Swapping Training Days

Hi Coach Patrick,

The OS schedule has me to Bike and Run on Tuesday, Run on Wednesday and Bike on Thursday.

It is okay to Run on Tuesday, Bike on Wednesday and Bike and Run on Thursday?  I know riding two days in a row is not as good having a rest day from riding in between.  I have friends who ride on Wednesday and Thursday pretty much most of the season.

Thanks, Henry

    Henry, absolutely. Do the FTP run on Tuesday, then note the FTP or VO2 work you are trying to accomplish on the Wed / Thursday rides so you can punish your friends (or yourself!) accordingly....IOW, if you have 2 x 12' at FTP on the plan, try to spend 24' at Threshold effort on the bike during the ride...you don't have to make them ride your workout, just get the work done!
