July Schedule Adjustments

tdicus

Hi Rich,

I am in week 11 of the Intermediate IM Plan getting ready for IMWI.  I'll have some training hiccups in July due to both personal and business travel, leading to the following:

-Next week I'll be in Boulder, so lots of good training time. On Saturday the 12th I'm driving back to KC and can't do my long ride that day. Should I move the Saturday ride to Sunday or make some other alteration while in Boulder?

-I'm signed up for the Kansas 5150 on Sunday, July 20, so would appreciate guidance for my training leading up to that race.

-In case this influences your responses to the two items above, I'm out of town for work the week of July 28 through August 3. Therefore I am doing the big training weekend on July 26 (one week early).

Thanks.

Todd

Hi Rich,

I am in week 11 of the Intermediate IM Plan getting ready for IMWI.  I'll have some training hiccups in July due to both personal and business travel, leading to the following:

-Next week I'll be in Boulder, so lots of good training time. On Saturday the 12th I'm driving back to KC and can't do my long ride that day. Should I move the Saturday ride to Sunday or make some other alteration while in Boulder? Can you do the long ride on Friday vs Sunday? You absolutely need to get the long ride and I'd be afraid that something would come up on Sunday that may prevent you from getting it in? IOW, long ride on Friday, then do the scheduled Sunday ride on Sunday. 

-I'm signed up for the Kansas 5150 on Sunday, July 20, so would appreciate guidance for my training leading up to that race. Please read this wiki article about inserting races in your training plan. 

-In case this influences your responses to the two items above, I'm out of town for work the week of July 28 through August 3. Therefore I am doing the big training weekend on July 26 (one week early). Sounds good, fine to move this big training weekend to where it makes sense for yo.

Thanks.

Thanks, Rich. A great thought about moving up my long Saturday ride by a day. Not only will Friday work for me, but it's one one more opportunity to ride long before leaving Boulder!
