PUBLISHED: 2018 EN*FULL, Minimalist (All Levels) 20 Week Plans...
Team, Your Minimalist Full Plan is Live!!!
Ok folks the 2018 Full Minimalist Plan is now available. You can find the plan under Training Plan/My Plan/Move Change Plan.
As a refresher, the Minimalist plan condenses your training into more of a manageable schedule — we recommend it for athletes who face training limitations (can only go long on weekends) or can only maintain a limited training load (read: physical limitations).
For 2018, there is only one EN*FULL Minimalist plan. 20 weeks long it’s a "complete" plan even if most of you will only do the final 12 weeks. Due to the limited training time element, the plans do not have a Bike- or Run-Focused component. If you are looking to focus your Minimalist Plan, please reach out to Coach Patrick in your Official Coach Thread.
Edits for the 2018 version elements include:
- No bike/run focus for minimalist, just one flavor.
- Long Ride / Brick on Saturday
- Long Run on Sunday (both split and long runs)
- Swims are reduced to two a week (Monday / Friday, with Friday being an optional day off).
- Quality Bikes (Tues FTP and Thursday ABP (at 50% of the traditional Sunday ABP session)
- Quality / Threshold run (Wednesday).
