Hi everyone! I’m just finishing up the HV half distance tri build, and with my races cancelled and the pools closed, moving to a cycling focus seems like the best course of action. Running is my strongest discipline so I’m happy to let that take a back seat for a while, but I’m not quite sure how …

Kinda depends on how much you were running before but if you were doing a high volume plan than you should be used to a lot of work. I’d probably still do 3 runs a week. Maybe 2 30 min runs and a 1 hour run at a minimum. You could use one of the 30 min sessions to do a little VO2 or threshold…

I’m kinda in the same boat, except the run is still my weakness but I’ve been working on it for 3 years and this seems like a good time to work on a strength. I don’t want to let my run volume drop too low though, since I’ll get back after it hard in the fall. I’m not sure what I’ll be able to han…

Hi, yes - over on the Ironman in 2020 thread I’ve just posted my plan; SSB LV2 with RLRF, alternating bike and run each day. [image] The Ironman Training 2020 Thread Training Same here, I could put in the Base phase full distance and remove all the swims, I’m 28 weeks out…

Oh wow, kudos for training on top of all that! I am one of the lucky ones who’s found themselves with a wealth of time to train. I’d be interested to see how you go on a lower volume approach, as most folk seem to be going to opposite way.

I’d be curious to try this approach- normally I’m a 3-4 runs per week kind of person, but at the moment getting outside for a short run is really helpful mentally, I’m also hoping I won’t experience a huge drop in run fitness as i’m probably going to have to devote a lot of time to swimming when I’…

I’m doing almost the identical thing for running. I found it works really well. But I have to make sure I manage the bike and run intensity or I overdo it.
