Daria Matthews Macro Thread
Hi Daria,
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!

I'd like to do some smaller fun races before my 70.3 Boulder in August. Maybe 10K or half marathon and a century ride.....I don't want to sacrifice my training so please, let me know when you think it would be a good time to do those.
Thank you!
You're fine doing anything you want, short of a half Ironman, before about wk14 of your EN*Half training plan. But before that date, just schedule anything that sounds like fun and will help hold you accountable for your training. Good luck!
- Big Day: if you don't think you're ready for it, you could "look backwards" at the weekend before that one and do what's scheduled there instead. IE, a ~3hr ride vs the 4hr ride I believe is on the BD schedule.
- You'll be fine with "only" 10wks of the HIM plan. You're absolutely building HIM fitness while you're in the SC plan...you just don't know it :-) In fact, nearly every HIM athlete on the squad only does about 8-12wks of dedicated time in the HIM plan. It works.
Good luck!
