Patricia Thompson Macro Thread

Hi Patricia,

This is your very own “Macro Thread” where you and I can discuss any questions you may have about the Triathlon Season Roadmap (TSR) that I created for you here. This is also a space where we can discuss any big picture, season planning, race schedule and other related issues you may have going forward.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you and I am just trying to familiarize myself with the site so that I get the most out of it.  I have been a slacker the past week due to a little case of plantar fasciitis which then started a knee niggle in the opposite knee. Anyhootie, I will study and get ready to start my plan this week! Thank you!

Heyyyy!  So, as I have been discussing in my micro thread with Coach P, I'm nursing some foot injuries/long term foot issues.  I've made a concerted effort to do my physical therapy every day and have cut back pretty heavily on the running.  I ran for the first time in a week yesterday (Sunday) off the bike (I had to flip flop my bike and run weekend days).  The reason I am posting in my macro thread is I think I want to put my 2017 focus a bit stronger on the swim/bike aspects of the sport.  I have spent years trying to improve the run to no avail so I would like to throw myself in to really training the other disciplines.  That being said, I am adding a 40 mile bike race to my schedule on April 30th and also Aqua Bike Nationals on November 12th.  I will still be doing two 70.3's (Eagleman and Lake Placid) but I would perhaps take them down to C and B races, respectively.  Let me know your thoughts and also what I should be adding/doing differently to get myself ready for a super performance on April 30th.  TIA!
