Training Schedule Question

bgranger

Hi Coach,

If you think doing the half in June (30 days after IMTX) is too aggressive or not advisable, let me know.  I haven't registered for that race just yet.  I was planning to do it as a fun race.  Probably should have listed it as a C race. 

Also, I tried to add the IM training plan but the system gave me the Medical tent error.   Not sure what to do.

Hi Coach,

If you think doing the half in June (30 days after IMTX) is too aggressive or not advisable, let me know.  I haven't registered for that race just yet.  I was planning to do it as a fun race.  Probably should have listed it as a C race. We usually see it take ~3wks for people to feel "normal" post IM. You shouldn't expect to be able to, or want to do, much training in that 3wk period so you'll lose a good bit of fitness. So a HIM at 4wks later won't be a quality experience. In the end, it's about setting expectations, but if you're able to hold off on registration until closer to the race, I'd do that, waiting to see how I feel. 

Also, I tried to add the IM training plan but the system gave me the Medical tent error.   Not sure what to do. You're not able to load up training plans during your trial membership. That will switch over on the 30th when your free trial ends, or you could click on the Join Now button, under the Support tab above, to end your trial early and turn on that functionality. Up to you though.

Sorry I didn't explain where the error message occurred.  So let me try again.  

I clicked on the move or change plan button and got the message that I was still in Trial mode.  So I clicked on the Join Now link and that is where I received the medical tent error.

Hey Bill,

It looks like the Join Now process didn't "take." I've confirmed that you've not been billed, so maybe try again?

Each time I click on the link I get the same error message. I've tried several times from different computers and from different browsers. I've also sent a message to the support desk with screen shots of each screen.

I just tried going in through a different Join me link and it worked, so I'm all set now.

Ok, thanks. When Anne responds to you, can you work with her to lay out what link you clicked, what wasn't working, etc? I'd like to chase down this error. Thanks!

Will do.
