Swapping out Big Day Training - Jonathan

Hello Coaches,

Next week (Week 11 Ironman Intermediate) i am going into a big training day on saturday. However i wanted to see if i can move Week 11's and Week 12"s weekend bike workouts? We (a big group of us) are hitting up the Shenandoah valley next week for a nice long bike ride on some hilly terrain. And if i do a big training day on saturday, i will have nothing left for that ride on sunday. Thoughts?

Also, i just did a HIM on May 11th.

@Jonathan, no need for the big day...just go big on both ride days, pacing Day 1 so the numbers on Day 2 at least equal, if not exceed the Day 1 effort. Have fun!!

Patrick,
Why not just switch the weeks?

@Josie, since he's already riding long and is doing it with friends, we can make the most of that weekend instead of trying to have him convert EN rides from Week 12 into the rides he'll do with buddies (won't happen)...or worse yet, double down across both weeks riding long and then trying to do a big day...
