Rodney Poepping Macro Thread

Hi Rodney,

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!

Question on days that work for my schedule. Mondays I have off and my wife is at work and kids at school. this makes for the best day to have my most intense/longer workouts. I see on the average training plans those fall on Sat. Is there any harm in just switching the sat./mon. or is there thought on when the rest day should fall. 
Thanks and I'm looking forward to seeing some great results this year.

Let's do this:

• Look ahead at a typical training week and propose, here, a template training week. That is, your proposal of how you'd schedule our workouts across the week that you know works for you. 
• You and I can then have a discussion about how to modify that template, given my experience of what to expect as Workout A interacts with B, etc. 
• We settle on a template and you implement that going forward.

If I shift and make my wed. the rest day/start of the week then everything shifts in place and I won't need to do training out of order...does that make sense. I am assuming that will be the easiest solution. thx.

Ok, that makes sense. Please do that.
