553 St Catharines, Ontario | Subject: 2 weeks to go - how is my plan? 2 weeks less a day to my first sprint of the season. Training has gone great with barely a session missed. My sprint is: 750m swim 30km bike 7km run (rolling trails) and my target is to break 2 hours. Not sure how to manage my last two weeks. So far the plan is: Today: Swam at the pool. Race distance and then some form and speed drills. Sunday: RACE DAY!! I am essentially mainataining my training routine up until 3 days to go. Do I need to taper more? Anything I should add? |

But generally, race week should be a light week with little bits of intensity to avoid feeling flat. The only suggestion I'd have is to take off Friday, and then do a very short bike/run on Saturday just to loosen your legs up some. |

Master 2759 Los Angeles, CA | Subject: RE: 2 weeks to go - how is my plan? I think you should taper more. I generally decrease at least 25% of the overall volume but put in a bit of some race pace efforts during the week before a sprint triathlon. I definitely wouldn't run 9 miles or run a 10K Tuesday. In addition do that I wouldn't bike that much on a Wednesday either. Now if your upcoming race isn't an A race then keep up with the volume and train through this triathlon and rest a bit after. Then continue training for your A race if you have one. Edited by kloofyroland 2015-05-26 11:54 PM |
