@Dan - There may be a thread in the EN 3.0 forums on time management - if you post a question like that in the general training forum you'l get more eyeballs and better answers - Also, FWIW- I'm still new here but I'm drinking the koolaid - if it says do 2 x 20 test, i do a 2 x 20 test.
@Michael - Welcome to Dec OS. You question is probably better served being in the General training questions area of the forum.
@Michael - I'd 2nd what Cary said about asking coach, however, IMO if you miss a workout its gone, forget it and don't try to catch-up, it'll usually lead to a training overload at the wrong time. Loads of time to go so a few missed workouts aint going to have any impact whatsoever. Mebbe use it to earn some SAU points?! :-)
@Michael - Yes, if you miss the workout, just move on. The OS program is pretty well-tested and structured so you will likely overtrain or get hurt if you try to add missed workouts to subsequent days. I asked this question of Coach Rich last year and that is the answer he gave. Good luck
As far as fathers time management, I am just learning that too. My first born son is 5 weeks old and I am on Week 3 of OS. My wife is a saint so she understands that working out makes for a happier dad. But in the end, the thing that suffers is sleep. No way around it. Just need to set performance expectations accordingly.
Monday - supposed to be an easy day but just had my assed kicked during my 1:1 swim coach session! I was carrying over some fatigue from the weekend (and last weeks probably) and my legs were like lead, just what you need when your stroke is being scrutinized. If only I could forget swimming until later in the season!
Need to work on my catch & I'm not following through all the way past my hip; I do but only when I'm fresh - need to slow down and get max ROI from each stroke. All good fun - speaking of fun, starting the psyching-up process already for my power clinic test tomorrow, what'll it be, Metallica or Linkin Park to get me thru? Me thinks i'll be able to find a 5min long metallica track.............
Dan, Thanks for the suggestion on the bike fit but I just recently had a proper fitting. Glad to report that the pain has subsided... RICE works! Good luck to everyone on your Tuesday bike! Paul

Cary, no doubt, I'm there with you on the koolaid. Im just a bit anxious to man up!

Go 'til you blow !
Have a great week folks!
@John- Congrats on the new son. Tough time to train with a newborn in the house but you get the daily rewards from having him there!
