What plan did you have before?
Did you moved stuff around when creating the plan?
I know when I added the half distance plan, i moved one swim to Mondays… I think the plan had one day of doing the 3, but I don’t have time to swim during the weekends…so that’s not happening…
You can always cut the bike…like do the 4hr Saturday and 50 min run,.and on Sunday do a 2hr ride and 2 hr run…
Honest response, if you want to do well at triathlon there are some sacrifices you are going to have to make, you can’t get to 15 hours of training per week without making life changes.
Many actual triathletes do doubles or triples most days of the week in order to get up to that kind of volume. The intensity of those workouts is quite low though so the biggest challenge is finding the time, more so than being able to complete the workouts.
Btw @JoeX since you did include me in the roll call, I’d say i had a pretty decent month of training tge last block. Still not hitting great volume numbers as I’ve put tri training down a few notches since covid but very happy with where i am in relation to where i want to be next year.
I agree, after getting over the shock of a 12 hr weekend + the 5 odd hrs in the week I will do some jiggling around and drop the Saturday bike totally and move the Swim/Run portion to the Saturday.
I apologise for “going off on one” but it was **** me moment when the plan updated
PR’d my bike split at gulf coast on Saturday by 3 min. Swim was hard with the constant rolling waves. It was making me dizzy in the water. And off a 3 min PR I ran a steady and respectable 1:52 HM. I started jogging in February after taking off 8mo last year and getting fat, so 1:52 is about the best case scenario I could have hoped for.
I am so ready to crush this Tulsa course. I can’t remember the last time I have felt this sharp. Short swim and tempo run today. Felt like I could pr my 1k swim and 5k run. Saving it for Sunday
