I have done 7 sprints this season, and there is a 70.3 at the beginning of Dec that I want to train for. Other than an increase in volume, does anyone have any other tips?
find a plan and follow it, or get some help and put one together.
Assuming you are comfortable siwmming, the bike/run increase will be vital to the longer distances. The run is a big part of it, but without a solid bike/bike base, it wont matter how good you run as you'll be toast from the bike. start logging that bike time, and make sure some of the lnoger stuff is at a higher effort level, not just riding. my first few halfs were pretty ugly for me as I didn't put the time needed into the bike, so even with my better run, my half runs always suffered as I was coming of the bike trashed. get used to 2 hr harder rides, or 3 hour rides where you push larger chunks of them,
