Coach Notes
I really want you to get that Shoulder checked out...if you haven't been to PT yet, it's worth a referral. We don't want to lose any range of motion / critical strength there.
As for the MCL, assuming it's not too bad, you could get away with some RockTape and following this video (I use rock tape a lot myself):
I see Run Durability Program in your future (take your sweet time building mileage with that knee!) and then the Holiday Run Challenge and a break before the January OutSeason®.

Your Notes
This year I've been struggling with two injuries. 1) Right knee: My MCL has been very tender since May.
2)Right shoulder: there are days when I struggle to lift my arm up above my shoulder to get my shirt on.Currently in RDP- running 5 to six times per week

Coach P-
Thanks for the quick turnaround on my season plan!
However, I need a little help finding the recommended plans. I clicked on the above Training Plan page and Training Plan Central page links. All I see are older plan.
Thanks,
Tim
@Tim Stajkowski
Hey Tim, I see you found the plans. I saw there was a bit on overlay in the OutSeason and Ultra plan so I cleaned that up. All those plans are loaded to your calendar now. Can I help you with anything?

@Tim Stajkowski I got your Check-In update, and have pasted it below. This is part of our monthly process to stay connected, so thanks for filling it out!
I am curious to see how the workouts are going in your ultra quest this year? Are you planning to still DIY the event? When you have a chance, it would be great to have you link up either your Strava or your Garman to final surge so we can start processing your data. That will help me do a better job of giving you feedback. https://www.finalsurge.com/GarminConnectSync
