 in the Ironman marathon?? Anyway, have started the run focused and will continue until I hear otherwise. Thanks for all your hard work Patrick.
