Training Plan Problem Thread
Folks, please put any / all issues you find with your training plan in this thread. We will check in on this thread 1x a week and get back you with any changes. If you need last minute help, please post to the Dashboard for your Teammates to advise you!
The format should read as follows:
Plan Name, Ability Level (Duration) @ Specific Week
Your Description...
For example, it might look like this....
EN*Full, Beginner (20 week) @ Week 9
The Friday Swim is missing part of the Main Set, blah blah blah....
Thanks in advance for your help!

Fri, Sat & Sun, none of this really makes much sense.
FRI -Swim (race distance) & Run (60') (but in Coach notes we've apparently just biked 112 mi ?)
SAT - Bike (112mi) & Run (30') (Run notes talk about a longer run tomorrow but no run on plan)
SUN - Bike (upto 85mi/4hrs)
Tuesday run describes "60' or 6 miles (whichever first)", but the prescribed time is 120 minutes
Entire Run: 60' or 6 miles (whichever first) @ TRP, 45' @ Zone 2, 15' final push at best possible effort.
Coach Notes: Progressive Pace Run
We start at Zone 1, which is your goal pace on race day (get used to it!).
Tuesday Run - Coach notes don't match workout?
Run: Threshold
WU: 15' easy, including 4 x 30" Strides (30" rest after each repeat).
MS:2 x 1/2 mile (2'), 1 x 1 mile (2') @ Zone 4.
WD: 5' easy.
Coach Note: Addition of first mile in Zone 3 to get you 100% ready for the Threshold work.
@Paul Curtin - it is a two hour run...it's the 6 miles plus 45' plus 15'....here's the workout formatted if that helps:
Run: Run Long
Entire Run: 60' or 6 miles (whichever first) @ TRP, 45' @ Zone 2, 15' final push at best possible effort.
@Doug Sutherland - Good call...it should be TRP. I have fixed that in all 20, 12 and minimalist plans! Remember on race day we want you to run the first six (IM), three (HIM) at your Bike AVG Heart Rate.
@KARL BONNER - Fixed the Tuesday notes...we want you to do a mile in Zone 3 as part of that warm up. Thanks for catching that!
What's next Team!?!
I think Wednesday of Week 17 of the 2017 EN Half Intermediate could do with a little clarification. It's not clear if it is a choice between the FTP/HR Test or the Threshold set? I guessed it was a choice between the two.
Times of run are different on Sat.
Sat - Notes - * Swim 1 hour * Bike 3 hours * Run 1 hour
Run duration - 45 min
Thanks for the details...this round of edits:
- Week 13 Saturday Ride BEG ENFULL plan fixed to be 240 minute ride
- EN*Full, Minimalist, 12 Weeks, Advanced: @Wk 3 Day Off removed left the split runs as intended.
- EN*Full, Minimalist, 12 Weeks, Advanced: @Wk 4 Tuesday Brick Run added.
- EN*Full, Minimalist, 12 Weeks, Intermediate: fixed double FTP runs on Wednesdays for Weeks 1,2,3,5,6
- EN*Full, Minimalist, 12 Weeks, All Levels: @Wk 4 Tuesday Brick Run added.
- EN*Half, Intermediate 12 & 20 weeks @ fixed second Big Day Run Workout duration.
Keep them coming!!!~ Coach P
EN*Full, Minimalist, 12 Weeks, Advanced @ week 6: On Wednesday there are two different run workouts (ditto for subsequent weeks) and Wk 6 Sunday's run workout seems wrong...thought it would be a long run or split long run.
@Robert Sabo - Great catch...fixed across all ability levels...thanks!
Hi Coach, I have some questions.
Full, Intermediate, 20 weeks
week 13 Bike Focus week that sees coaches notes on extra mileage, but there are no recommendations for extra mileage
week 14 missing second half of Thursday split run. Run is only 105 min
week 18 (I saw a link on dashboard for this, but it took me to week 12 with no changes to 18) so I am still wondering if we do a 112 bike after the RR day? I remember this being a do up to 112...
Thanks!
EN*Full, Minimalist, 12 Weeks, Advanced @ week 9: Sunday's workout is "Entire Run: @ TRP effort, off the bike, 180 mins." There's no bike on Sunday...is this a 3 hour long run?
Also @ Week 10, Thursday, there are two Run Workouts listed.
Thanks,
Derrek
@brian terwilliger -
- EN Full Advanced 20 weeks, Week 18 - fixed the Saturday run note.
- EN Full Advanced 20 weeks, Week 17 - updated coach workout notes
@Virginia Edmonds -@Derrek Sanks -
- That Sunday run of 180' is meant to be the Race Rehearsal Run...thanks for catching that!
- Fixed Week 10 double Thursday run.
Everyone....EN*Full, Minimalist, 12 Weeks, Advanced @ week 9: Tuesday Bike FTP Test. Can you add an optional bike workout if you don't want to test? Thanks
- Fixed Week 7 Wed TSS to be 70 vs 234 !!!!
- Fixed Week 9 Bike WKO note issue.
@Derrek Sanks - on it.I know this is not correct now but wanted to post here to check to make sure it was corrected. Thanks!!!
The link in the bottom of the Friday core exercise box doesn't work.
Core / Functional Strength Session.

Testing in the 2018 EN*FULL Bike Focused (All Levels), 20 weeks, 2017 EN*Full, 12 Weeks Advanced , and 2017 EN*Full, Advanced.
I'm comparing week 12 to week 4 of the 12 week plan.
The 2018 plan has me run and bike test on Tuesday. The 2017 plans have me run test on Thursday, the same day as my long run.
By design?
