Your Notes

Been just casually running and biking. 3-5 times per week. Struggled with a hamstring injury last year and am hoping it gets better. Almost there, but not quite.

Coach Notes

I agree...you are ready! Will be nice to see how you perform on a flat course for both the Bike and the Run, you sure do like those hills! 🤣

I see the year as split into two different focuses -- Running Early, Biking Later.

I'd still like to see you maintain the run you've built in the second half of the year using frequency (you'll have done quite a bit of run volume for the Marathon). The main focus will be on building / using the bike for fitness, but let's not lose that run!

Kyle Kolquist · December 25, 2018 7:12PM

Thanks Coach P. I noticed that One race was missing. I’m doing IM 70.3 Wisconsin on June 9. Do we want to alter this plan? We probably need to a bit. Sorry!

Coach Patrick · December 31, 2018 12:04PM

Ok, totally updated for you now!!! Sorry for the confusion!

~ Coach P

Kyle Kolquist · January 15, 2019 11:10PM

Where do I find the updated version?

Coach Patrick · January 22, 2019 1:59PM

Sorry for the confusion! It’s up at the top of this thread, I simply updated the guidance to include the 70.3 and transitioned you out of the outfield in a little earlier to accommodate the change. Just scroll back up to the top of it and you’ll see it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Kyle Kolquist · November 24, 2019 12:57AM

Racing with you tomorrow at IMAZ. Godspeed! I just uploaded my season roadmap for 2020. I thought I already did it a few weeks ago...anyhow, let me know if you got it. I posted IM St. George as my “A” race, but I have to add IM WI 70.3 on 6/14/2020. And also a 50K on 8/14/2020.

Coach Patrick · November 26, 2019 4:29PM

I saw your note, and I replied to you yesterday from the plane. I want to
learn more about what went down for you on race day and how that factors
into our future plans together. Keep me posted!

Kyle Kolquist · November 27, 2019 1:02PM

I got a solid six mile run in yesterday. My stomach is feeling better and my appetite is back. Hopefully start training soon.

Kyle Kolquist · November 27, 2019 1:03PM

Btw, how do I get rid of this silly picture of me at the bottom of my post????

Coach Patrick · December 19, 2019 9:23PM

Racing IMAZ this weekend planning on taking it slow for a couple of weeks before starting to train again for St. George

Let's get to work!

Kyle Kolquist · March 22, 2020 1:25PM

Crazy times. Here is my updated race schedule:

IM WI 70.3 June14

Marquette 50K August 15

IM St. George September 19

Coach Patrick · March 24, 2020 4:08PM

@Kyle Kolquist - crazy times indeed! Hard to stay on top of everything, but here's a path I think that will make sense for you to move forward on. Essentially what we're gonna do here is training for the half, jump into a run focus plan for a bit, and then exit into the full Iron Man plan. That will give you a run focus block that is ultra specific but still allow you to train as a multi sport athlete.

In the event that the 70.3 is canceled, you can and that according to the timeline where the ultra plan would normally begin and pick things up there. Essentially each of these plans will be a steppingstone to the next. I have lined it up so that you'll be exiting some early but she does earlier races be canceled, you were just follow the starting date of the next plan as the official start.

On 3/23/2020 Load the -- EN Half Bike Focused, 12wks to end on 6/14/2020
On 6/15/2020 Load the -- UltraRun 50k Plan, Beginner/Intermediate [12 Weeks] to end on 8/16/2020
**Transition Early**
On 7/12/2020 Load the -- EN Full Bike Focused to end on 9/20/2020
On 9/21/2020 Load the -- Post Ironman Transition Plan, All Levels (4wks) to end on 10/4/2020
On 10/5/2020 Load the -- Durability for Triathletes 1 (9 months out) -- 4 weeks to end on 11/1/2020

Adjustment Notes

** note if the 70.3 is cancelled follow the 70.3 plan to 5/24 and then load up the 50k plan to start on On 5/25/2020.
** note if the 50k is cancelled exit the 70.3 on 6/28 and load the Full plan to start on 6/29 for IMSG part deux.

Coach Patrick · July 24, 2020 4:59PM

@Kyle Kolquist - I got your Check-In update, and have pasted it below. This is part of our monthly process to stay connected, so thanks for filling it out!

Super hard to tell whether not you're gonna be racing this season, as you know. So much is changing right now. I think the work you're doing is really important from a macro level perspective. You're building a fitness that we need to not only be successful in the short term, but that will help carry your overall progression into the future. The key is making sure you have the right motivations in place so the decisions you're making on a daily basis or healthy.

If you find yourself starting to get worn down, or if motivation becomes an issue, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help walk you through some modifications as needed to keep you on track.

Stay healthy!

~ Coach P
