Mixing plans?

So, will you be replacing the 'run' portion of the HIM plan with the 1/2 Mary plan starting in November?

OR will the plans be back-to-back?

EDIT, I think it's the former from http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=55023&posts=18#M579080

AND it looks like you have the Half Mary plan loaded up, so you can 'import' the HIM plan with the start/end dates you want BUT 'DESELECT' the 'run' portion so your current 1/2 Mary plan doesnt get over-written...Also deselect the 'strength' workouts as you already have some for the 1/2Mary plan.

If you want me to do it, let me know and give me some specific dates.  But provided you haven't already customized the 1/2 Mary too much, you can always redo anything if there is a problem.

If I could overwrite just the HIM run program that would be great, then I could re-load it when I finish the HM program to take up the HIM run portion.  The only mod I did to the HM program was to move Sunday long run to Thursday, not a big deal.

Thanks Ron

edit, just gotta say, damn, that is an awesome feature.  Shoulda gone gold a long time ago

Essentially you will be using the HM from now till Feb 10th.  You will be using the HIM plan from December-ish to March 31st (minus the run part).  From December to Feb 10th, the plan will be a hybrid between the two.  Then you will be using the Full HIM plan from Feb 10th till your March 31st race HIM.

DELETE ALL of your 'Planned Training' from now till March 31st, 2007. (It seems you have part of a tri plan loaded between Feb 10 and March 31 and also I don't think your current HM plan seems to end on Feb 10ths race)...just make sure it's the 'Planned training' .  You can verify the deletion by looking in your 'planned calendar' to make sure November to March is clear.

Then go to http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/trainingplans-list.asp?h=1

1. Select the HIM plan, select  'Import', toggle 'import concludes at' and put in the 'Race Date'  3/31/07 for the HIM.  Keep all of the 'Import Options' selected.
2. DELETE all of the run's of the HIM BEFORE 2/10/2007.
3. Select the HM plan, select 'Import', toggle 'import concludes at' and put in the 'Race Date' 2/10/2007.  ONLY keep the 'run' import options checked PLUS 'overall comments and notes'

That should do it.  You may want to skip the strength session 1-2 weeks before the HM that are part of the HIM plan.  Ask Mike on that.

Then just go back through and move the days around that you need to do.

I'm more than willing to do this if it's a bit much.

Thanks Ron, let me give it a shot and I'll let you know if I need help

Well, that didn't take long.... how do I delete Planned Training?

[edit - all right, got that part, moving along now ]

Let me know how this went, I'm here for any questions.
