Subject: olympic 2 weeks from 1/2 ironman
hi:
I am doing my first 1/2 ironman in early October. I was wondering your thoughts on doing a Olympic distance 2 weeks before? good idea to get some race and real tri practice in? or 2 close to my A race? I have done a few Olympics this summer already.

just don't know if that is too close to my 1/2. thank you in advance for your advise.

seems perfect.  Recovery from an Oly should be ~1wk.  Since you've done a few Oly's this summer... how did fatigue linger for more than 2 weeks?

everyone is different, and you know your body the best.  I'd do it, but perhaps back off the race intensity of the Oly... just a tad.  Stay sub-threshold.

Executing this full Ironman plan for 17 weeks would give people with one Ironman under their belts very good preparation for a 2nd and 3rd. Preferably, you should have a 6:30 or faster HIM time.

This Intermediate 20 week plan is a quick ramp up in overall volume, but with 20 weeks to train only, it is a gradual and safe approach because of the alternating weeks of the long run/bike.
