Hi all!
Recently return back to TR after far too long away from the platform. Loving it so far and really enjoying the AP system!
So, now to my question…
I have been wondering how to include a “training camp” into my current TR training plan. Currently I have booked the time off quite simply as… time off! Although the main goal of the week (it is actually 2 weeks, 1 in the UK this month and a 2nd week in Mallorca in March) will be to rack up Base miles (the UK week will be spent on the MTB with no power data), I am starting to think it’s extremely naive to count this as a week off.
I’m currently thinking that maybe I should put both weeks into the plan as a stage race and mark their importance as C. This way I will be able to predict a reasonably realistic TSS number for the week which will then have an impact on the following week(s).
I apologise in advance if this is a question that has been addressed before but I have failed to find an answer by searching.
Also, if adding an event is the best way to go, is it possible for me to do this when I am 4 weeks into my current plan? My main events this year are, in mid July, 205km/7000m elevation MTB event and then mid August a 560km/5600m elevation 24hr “tag team” road race.
Although I would rather not, if I were to start a new plan, will my progression from the already invested 4 weeks be taken into account or will the plan start again from scratch?
I hope that this all makes sense however, if not just say and I will try and explain things a bit clearer.
Thanks very much for any and all help in advance!
