Subject: RE: Training for 50 mile run, still want to bike/swim It really depends on how well you handle the load. Once I hit about 40mpw running, I only really wanted to bike 1x per week. I could have swam more (my strongest tri event) but I simply didn't have the time. Keep your running as priority #1. For the final ~8weeks of my marathon training, I dropped biking entirely because I was really struggling hitting my run workouts after even a moderate bike session. You might fare better than I did as mileage creeps up Just maintain your focus on your 50miler goal and you'll be fine. Good luck! |
