Changing the training Plan

[mark59]

Hi 

I am training for the Cream Puff on July 1, 2012.

On June 16th there is a double century  I was thinking of riding  called the Terriable Two its 200 miles and 18k feet of climbing on a road bike . 

I am following your Personal Best 100 mile mt bike plan now .  

I wanted to know if this ride ( Terrible Two )  would be ok to fit in  for training or if it was too much deversion from your plan ? My main Goal is to do my best at the Cream Puff.

What week of your training plan will you be on June 16th?

I believe its the 10the week of the 12 week plan . I started the plan in the middle . I did not start the plan from the very beginning.  This ride the Terrible Two would be two weeks before the Cream Puff.  I jumped into your plan so the end of the plan would finish at the start of the Cream Puff July 1.  I believe it was 6 weeks I had  left when I started . I contacted you and you said it would still be helpful to start the plan with 6 week to go until the race.

Thanks

That is too much to do 2 weeks prior to Cream Puff and be on form for CP.

Perfect thats what I needed to hear Lynda.

I have the common mistake of overtraining. 

I will stick to the plan.

Thanks again

Mark
