Is it too early to mention 2020…? :thinking: Have completed my A race 4 weeks ago, I’m fired up to return to it in 2020 and want to start 2nd week Sept to get ahead of my team mate. This gives me approx 40weeks (allowing for holidays booked and a 3-4 weeks flex) I guess I have 2 choices. (both wil…

Great thread! I am pretty much in a same boat as my ‘A’ event is about 44 weeks away. I should mention I have had a very low volume past year so at the moment I am getting back to it. I have approximately 10-12 hours a week of time available. My plan: 5 week prep (DONE) 16 week base (long enduran…
