Hi Bryce
TR and an Elite Direto is the best thing since sliced bread ! Keep up the great work!

My A race is IMNZ March 2020. I’ll do the IM HV base/build/specialty starting 8/1/19

I’m finishing HIM HV base/build/specialty with Oceanside 70.3 on 4/6/19

What do I do with April thru July given that I have a time restriction from middle of April to middle of May - I’m the chairperson of our large church carnival which is a three day event in the middle of May and I’ll be really tired from that event - about 2 week recovery.

Thanks

Hi Bryce

Last question (for now)

I was able to import Oceanside 70.3 bike segment from bestbikesplit.com
I’m doing HIM HV specialty right now.
I’m planning on doing the Oceanside ride in TR instead of Polar Bear and Boarstone (in weeks 4, 5 & 7); your thoughts and comments?

Thank you !

Hey,

I'm 3 weeks into the HIM build, but due to an unexpected change of plans, my A race has moved up 3 weeks. Should I shorten the build phase or specialty, and when ?

Thanks !

Hey Bryce

I've got an IM Tremblant 70.3 coming up on June 23rd.

So far this year I've completed Sweet Spot Base and Sustained Power Build. I've only got just over 3 months (12 weeks) left and I'm debating which of these 3 programs to do:
-Half Triathlon Base (8 wks)
-Half Triathlon Build (8 wks)
-Half Triathlon Specialty (8wks)

I've got enough time to complete 1.5 of these programs. I've done a few 70.3s before and endurance has never been an issue - I'm most interested in getting my avg speed up.

How would you recommend I allocate my last 12 weeks?

Thanks!

Hey Bryce,
I have my first ever ironman coming up in 36 weeks and would appreciate some guides to cycling only plans from this point forwards.
As I have no real races coming up and a reasonable endurance base at present, I am really keen to bump up my FTP over a shorter period of time.
What would you recommend for this?
Going backwards from the race I have the:
8 weeks specialty plan
8 weeks high volume build plan
12 weeks full distance base
That gives me 8 weeks of training to bring in. I am working of pretty good fitness now but will really like to pump my FTP up so I can potentially ride faster and easier on the day.
What can I do in that 8 weeks to maximise FTP gains moving into the first 12 weeks full distance base plan?

When I go into trainerroad on the app, why do I always have to log in to the website to see the details of the workout? And if I want to check the details of multiple workouts through the app I have to log in multiple times.

Hi Bryce,

I’m currently doing the Full Ironman Distance high volume plan, just about to finish the base phase and will begin the Build Phase afterwards followed by specialty.

Im following the default bike days which are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I was wondering if I were to add a bike on Wednesday’s as well, what type of workout should I add, would you also have some examples?

Would the added Wednesday workout differ for the base phase? For the build phase? For specialty?

Thanks, much appreciated!

Hey there!

I'm sorry to hear that you have to enter your login credentials every time, this is certainly not the flow that we intended and we should be able to get this working much more smoothly.

Our Support Team will be your best resource for this since they are the experts on the technical side of things. A few things you should include in your initial email:

1. What device you are using (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac)
2. How it is opening (in your browser or in its own window within the app)
3. If it opens in the broswer, what browser are you using

You can reach out to the team at support@trainerroad.com.

Sorry again for the complication, I'm sure Support will sort things out in no time :)

I was wondering if you could give me your opinion in this training plan "sequence", I started at the beginning of the year with the Base Olympic plan followed by the Build Oly, HIM Base (which I am currently in the last week), HIM build and HIM Specialty leading to my event on August. My "B" race (an Olympic triathlon) is at the end of the HIM build plan, my question is: how detrimental to my HIM race would be substituting the HIM build for the Olympic Specialty plan? Is there a better way to prepare for both races, Oly and HIM, while being 8 weeks apart?

Hi Bryce,

Just did Oceanside which fell right at the end of the IM build. I have Santa Rosa in 4 weeks...should I go to week 4 or specialty of start from week 1 and use week 8 for the taper? Thanks!

Start with Week 1 and then do a one week taper (Week 8) if you are feeling pretty fresh and ready. If you feel like you need a bit more time to taper, do a two week taper (Weeks 7 and 8).

Good luck!
