I’m sure there is another thread out there because I can’t be the only one, but I couldn’t locate in any of the “new parent” threads. I’ve got a 4 week old and am dabbling in training again. I’ve started following a low volume plan, but life is preventing me from always completing the workouts. S…

[image] Training as a parent Training This should hopefully be a place for people to share their experience about training as a parent. I’m particularly interested to hear from anyone who has managed to train with a newborn. I noticed a few Facebook posts on the topic rec…

Firstly, congratulations! Secondly, I agree that you should focus on the most productive workouts. Not all tss is equal so if you can get in some decent sweet spot work it will help maintain your fitness far better than a potentially longer, lower intensity ride. I think what you do need to accept…

YMMV but I wouldn’t put myself on a plan at all because it’s just going to lead to disappointment. I’d go through one of the low volume base plans as able. With kid #2 on the way in two months, I’ll wrap up SSB2MV and then probably not assign another training plan for a while. I expect to make good …

With my first, I tried to plan training. I missed so many workouts in those first months for various reasons it became a stressor in itself. This time, I’m not planning to race in 2019. If I can jump in something with some kind of fitness, great. If not, I won’t worry myself about it. A little main…

Are you training for an event? If not, I’d say just do what you can when you can. The plans have a progression, so I’d do them chronologically unless too many gaps make the progression steps too big. In which case I’d go back a week or 2 and build up again. If your working towards a fixed date, thin…

Amen to that. You’re moving into a man coverage situation so the challenge def increases. Wish you the best! I am still racing this albeit with limited expectations. It helps that my wife also races, well runs, so she gets the mental health side of things. We look forward to running together wi…
