Subject: Advice on best approach Got my last race of the year next sunday - Rev3 Venice Oly. My training was going along superbly, October was perhaps the best month I have had in my 3+ years of doing triathlon. Last weds I picked up some kind of moderate GI bug (maybe rota or norovirus, don't really know ). Felt kinda crappy weds and thursday, finally got to a spin class last night, ran 3 miles (not my best effort ) and swam a decent 1K this evening. I feel pretty good now, perhaps a bit more tired than I should but far better than I did a few days ago.
My question is how to approach prep for my race on Sunday. My inclination is to do strong workouts until Weds and taper for Thurs, Fri and Sat. Alternatively, I could start my taper now but seems to me that a week is a bit long as I really don't feel that fatigued just kind of tired from the GI bug. What do you guys think? |
