Mark Hickman 2016 Micro
Coach. After bike accident on Christmas day (bruised ribs and broken finger), it looks like I'm going to be in run jail for a bit, or at least until i can stand the jostling. On the other hand, I can handle biking, and starting the JOS on Monday. Curious as to what a hack to the plan looks like that inserts lots of biking and no running...until I can do the running anyway. Thanks. Mark

Here's your updated Season Plan, as promised. This is where you'll return to post all your "coach" questions as responses; I'll see them and reply. This first post is my best outline of how to proceed with your races, but you can ask any / all questions you want. So post away, know that I reply here usually M/W/F each week.

Your Notes
Last races were Augusta on 24 Sep (5:22 (easy swim)), and a Sprinternational Oct 14. Started running every day 6 Nov, and biking 3-4x a week since 24 Nov. Currently in Week 5 of Bike focused Dec OS, level 3. FTP test today (Zwift 253/P1 pedals 221). Had planned to transition to advanced Half plan 8-9 weeks prior to Florida 70.3 (5:4X last year) (April 8)), but open to what you think is best time to come over. Don't intend to race longer than 70.3, and unsure of race plans past June as the Army is moving me somewhere, just not sure where yet. Other than bike accidents, I have almost no injury background other than minor tweaks here and there. Saying that, I do occasionally have some back issues, which chiro has been doing a good job with, and some shoulder issues...I just don't do burpees, wide arm push ups etc. I've been a decentish swimmer without much buildup (around 1:40/100y), and can get down to maybe 1:30ish with significant effort. Will begin to get in the pool 1-2x week over the next few weeks. Looking at ability levels, I'm right between Intermediate and Advanced, but all goals are in the Advanced ranges:o)
I'll have 4-5 races in the few months after Florida 70.3; mostly sprints. Possibly another 70.3 if I need the race series points and weather is favorable.
