Hello all!
Anyone used Don Fink's plan for a HIM?
I'm wondering if I should adapt the long sessions down and complete the 30 weeks that way.
Or follow the full program until the week 22, which is where he puts the HIM practice race?
If I do pare down the long sessions on the 30 week plan, ya reckon I should rescue it by 50%?
Thanks folks.
I've trained for 2 70.3's using Fink's plan. Last year I started from week 1 and trained up to where he has a 70.3 scheduled in the plan. This year I changed it up a little bit because I wanted to get in more cycling. I started on about week 10 and went all the way through week 30 (which is actually next week my race is on 9/21 ). Although I did some modifications to the plan. I shortened the long rides to 3-3.5 hours but left all of the other cycling days the same. On the running I scheduled in running on his running days but did not follow his times. I'm an experienced runner that has dealt with a ton of injuries the last several years so I had my own running plan. On the swim I live in rural Oklahoma with limited access to a pool so most of my swimming is done in open water so I didn't use his swim plan. So I guess you can say I loosely followed his plan. |
