Karim ElDib Adjusted_Training Plan

Hello Coach Rich,

Due to a series of work issues I am  really just getting started with EN Training.  I had emailed support and Anne wrote that I should start a micro thread. TO me it looks like macro thread is more in line with my questions so I am posting this to both micro and macro forums

For context : Currently my longest run is about 60-70 min.  I am up to about 75 min on bike trainer and am swimming 1 hour.  I am very muscle deficient (small build, 52 years old) and know that my quads are particularly weak.  I am very aware that strength training is important me and I already have begun quad and core strenthening

<> I have had some injury issues that for the time being seem to be under control. (hip camming, some bone spurs on femur ball heads, had ortho Left kneecap scrape in 07.  There was some Level 4 cartilage deterioration. ). If you have other training plans; I am interested in switching to an *easier (lower intensity)  training plan*. I feel that I need to rebuild my base for at least 4 weeks before I start doing higher intensity.

 <> Though I have not had much chance to start utilizing your web site resources, I am finally ready to start my training cycle. I can tell that I will like the coaching but don't know if it is better to put my membership on hold for a month and then restart once I have a little bit of a base? Or can we set a new training plan that is still consistent with getting mileage and yardage for Lake Placid 2014?

Please advise. Thank-you for your time.  Regards,  Karim ElDib

    Hello Coach Rich,

    I havent seen my adjusted plan yet.  i'm not sure if i didnt resubmit correctly.  In short, I would like to see if you have a training program, (IMLP2014 is still my A race and priority). But due to injury issues and unexpected work, I haven't been able to really start training.

    I am hoping for a plan that includes a gradual base building - but still gets me up to mileage for 7/27/2014 (currently at 70 min on bike trainer, and run, 45 min on swim).  Hope this isnt complicating matters.  If yoiu think that new adjusted plan is not poss - maybe its better to put my membership on hold for the next month or so till i build a base.  Please advise.  Thank-you   Karim ElDib
