Disregard....I ended up doing 80 on the slice...and felt great...even better than yesterday....same pace...similar watts...lower HR....even I had left earlier I would have done the full century but I needed to be back by 5pm...no problem either day!...long run tommorrow then recover....
Okay...just keep writing to myself...LOL...Easter and Boston...I understand...hope you had a great Boston trip...my favorite course....
You can read the thread below...had a good Camp Weekend...but I did Friday Swim/Saturday Bike/Sunday Bike/today Monday long run...per the holiday weekend hack...feel great!
My question today is...am I reading the schedule/plan properly (from camp week guidance..and so note I am doing week 16...camp recovery week this week)...am I supposed to go Monday Camp Week Long Run...Tuesday Off...Wednesday Off....Thursday Another Long Run???
I'm planning on Tuesday Swim (Easy just in the pool swim as I feel)...Wednesday Easy Spinning Ride...Thursday Run...but I'm thinking 90min....not 135?
Sorry!! Just keep the run to just 90 minutes, maybe up the effort for the last 15 to 20 if you feel good… Then Friday through Sunday as written. nice work! :-)
Hey Patrick...congrats again on your Boston jaunt....nicely done....and thanks for getting back to me on the run...I was biz traveling...so my post camp week went like this....Monday was the 15miler to finish of camp week...Tuesday OFF...Wednesday was swim because I wouldn't have access on Friday....Thursday...a sweet 13mile/95min. run along the lakes in Minneapolis...I can't say the legs had snap...but I certainly felt better than expected...Friday I got back in time to do a one hour speed session on bike....Saturday will be long ride...Sunday may be a Swim + Run rather than a ride....tbd.
My question has to do with my upcoming week....which is schedule week 18 leading into final RR on Saturday...all good there....however...because I am one week behind..ie. I backed up my RR#1/camp week one week to accommodate weather/conflict...I did not have a week 17....which would not be an issue because I never bike test this late in the schedule...but week 17 also features the peak long run....soo....while I'm not overly concerned about my run....I was wondering if I shouldn't extend the week 18 run to at least 15 again (probably 2:00-2:15 time) rather than the shortened 1:45 on the schedule?...thoughts.
Also....do you know anyway to duplicate the chart that used to be available in WKO...that put your time in power zones in a graph...so you could do an estimated FTP off of your real riding?....I don't see that or how to create that in Training Peaks....
I'm thinking of pushing the watts a bit as a test in RR#2?...thoughts on that?

