Build your Annual Training Plan with Frank, live Friday

​Your last big event of the season is close. What you do in the 2 weeks after it decides how fast you are next spring?

This Friday, Coach Frank goes live on YouTube to build the Annual Training Plan start to finish. All 7 phases: the 2-week post-season break, fall foundation, the 10-week weight block most athletes skip, 16 weeks of Sweet Spot base, then intervals and race prep into your A event.

Bring your calendar. Frank will work backward from real A events on the calendar and answer your questions live, including the one everybody asks: what if I'm reading this late in the season?

Open the app. Know what to do.

One recovery number, read against what's actually on your calendar, so you find out whether to hit today's intervals or move them before you get dressed.
