Subject: Ironman schedule question Hi All, I have been a runner for 24 years and run with a local athletic club, focused on the IM UK 2010, and for the last 2+ months I have been going at the beginner ironman program to see if my body can handle it at 40!! My question is with 12 months to go to the IM UK, I know from reading other threads 12 months training will lead to burn out, so with where I am below, and having just finished base 1, what should I do now to maintain what I have built for the next 2-3 months, when my plan is to move to base 1 intermediate not basic. Found getting to the end of base 1 fairly straight forward, use RPE and heart rate zones, found the swimming tough to start but now at 2+ miles front crawl, enrolled on total immersion weekend to build economy into swim. Bike going well, 3 plus hours fairly straight forward, just building on MPH. Runs straight from the bike are not an issue. Find SiS nutrition really good and have a solid nutrition plan so far. Your help would be really useful. |
