Paul Reynolds 2018 Official Coach Thread
Here's your updated Season Plan, as promised. This is where you'll return to post all your "coach" questions as responses; I'll see them and reply. This first post is my best outline of how to proceed with your races, but you can ask any / all questions you want. So post away, know that I reply here usually M/W/F each week.

Coach Notes
I am not sure where you are at with your training in the Run Durability Program (RDP) right now, so feel free to change those up as you see fit. The big thing is that you kick off 2018 with the OutSeason Plan. We can move from there right into the Swim Camp and then the Bike Focus plan. We'll build the bike and move from there into the Get Fast Plan. You'll exit that one week early into the EN*Full Plan and we can go from there.
If you add other races, let me know and I'll make sure your schedule is updated!
Let's get to work!
