2012 SC Plans and not quite right yet...
Posting this here incase anyone has started up their SC plans for the summer.
I posted this to the Macro...
I had a printed copy of the overview of the 2011 SC Advanced Plan. Last weekend I loaded up the 2012 SC Advanced Plan to print of the overview to start planning. While comparing the two, I see that the swim and run workouts are fairly similar to last year, but the bike is crazy longer.
Last year's bikes maxed out at 75 min, but the 2012 plan has several 120 min bike rides. In week 15 the Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday rides are all 2 hours. Is this correct? I checked out the 2012 SC Int and Beg plans and they also have the 120 min bike rides. Please tell me there's a typo.
And, got this response from Coach R...
Uggg…no, that's not correct. I'll work to fix this. For the record, I:
• Didn't touch the scheduled volume of any of the weekday rides, from '11 to '12
• I did dial up the length of the weekend rides, from '11 to '12, to about 2-2.5hrs

What week are you starting on?
@Daniela: …ugh…no. I need to followup with ENTechGuy about that. Thanks for the reminder!
I just noticed this week (and posted in the macro) that the Advance and Beginner plants are swapped.
Anybody know if the SC '12 plans are good to go? Will be dropping in shortly.
Thx,
Ed
If you're doing the intermediate plans, they have been fine all along.
"we are now scrubbing every workout of every week of every plan so we get this right. Thanks for your patience. The short answer is that NO weekdays rides are longer than 60-75' so you can ignore an 120' jazz in the meantime."
Thanks for pushing this again, Ed!
Btw, the easy way to swap between plans is to pull up a week and change the URL.
i.e The URL for Week 17 advanced is...
http://members.endurancenation.us/TrainingWeekDetails/tabid/204/Default.aspx?p=55&w=17
to get to week 17 beginner, you change the "p=" to "p=57". The "w=" is the week, so you would leave that as "w=17". So, Week 17 Beginner is...

Anyway, here's the post to the macro....
R-
I read in the Team Update that the Short Course plans are fixed. I wish I could say I agree, but I feel the following are still “off”.
• Week 13 of the beginner plan is messed up a bit. The Friday run should be moved to Thursday as a brick. The Saturday swim should be on Friday. The Sunday Run should be on Saturday. And, Sunday is a rest day.
• The brick runs for beginner are longer than both the intermediate and advanced plans for several of the weeks (i.e. Week 3, 4, 17, etc). Is this intentional?
• The Week 1 run on Sunday is 45min for Adv and 60min for Beginner, and same for the Weeks 2 and 15 Wednesday run. It seems that most week’s standalone runs are either the same in the Adv and Beg plans, or the Adv plan is shorter. Is this intentional?
• Not sure if this was intended or not, but for Intermediate Week 16 there is a run instead of a bike on Friday. Both the Beginner and Advanced plans have a swim that day, which is also consistent with most of the weeks.
• On the last day of the plan, the run “title” is Run_Second. There is no bike. I assume that there really is no bike ride before hand. Can the title be changed to Run_Strides?
Sorry for being a pain, but just trying to make the Advanced people be the best that they can be!
"Week 13 of the beginner plan is messed up a bit. The Friday run should be moved to Thursday as a brick. The Saturday swim should be on Friday. The Sunday Run should be on Saturday. And, Sunday is a rest day."
-- Yes, great catch!
"• The brick runs for beginner are longer than both the intermediate and advanced plans for several of the weeks (i.e. Week 3, 4, 17, etc). Is this intentional?" -- The brick runs should be all fixed now…thanks!
"The Week 1 run on Sunday is 45min for Adv and 60min for Beginner, and same for the Weeks 2 and 15 Wednesday run. It seems that most week’s standalone runs are either the same in the Adv and Beg plans, or the Adv plan is shorter. Is this intentional?" That was based on making each plan individual (I wrote SC BEG runs separate from SC ADV runs, and the intensities are often different. That said, I cleaned them up to be more reflective of a progression through the plan.
"Week 16 INT plan has a Friday Run instead of swim…I will have Daniel add that in!
"On the last day of the plan, the run “title” is Run_Second. There is no bike. I assume that there really is no bike ride before hand. Can the title be changed to Run_Strides?" DONE!!!
Also, one more thing....Week 19 Beginner might be missing a bike on Tuesday.
Starting week 18 this week

-Copy the SC Week 19 Tuesday INT Bike to Week 19 BEG Tuesday plan.
-On all SC plans, the week 19 Friday swims should we swapped with the Week 18 Friday swims.
-Delete the Run workout on SC Week 10 Monday BEG plan and replace with the Week 10 Swim RR workout (as seen in INT and ADV level plans).
