Rich - Early this season you did a season road map for me that ended with the now-cancelled Rev3 Morgantown in late July.  The season has been a fiasco; I broke my tibia in February then broke a toe as soon as the tibia healed.  I'm doing the Tri-Rock Olympic race this weekend, but have only been "training" for a couple of weeks.  Although it's going to hurt, pain is fear and weakness leaving the body, right? 

Can you recommend a plan for me to drop into after Tri-Rock?  I have no other races on the calendar yet, but would like a plan to follow to start to rebuild some of the fitness (especially running) I lost being injured for 15 weeks.  Thanks!

    Hey John,

    Sorry to hear that! What training limitations do you have right now? What do you think you're capable of right now, especially on the run. 

  • No bike or swim limitations, so I'm good to go there.

    I've been back running for about two weeks and have not pushed it over 2.5 to 3 miles per run (3 runs per week). So, I'd imagine my only real limitation is easing back into running for a few more weeks (other than the 10k that's included in Tri-Rock Philly this weekend). Thanks!

    Hey John,

    The Bike Focus Plan has the cycling you're looking for and the running is very minimal. However, it doesn't include any swimming. Alternatively, you could use the Get Faster plan, which will have SBR workouts in it, but you'll obviously need to turn down the runs quite a bit. In the end, I think it's a function of comfortable you are with rolling your own swim workouts, so to speak?

  • Thanks, Coach. I'll take a look at the plans and drop one next week. I have no problem with creating my own swims. Once I decide on another race (maybe Soma late season), I'll reach out.
