Seminar: Integrating Non-Standard Elements into Plans

Last night (April 25, 2019), about ten of us participated in a roundtable seminar discussing "Integrating Non-Standard Elements Into EN Long-Course Training Plans." We tried to limit our focus to the last 3 months before an A-race such as a 70.3 or Ironman, as well as the official OutSeason.

The session was (hopefully) recorded, and will be posted shortly (@Coach Patrick I am assuming you or someone else from EN management is on this?)

Participants included (forgive me if I forget anyone): @Jeff Phillips @Andrew Lustigman @Derrek Sanks @Tim Sullivan @Sheila Leard @Paul Hough @Brian Hagan @Sid Wavrin @tim cronk @Tony Ledden.

Folks shared what they have done in addition to or in place of the training plans as written:

โ€ข More frequent running (durability focus)

โ€ข Zwift races as bike workouts

โ€ข High Volume Bike pops, 12 weeks before, and as part of the race rehearsal weekends - longer rides than the plans

โ€ข Recovery strategies including walking and naps, as well as judiciously placed days off or lower intensity days

โ€ข Strength training

โ€ข Incorporating shorter races (Sprint, Olympic) into the plans

โ€ข Flexibility such as Yoga, Pilates

โ€ข Modifications necessitated by physical changes such as injury or age

โ€ข Mountain Biking

โ€ข Multi-Day Bike touring

โ€ข Bike commuting

โ€ข Half marathon(s) replacing long runs
