I'm about 99% finished with my 2009 training plan. Just reviewing my periods to make sure my limiters are getting enough attention. Below is a screen capture of the off-season. The only part I'm questioning here is the two Build 1 periods. Build 1 is a bridge between Base and Build 2. Not sure if I should just have one Build 1 period and either extend Base periods or start Build 2 instead. I guess I'll wait till it gets closer to that time and decide then.
I did customize Friel's spreadsheet for my needs. I spend a lot of time at the gym and in spin class and last year I had a hard time accounting for those hours in my plan. As you can see below, I added three columns so I can plan the amount of time in the gym, in spin class and actually in the saddle.
thanks for posting charts like this. i am ever so curious about how others schedule their base/build off season.
