Subject: RE: Neglecting the bike for a fall marathon with an IM next JuneI'm in a similar situation as you, training for a fall marathon (mid-October) and IMCDA in June. Right now I am not swimming and only riding once per week. I do not plan to start any real base training until the end of December. I have done this schedule before and it has worked out ok. If you do not do any riding before your marathon then I would use all of December as a "get back on the bike" month. Short easy rides to get your legs ready to start base work in January. Are you going to race when you BQ, or is that more of just a time goal for Philly? |
