    Thanks, Lynda – the vacation will be active and stressful (Disney + College visits)…so I will skip week 11 and move on to week 12. If I feel good, should I pick up week 11?

    I should add that after the Base plan, I plan to do the Masters 100 mile PR plan in prep for the Lumberjack 100 on June 17.

    Thanks, Lynda

    Now I have those character-building 30/30s to look forward to later this week 🙂

    Lynda – thanks for a very detailed response.

    Great point on dropping weight – the extra ~8 points I’m carrying has definitely been my limiter this past year.

    Thank you, Lynda.  I've started doing dumbbell power cleans, and they are working for me.  I just don't have the coordination to do it with a bar…should have stuck with those dance classesSmile

    Thanks, Lynda.

     

    I'm in week 2 of the plan you recommended and have a few questions:

    1.  I have not been doing strength training as part of my regular routine over the past few years.  My attempts at the prescribed strength workouts left me concerned that I might injure myself – should I simply dial back the load and increase the reps to allow my body to adapt…or follow a different routine?

    2. We're having a patch of weather that has made the trails essentially unrideable.  I'm assuming it's okay to sub with an equivalent road ride is okay.  Is it okay to switch the Saturday/Sunday ride to fit in with the weather's schedule?  Your views on using the indoor trainer?

     

    Thanks,
