Sample Athlete: Annual Planning
Annual Planning: Who Is This Triathlete? • I’ve reviewed the GA options and do want to consider that. We are tightening the belt some. I
couldn’t justify this expense right now. • Injuries/Ailments: Have some minor/nagging right knee pain otherwise no issues at this time or
major ones from the past. Knee pain hasn’t slowed me down. I consider myself pretty tough - not afraid of pain or training smart/hard.
• Swimming: I consider myself an average swimmer. Best swim time for 2.4m is 1:16• Cycling: I really would like to get stronger on the bike. My best IM bike time is 6:15. Would like to
shave 30 minutes off that time and still be fit to RUN a marathon.• Running: I feel this is my strongest of the 3 disciplines. 3:50 marathon is my best in IM no stops.
Probably good benefit most from speed work. • Strength: Need lots of core work - not a big fan of it though :). I don’t have a good routine.• Flexibility: I have done yoga but not consistently. I do see value in how yoga improves overall
performance and would like to incorporate (access to Pilates classes too).• Nutrition: Need a complete overhaul here. Had my best success with carbopro. But like most
nutritional supplements you can only take the taste for so long.• I only followed a real training plan for my first (best) IM…IMAZ in 11:36:05. • For my next 3, I made up my training plan based on research, thinking I knew more than I did and in
hindsight I suffered. • I feel I have mastered the ability to make an IM harder than it actually has to be. • My goal for IMMT is to get to the start line healthy and fit to have a shot at a PR. My best IM time
is 11:36:05. I would love to see a sub 11 hour IM. • I have a pretty flexible schedule and very supportive family.
