@Gary, welcome back. Your vague description of vacation has me seriously intrigued. I say that you go week 6 but dial the intensity down a bit. So do the 2 x 15' on the bike but maybe at 90% this week instead of 95%...similar dialing back on the run...

hi guys i was in a car accident and don't i think i have to take a break (broken rib).
also, i am basically travelling from this coming saturday straight through the 23rd of february. my though was to focus on running, since this is easy to do, even while travelling.
please advise...

Coach Patrick

Gary, so sorry to hear about your car accident. I am not sure the jostling of the rib will handle running (elliptical or stairmaster maybe) but note, for most folks with a busted rib even BREATHING is painful. Please start cautiously and with the advice of your DR....we'll get you back when you are healthy!!
