Hi Coaches,

 

I am new to EN and I have been going over the EN stuff and am finding my way around without getting lost as much. J

I have done 4 IMs and 4HIMs.  

 

I am contemplating a change to my original 2012 race plan.

 

Originally, my 2012 plan was to do St. George (5/5/2012) “B” race and Lake Placid (7/22/2012) “A” race. Starting my OS 10/31/11 and that only leaves me 26 wks to St. George.

 

After reading the Season planning tool kit and Stacking EN plans across the season, I have come up with an alternate plan. Starting my OS until 10/31/11

 

Half-Marathon (4/8/12) "B", Half-Marathon (5/6/12) "B", Rev3 Quassy (6/3/12) “B”, IM LakePlacid (7/22/12) “A”

 

The reason for this change, since I am new to EN I would like to do the complete phases 20wk OS- 2wk transition-12-16wk IM with a transition of 1-2 weeks before race prep. 

 

If I had done the EN plan last year, then it would be easier to make the call and plan my season around that. 

 

What are your thoughts on original vs new?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Jim. M46 for 2012. Kona goal whether realistic or not.
