Hi Coach,
I would like to make changes to the training plan and would like your suggestions:  

Monday-same except I also swim, play tennis and join a yoga class
Tuesday-Bike (move from Wednesday) Run (move from Wednesday)
Wednesday-Swim lesson and Run (from the schedule)
Thursday-Swim; Short Run then a 30-45 minute strength training session with an instructor
Friday-Bike (move from Saturday) and yoga
Saturday-Bike (move from Sunday)  Swim     This Saturday session is with my Triathlon teammates at our local club.
Sunday-Long Run (move from Thursday)

    @Linda Marx -  thank you for the edits. My only concern is that I don’t see a dedicated rest day in the schedule. For example, I don’t know how you can move the Wednesday run to Tuesday, but then still have a Wednesday run on your schedule. The way things are shaking out. You seem to run on multiple days in a row including tennis on Monday. I’m not sure if that will be enough rest for you on the non-run days of Friday and Saturday.

    If I had my way I would probably find a way to remove the run from Wednesday and have that be a little bit of a later day. Even if that meant putting a short break run on either Friday or Saturday.

    Maybe if you give me a link to the Strava profile I can see how it shakes out and make some more adjustments.

    Also, please note that next week I have a meeting during our scheduled call time so I will need to reschedule with you (for the 23rd).

    Hi Coach,
    No problem taking out the Run on Tuesday.  I don't have a Strava profile so what else can I provide you??  After participating in the Out Season Run Durability I was used to running 28-30 miles per week, now that has significantly lowered.  There is a reason????  I just need to hear your wisdom.............. Is it okay that I changed the Bike to Tuesday/Thursday and Saturday??   I will reschedule our appointment.

    @Linda Marx -  since I can’t see your training log, I can’t specifically speak as to why you’re running mileage has dropped. I would encourage you to keep the mileage really close to that number if possible, yet still try to maintain some form of rest today. If you were in the 25 to 28 mile range, I would be satisfied with that. Is that something you think you can manage with your schedule? My only concern is that you obviously have a lot of other things that you were doing in addition to the baseline training. Let me know what you think!

    PS where do you log your workouts right now?
