How do I modify my training plan for Yom Kippur?
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement on the Hebrew calendar, requires fasting beginning at sundown on the designated day and ending at sundown on the following day. Yom Kippur is a complete Sabbath; meaning that no work can be performed on that day and the athlete is to refrain from eating and drinking (even water) during the complete, 25-hour fast. For endurance athletes, care must be taken not to exercise at all during the fasting period. It is best to move your training weeks around so that a rest week falls during the time of Yom Kippur observance. Make the...

How tired should I feel during my training plan?
Your training plan is designed to stress your body. All training plans (triathlon, running and cycling) also include recovery days and weeks. It is normal to feel fatigued or tired after workouts designed to take your body and fitness to the next level. If you start to feel “wiped out” consider taking one of the optional workouts as a day off, or cutting back your next workout. It is often life (job, family and friend) stress that can tip you over the edge and bring on an illness. You will notice when life is mostly smooth, it is easier to...

Solid training plan scores PR times and podium results
(A dirty girl face from a fun and dusty race.) I don’t often write about my own training and racing results. This is primarily because I find the most joy in my work when I help other people get faster or go farther. I’m the first to admit, I’m happy when I’m fast too. I ended the 2013 race season by defending my age group win at the Dakota Five-O Mountain Bike Race. I was in the top 20 women overall, and at 55 I was the oldest woman at the race. For those of you that think you’re too...

Training Plan Workouts: Interval Training in the Heat
One of the common training plan workouts I assign to athlete in the last four to six weeks before an important race is 5-6 x 3 minutes getting heart rate or power into Zone 5b (anaerobic) and holding it there. Take 3 minutes of Zone 1 recovery between each one. These are best done on a hill.Most of the time I want this workout done in cool conditions so athletes can produce the most amount of power possible – because we know that heat decreases your ability to produce power. This is because some of your energy is spent trying...

Training plan mistakes made by beginner, intermediate and advanced triathletes and cyclists
I was recently asked the most common training program mistakes made by endurance cyclists and triathletes when they are self-coached. The answer was easy, I’ve seen many repeats of these errors in the last two months:Beginner: The most common error I see among new cyclists and triathletes is no consistency of workouts until the last three or four weeks prior to the event. Missed workouts in the six to two months prior to the race cannot be made up in the last month. Attempting to cram too much volume into the three or four weeks prior to the race leaves...
