Patrick,

Next week I'll be in week 11 of the EN Full Intermediate plan, and I need to make some adjustments due to travel. I'll be gone Wednesday afternoon through Friday. I may be able to fit in a short run and/or swim during the trip (I'll have access to a lap pool) but it depends on how the schedule shakes out.

I'm thinking about moving the long run up to Wednesday -- does that make sense? If I do that, should I move the bike somewhere earlier in the week or drop it? Any other adjustments you would make?

Thanks,

Mike

    Mike -

    Tuesday is FTP bike + Brick Run
    Wednesday is Long Run
    Thursday is OFF
    Friday AM is FTP run
    Saturday + Sunday is normal training.

    That early Day Off (don't kill me) is what sets up your weekend. Do yourself a favor and make sure all your weekend stuff is set up (tires, food, etc) so you can easily get back and get to work!

    Coach P,

    I'm looking for advice on adjusting Camp Week following a HIM. My situation:

    • I'm racing Victoria 70.3 this Sunday, and following the wiki guidance on tapering and recovery after the race
    • Next week is week 15 / Camp Week. I was planning to have RR#1 on the course Saturday, 6 days after the HIM
    • I will be in Whistler, with license to train as much as I want from Saturday-Thursday. So I could push back the RR a few more days
    • If I do the RR on Saturday or Sunday, I can bike the full course. Past that, paving work will cut the course in half

    Should I push back the RR? And if so, how should I fill those days? Thanks!

    Mike, perfect! Remember, the "Adjust IM Plan for Half" protocol isn't about tapering and peaking for your best race. image It's a good chance to see your fitness, test your nutrition, bike set up, etc.

    As for the rest of your week, the RR on Sat should be fine. I would plan on:

    Mon - OFF
    Tue - Swim Only
    Wed - Easy Bike + Run (total 60')
    Thu - 45' TRP run
    Fri - RR Swim
    Sat - 112 bike on Course, short run
    Sun - 112 bike on Course, no run
    Mon - Split Run AM/PM
    Tues - Half a Loop
    Wed OFF
    Thu - Long Run and back on plan...