(UPDATE...I rode 3hrs)
My question has to do with my upcoming & following week....
First is my upcoming week which is schedule week 18 leading into final RR on Saturday...all good there....however...because I am one week behind..ie. I backed up my RR#1/camp week one week to accommodate weather/conflict...I did not have a week 17....which would not be an issue because I never bike test this late in the schedule...but week 17 also features the peak long run....soo....while I'm not overly concerned about my run....I was wondering if I shouldn't extend the week 18 run to at least 15 again (probably 2:00-2:15 time) rather than the shortened 1:45 on the schedule?...thoughts...
Second; the following week...I have some business travel which will require some schedule juggling/hacking/adjustment...I'm hoping not a big deal as it will be taper
I will be in NYC for seminar on Monday & Tuesday making swimming not possible....so first of all I will probably swim on the scheduled rest day post RR Saturday....then Monday swim is out...I can run in the evening...Tuesday swim is most likely out...I can run in the AM or PM again (some guidance on time/pace on these would help)....Wednesday morning is available to swim or bike? which is preferred...Thursday no swimming or bike available...I can run....Friday...I fly back and can most likely swim in the afternoon evening......weekend is no issue Saturday bike....Sunday is scheduled off...but maybe I should swim again?....any thoughts here will be helpful....
Also....do you know anyway to duplicate the chart that used to be available in WKO...that put your time in power zones in a graph...so you could do an estimated FTP off of your real riding?....I don't see that or how to create that in Training Peaks....
I'm thinking of pushing the watts a bit as a test in RR#2?...thoughts on that?..thanks
Thanks for the update, I think you're right on track. You can certainly extend this weeks long run but only 2 hours and that's it. We have to balance the work you want to do, with our ability to handle it and recover in time for race day.
I believe the chart you're referring to is a power distribution chart, typically for the last 20 days. It just breaks down your FTP time across those workouts. I don't have it in front of me, nor am I a user of the new version of Peaks. You might be better served by going to the power and pace forum and asking for help.
As for pushing the Watson number two, absolutely. That's what it's therefore! Just remember to nail nutrition & fuel as well. :-)
Is there someplace to get the details/logistics/maps of the Blue Ridge Parkway Camp Rides....I'm considering a personal camp there sometime next month...would like to have some guidance...Where did you base out of?...any ride maps available?..etc.
Also...as discussed I have been doing weeks 5678 of the Get Faster Plan ...then will Load 12 weeks Race Prep for IMLOU....this week my hip has been Twingy...and thought I would give the run a rest...any problem with that?
Second;...I start my new job on June 2...and will probably be traveling to Chicago that week for Intro etc....so no bike and swim is iffy...will be a Run Focus week for sure....my thought was to go bike and swim heavy next week leading into that?...can you give me an idea what that might look like from a workout standpoint?...
Please read the three notes below; all combined...thanks...
This is a swimming question- I could post in forums as well...but your comments would be appreciated...so these past two weeks I have dropped my swim volume back down to 2-2.4k per session from the 3-3.6K I was doing in race prep....and maybe not surprisingly my 100 times have come down...but heres the question(s)....I have been focusing on form and doing shorter sets (50's, 100's, 200's) my /100 timehas dropped back to the 1:49-1:52 range (and coming down)...during the race prep phase my pace had dropped to the 1:57-2:02 range....and I felt my form had deteriorated....as I transition here in the get faster (next 3-4 weeks)...to the IMLOU race prep...how do I increase my volume without having my pace drop off?...is it better to go faster with good form and allow additional rest between repeats/sets? or slow down and shorten the rest...my trade off is 1.) I don't have a feel for different gears in the water...and as the length of sets increases 300-400-500's...and I try to manage that...my form seems to go to heck.....thoughts on how to manage this?
Hope I got this edit in before you read/started to reply-
Per our discussion; I had loaded up the Get Faster program to end in 4 weeks then drop into IMLOU prep...
I'm thinking of this -
Next week I have off before starting new Job...(also as noted below I won't have bike access the following first week in June)...so thought I would do a Big Bike Volume Week....(13 weeks out from IMLOU)
Then ...I am attending the Macca Challenge AC camp...last week of June (Wed-Sun) so will make that a Big Tri/Camp Week (This will be about 8 weeks out from IMLOU
Does sound good?

