KOvac Season Change Q

Rich,

 My A race is IMMD in October. I will start training in July. Question is about the first half of 2015. My season also has two 70.3 races - one on April 18 and one on June 14th. The way my season roadmap plan is setup now is to train with the Advanced plan for 10 weeks ending 4/19 and then reload the same plan ending 6/14. I feel like I should just load up the Advanced 70.3 plan ending 6/14 (16 weeks) now and just train through the 4/19 race which is a C race anyway. Do you think that I will lose anything by doing so?

    With all of these race so far apart, and with you having completed a full OS, there's no reason for the April and June races to be A-races in their own rights. If you were to drop now into the HIM plan, set to end on the June 14th race, the fitness you have right now would be higher than the first #x weeks of the HIM plan assume you to be. In short:

    • The races are far enough apart that's there no reason to not make them each an A-race
    • The TSR I laid out for you is a good fit for the fitness you have now, post OS.
