General Pool Running Guidance is here.
There is also Run Jail, how to modify your plan when injured here, and how to Get Back to Running when that’s an option here. 

 

 I hope these help you out…let’s keep the conversation rolling in this thread!

@Dave Heemi -

Dave, thanks for reaching out! I know you were struggling with your knee injury, which means you likely didn't race. Let's turn it around for 2018. 

A 12 month build is great. Your return to health path looks something like this: 

• Baseline health for 6 weeks -- get you aerobic and used to training, etc. During this time we address strength / flexibility issues that set you back before. Minimal running. 
• Run Durability for 4 weeks -- we begin to work on your run consistency in our most basic program. You swim and bike here too. 
• If ^that^ is successful, we move you to Run Durability 2 and 3 (combined 8 weeks) to continue your progression. 
• Next step, which is July, would be to put you into the OutSeason®, our winter program, to get your strong on the bike and run. 
• You exit mid-October and it's time to start thinking build to OZ, etc. 

That's the macro view of things (I'll put a note of this in your Micro Forum thread) but first, you and I have to connect about your knee and health. 

Let's do this!
