Coach,

This is the first time I have needed this, so hear goes.  I will be on vacation out of the country from 7/25 to 8/1.  That correlates basically to week 15 (camp week) of the IM training plan.  I am doing the advanced plan.  I am not sure/don't think I will have much access to a bike (more than a bit of a concern) and may not have a lot of swim access either.  I am hoping I can get in a lake to swim but am not sure.  I am also hoping I can rent a bike and get in some miles, but the travel company is spotty at best right now on helping me with that.  I am traveling to Switzerland, so I am giving them a little bit of a break.  My question is how do I hack that week (and likely the weeks around it) so that I don't fall off the map or kill myself trying to "make up" for missed workouts?  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Scott the vacation isn't the end of the world for your fitness. Most folks will benefit from the break! I say that you plan on either doing camp week before you go or after you return -- you can modify with the drop down menu on your plan page -- so 12/13/15/vaycay/16... Or 13/14/vaycay/15/17.

    Are either of those an option?

    When on the road you can get a good run block in, priorities being the long run and FTP run, everything else is a 45' steady run with strides at the end!
