  @Kori Martini -  thanks so much for checking in. It’s great to hear the progress you’re making. Very exciting and certainly bodes well for this upcoming season.
  

  
  

  I love you at 30 miles a week. That’s a fantastic number which will be a good base for you. I see zero need to change it for December. If we want to add anything, perhaps we extend one or two of those weekend rides.

  
  

  By one or two I mean every other weekend maybe ride three or four hours instead of just two. We want a little bit of stress but not a ton. Maybe we will even get you on Zwift at some point?
  I agree that your son will be 100% fine. Maybe if you don’t want to bike more you can add a little upper body strength work as an addition to your spin class days? I’m sure your body will respond to it pretty quickly so it’s not like this is a big time commitment for you.

  
  

  In short, you are in a fantastic place and I’ll be want to do is keep this rolling as long as we can into January… When you start the out season on January 8!

  Thanks for the feedback on the current situation! 
  
  For planning purposes, and considering the new 2018 OS plans, can you steer me in the right direction for which one to use? I would like to challenge myself, but I am not sure which discipline to focus on. I would like to maintain my run durability but start to build back some of that bike power I seem to have misplaced over the last couple of months. I apparently left it at the top of the final Hincapie QOM.....haven't seen it since. 
  
  Zwift account is created, and the training room remodel is being finished this weekend, so I hope to join some group rides soon. I'm sure I missed info somewhere....is there a set schedule when you folks ride? We were hit by a massive snowpocalypse here so the Fire Dept is on OT and my attempt at joining your Zwift call kinda didn't happen. Can you point me to a forum post or recording where I can get more info? Appreciate ya.

  @Kori Martini no worries...it’s all recorded in the Resources > Wiki > Bike page in the Zwift section.
  
  i like you in the Run Focused OS plse; the bike will come back without tooo much work on it. I promise. Worst case, we “fix” it with the Camps. 
  
  Best place ace for a schedule on Zwift is our GroupMe (muting recommended: You’re invited to my new group ‘EN Zwift Chat (PSA)’ on GroupMe. Click here to join: https://groupme.com/join_group/29902223/tGK5OF 
  
  races during the week, 10am Sat and 8am sun (est) seems to be the regular way but groups form all the time in the chat. 
  
  Looking forward to seeing you in there.

  @Kori Martini

  Here's your updated Season Plan, as promised. This is where you'll return to post all your "coach" questions as responses; I'll see them and reply. This first post is my best outline of how to proceed with your races, but you can ask any / all questions you want. So post away, know that I reply here usually Monday & Friday each week.

  Coach Notes

  Ok, here we go...I think we move to the Bike Focus plan...amended for Mallorca and whatever trips you come up with (let me know)...and then into the Full plan. You are well on your way, but this next few weeks is a great chance to boost the bike stuff. Let me know if you need help with Final Surge Stuff...once you load the plan I will make some edits.

  In the short term, it would be nice for you to get in double ride weekends in the "combined" 4.5 hour range. 2.5+2 or 3+1.5, etc. Deal?

  Season Update

  These are your recommended training plans, including the date you should start each one (sometimes you won’t complete a full plan but transition to another one). You can change your plans on within Final Surge by clicking on the Training Plans > View My Plans. If you need help manipulating your plans in Final Surge, be sure to check out our Help Site. Remember, you can learn more about each plan and find related plan resources on the Plan Descriptions and Resources page.
