Issues with road map

Coach Rich/Patrick:

I loaded the Get fast plan right after the Swim camp plan and according to your road-map for me to follow, I end up in Get Fast week #8 which prescribes FTP tests for swim, bike and run. When I load the Half Training plan to end on 06/19, the week starts with FTP tests for swim, bike and run.

My first competition of the year is on Sunday 03/20 with the NYC Half Marathon which I was planning to use as my 5K/10K FTP test.

How do i compensate for the next two weeks?

When do I do the FTP test, during the Get Fast Week #8, this coming week, or during the EN Half Ironman week #8 which starts in one week?

My road map was updated/created on 1/30/16.

Thank you for your time,

Marco

    Marco,

    1. Do the tests in wk8 of the GF plan
    2. Then in wk8 of the HIM plan, just skip those tests and instead do the bike and run interval sessions from wk9 of the HIM. Then do wk9 as written when you get to it. 

    Good luck!
