Subject: Multiple Event Training Happy New Year!
Well rather than just train for one big event, I'm going to enter multiple events this year and need some training advice. Here's my schedule:
5/5/09: Indianapolis Mini Marathon
Late June/Early July: Olympic Distance Tri
Mid to Late August: Olympic Distance Tri
My questions pertain to my training between now and May 5th. I'm going to utilize a 3 day/week running schedule for the 1/2. I'm running with my wife so finsihing and having a good time is the goal.
So assuming one day off, I was planning on 1 day for swim maintenance/drills (40 minutes or so ), 1 day for a longer ride (60-90 minutes on the trainer ) and 1 day for a spin class or an interval ride on the trainer (45-60 minutes ). Keep in mind I'm in Chicago and don't imagine any real riding for quite a while....
Does this seem realistic or should I add an extra day off and just cycle once per week?
Thanks in advance!