JCL - I have an info sheet I can send you stay tuned. Always ok to rest the run...do it. No bike heavy, swim daily or as close as you can. Bike as planned. Minimal running that week then a consistent 40? 45 minutes a day out there.
Your experience is very common. I think you should keep things shorter until the last 4 weeks. So 100s maximum. Example: 400 becomes 4x100 on 5" rest. Or a 1000 could be 3x100, 400 steady pull, 3x100.
Thanks Patrick...it was great to catch up with you; all of this seems workable and right in my head...
Two things that I want to try and get a handle on are:
1.) (my thinking here)...my achilles has been twingy since last October...and while I did do "speedwork" in the OS....mostly on the TM because weather was so horrible...I also ran most if it at Z3/4...and then in Race Prep...mostly Z2 stuff...I feel like a.) I have gotten decent at running Z2...but lost my top end....and b.) my stride has gotten short & choppy and my hips feel very tight....I think this is artifact of shortening my stride to accommodate twingy achilles and the increased bike focus/volume in race prep...Now that my achilles is beginning to feel almost normal (able to almost walk with no twinge in the am, able to do toe raises & one leg hops)....I want to try and add back in some speed....and think I need to start with some shorter intervals....so for the next 4 weeks....instead of 2-3xmiles on Wednesday runs....do you think I could/should break that back up into 400-800's?....Is this a stupid idea to try and rebuild some speed right now?....danger of reinjurying etc. v result upside....I think that the absence of top end running has contributed to the shortened stride too?....I know....that were strides help...right?....
2.) I'm also considering going back/too the 2xlonger bikes with FTP sets on T&TH...and Single Long Ride on Sat...Long run on Sunday....Do you think this is okay/works? and if ok...what is the target total time/intensity you think is necessary or works with that schedule...(ie. 90 min with x @z3+-z4? on T-Th and 240+ on Saturdays?) is there a total target time/volume or total time/time at intensity target for the week?)
Or is it may be just easier to stick with the plan as written and stop trying to hack at it..
also Gonna try and make the Shoot Out Ride.....is that tri bike? road bike? or any bike?
Hi Joe, Sorry to hear about your crash. Broke mine in 2011 while training in LP. Based on my experience(and the pic you posted on Facebook), you'll find some surgeons will suggest plating while others probably won't. My break was very similar to the pic you posted, and I opted for the plate (and 9 screws). I have not had the plate removed and I almost never even notice/think about it. I had surgery 4 days after my crash, and felt better almost immediately. Before the surgery, I could feel the bones moving/rubbing just from breathing while sitting still. After surgery, I was walking briskly within a few days, riding the trainer at 2 or 3 weeks and started running within 4 weeks. I crashed in May, and completed a 70.3 in September. Good luck and heal quickly! Greg
JCL - I know you want to be like me, but this is too much. Holy WTF. So sorry. Step one is figuring out surgery plans, etc, and then we do recovery and have you back on track. I had surgery in August (plate in) and late November (plate out) but now I am S/B/R at full strength, even swimming. Your fitness is your biggest asset for sure. Keep me posted!
hey Patrick....well yeah,,,then 9:30 part...this sucks...and to top it off....my mom passed away yesterday...I'm in Barrington until Monday or Tueday...was at Blue Moose for lunch today...anychance of catching up over breakfast/coffee or something?
Man I am so sorry to hear that. I had meetings today but can finagle a later lunch tomorrow. I'll text you on the new number now. Again, my condolences.
I think I have some blog posts up on my personal blog (see signature, search last year). Fist week was sleeping and drugs. No lie. Then I was active around house - one-handed chores, etc. Then I started walking after 2-3 weeks, hikes, etc, once I had confirmation that the wound was closed and healthy. I also started doing rehab exercises in gym on the three days I didn't have PT. At the 8 wk mark I could sweat again and was on road bike/trainer.
I'm most interestedin your lifestyle book...Train to Live...I'll be back up in Barrington for at least two long weekends or a full week in August...could catch up with you then?
Hey Patricks; congrats on the awesome result at IMMT!...I am inspired. I will be up in Barrington this week..Wed-Sunday. Would be great to catch up if your available...my schedule is pretty wide open. You can e*mail me or txt to 267-247-6832.

Well okay- you're probably basking in glory & recovering out on the Cape...Anyway- what I wanted to discuss aside from just catch up was a plan forward coming out of the sling....currently I'm recumbent bike & elliptical, and dog walking alot....all is good... but really giving alot of consideration to how weak and imbalanced I am in Glutes & Core strength....and how that, along with so much bike v run quad dominance, has really caused me alot of issues not least of which are poor running and weaker than expected bike power...now I know I have made progress but honestly...I have been performing well below my innate physical capabilities.
So coming out of this injury I want to get back to some basics for awhile...thinking General Prep kind stuff...but am most interested in a well developed Core & Strength component that I was hoping you might help me design/build.
PS- interestingly I was talking to the TTBikeFit crew and Lisbeth commented that this was something you had taken seriously and done as well...so thought it was fortuitious...
I will come out of this situation stronger and more balanced than ever.
Jcl - great to see you today...I am around for sure, free tomorrow between 11-2:30. But that said, yes to the basics. It's hard to do a lot of the core with one arm....so the rehab is slightly more important right now...we'll talk in person!
Sorry brother crazy Friday as dishwasher blew up and we were hosting party on Sat. Never a dull moment!! The core strength stuff wasn't anything fancy at all....I use the resources in the wiki. The only difference was I did do some TRX for a few weeks as well until that guy got a little to crazy on me.
Right now it's all about resting and rehabbing that shoulder area. Long hikes and walks are good for your mind and soul. Once you are well into PT we can talk about planks and lunges, etc, but right now it's not in the cards. It's hard but know that this forced rest is actually good for you long term, I swear!

Disregard....I ended up doing 80 on the slice...and felt great...even better than yesterday....same pace...similar watts...lower HR....even I had left earlier I would have done the full century but I needed to be back by 5pm...no problem either day!...long run tommorrow then recover....

Yes to speed work but keep it to 3' max with equal recovery and only after you are warmed up.
I would keep the plan as is while you boost the run...don't want to push both similtaneously!!
well f$ck...had a very good rr going yesterday.... until i fractured my clavicle!
Any words of wisdom to share on how to recover...what to do during recovery...
the heart of my season is shot....ag nationals 8/10 ..not.....IMlou 8/24....not.....IM princeton 70.3...9/21...maybe?
very bummed....
