Subject: Ideas on resuming training close to race time? OK - I posted that I had a bad case of poison ivy last week - 2 weeks to my first sprint tri this season. Otherwise my training was going pretty well. Now that I have laid around for a week under doctor's orders, I am ready to go again! I swam tonight 2500 yds. No problem - that's my strength anyway.
I now need to do a little more on Tues, Wed and Thurs. Any suggestions on how to resume training, when I should be nearly to the point of tapering?
My thoughts are:
Tuesday LSD run (long slow distance )
Tues - PM swim again
Wed 1.5 x race distance ride
Thurs minibrick (1/2 race distance on bike and run )
Thurs PM possible swim
Friday travel to the race, carb load all day
Saturday dive into the Gulf of Mexico!
No speed work at all, no grinders, just light stuff -
Does anyone have a better plan? |
