You may have noticed I’ve been a little quieter in here this week. There’s a pretty good reason. After a long road, I just submitted my final MBA capstone presentation, and I’ll be presenting it on Thursday. So for the next few days, a lot of my free time is going toward getting ready for that. And honestly, it feels pretty appropriate after everything we’ve talked about over the last eight weeks. Sometimes life gets busy. Sometimes training, or work, family, or whatever else we’re trying to stay consistent with, has to flex a little. That doesn’t mean we’ve fallen off. We adjust. We handle what needs our attention. And then we get back to it. That’s exactly what I’m doing this week. I put up a post yesterday asking where everyone is right now and what you need next from Strength2Go. I’d really appreciate your input. I’m listening. Once Thursday is behind me, we’ll take what I hear from you and figure out where we go next. Until then, I’m going to practice what I preach, handle the priority in front of me, and then get back at it. And after Thursday, you can all remind me that I’m officially done with homework.

Earlier this week I asked about which training platform you used. I assumed the majority would say Training Peaks as it's been around the longest and most people are attached to it. I asked because TP is not the best when it comes to ease of use for strength training. While I like the new format which enables video integration, it still doesn't sync seamlessly, or enable merging of workout data the way it does for endurance training. Right now, if you do the Strength2Go workouts in TP, you must manually input your data within the workout inside of TP to get it to go "green", but also use heart rate and time data from your Garmin(or other) watch to get a TSS (Training Stress Score) and have it effect your overall fatigue/fitness levels. As I build out the Strtength2Go project, what are some of the things you think you'd like to see?

Team, I just wanted to share this infographic of the Strength2Go season-long strength system for endurance athletes. While the Strength2Go FLOW has a clear path, it'll be designed for athletes to be able to start at any point given their training history and phase of the season. Something to look forward to!

This is going to be the topic of the week. Let me know what you usually do!
