Week 13 IM advice
Coach Patrick,
I'm starting week13 Intermediate IM plan. With no taper (did my 270' bike Friday) I did Devilman lite yesterday (.8 m s, 41 m b, 9m r) under control but with .5 IM Intensity and had a nice result. I feel good but want to be smart about recovery. Unfortunately I MUST attend a funeral on Saturday which eliminates any exercise that day. I can fit some smaller sessions during the week (I hope depending on work) but the only guaranteed spot for a long bike will be Thursday afternoon.
With recovery from this past Sunday's race in mind and the inability to do any exercise this coming Saturday what are the priorities for the week consistent with an IM the end of June.? Long bike Thursday afternoon, long run Sunday and then do the best I can with the rest of the week and get back on track next week?
Thanks,
Dave

I think the plan you have described should be perfect. Do the Wednesday interval ride early in the day see you have plenty of time to recover before Thursday. Minimal expectations on Friday for a good swim, take all the time you need on Saturday no rush there.
