Hey guys.....

I am on week 8 of Int. IM plan and this is testing week. I have a planned century ride on Sat, which is the day you have me doing an hour swim--3.5hr bike--and hour run. No problem. But the bike portion will be twice as long. Should I alter anything? Have to mention that I have been resting on the run portion since last Thurs 115' run got my achilles to become inflamed (sore and swollen). Prolly my bad for not stretching enough So I hope to be able to run this Sat. 

Thanks as ushe... Vicki

    Vicki no need to run after the century, bonus if you can swim before (or do swim on Friday). Push the run back to Sunday (I'd warm up 30; on the bike or with some walking first, then test the run, then back at the regular week on Monday. Really gotta stretch and take care of that achilles!!!!

    Thanks Patrick. I plan on swimming prior. The "one" achilles doesn't hurt to walk or run on...just looks bad and a little sore to touch. But I've painfully held from doing any running. I am prone to this so i should take better care.....

    It's not the easier choice, but it is the smarter one...
