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.

Your Notes

I was in a bike accident May 27th of 2017. I ruptured my L2; fractured L1 - L4 transverse process; L2 spinal process; ribs 9-12; partially collapsed my left lung; and I had 2 hematomas - under my left psoas and on my spine. So... I'm just getting back in to things and will need to start to build slowly.

Coach Notes

Ok, so good to talk today!!! Thanks again for your time...here's what I am thinking for your "re-entry" phase for January:

  • Yoga - As Much As You Can!
  • Run - 3x a week, on the treadmill as walk run. Ideally you can build this to a 45' workouts with 3' of running with 2 to 3 minutes of walking (incline walking is ok).
  • Bike - 1x a week...fire up the netflix or something and put thee on the bike for 60 to 80 minutes. We just need to get you into that cycling mindset (and see how your body is doing!). 
  • Other - if you are okay to swim, I'd love to see that (or water time) even if for just 1 session a week. The default "other" category here should be hiking / long walks. You can do that any weather and do some cool exploring too...so just get out there!
Then in Feb / March we put you on the Run Durability Program (RDP) where you can start to consolidate the runs a bit into more of a formal program.  You can even join the Run Durability on GroupMe at that point for some fun and run mojo!

Please keep me posted!
