Subject: RE: Has anyone successfully merged a HIM and Marathon Training Plan?I did a HIM in late October 2008 and went right into marathon training for a February 2009 marathon. I will do another HIM on June 14, 2009, so my HIM plan technically began in January 2009 while I was in heavy marathon training territory. The plans overlapped by about a month. My primary and most pressing goal was the February marathon so I stuck to that plan the best I could. Due to a foot injury, I was forced to skip a few runs a week, and I repaced them with time on the bike. My plan had one day of cross training per week built in, and I chose to do a long swim that day each week. |
