Subject: RE: Training up to the actual IM Training Plan Spence
Here is my take on it. Whatever your weaker event is - work on that - build the frequency and become a better runner (for example if that is your weakness ). Also, add in strength 2x per week, core 3-5x per week, and stretching/yoga 3x per week. Work on the weaknesses. Trust me, at mile 22 when you are running tall and proud b/c your core is strong you will be much happier than the folks walking half bent over b/c thier core gave out on them b/c they are weak.
2x per week is fine for maintenance, but if you want to improve then 4-5x a week is better. |
