FWIW in my first week of LV IM plan I ended up doing significantly more bike and run volume than prescribed by TR (like maybe 150%). I had more time/was over-excited to get into it/plan overall is to do LV as the floor and add-in volume when possible.
It seems that the proceeding bike workouts adjusted so that my first week became the new normal, so to speak, but the run workouts did not appreciably change. Hard to tell now looking back.
But seems consistent with others that the bike stuff adjusts while the run… not so much.
Similar to @giventotri I’m mostly using TR for the bike, and then playing around with Jack Daniels 2Q marathon plan for one (?maybe two) quality run workouts a week – I really liked 2Q last winter when I was focused 80% on a spring marathon.
I’m going through the same quandary. As always, the problem with a bike plan plus an independent run plan is that both are ignorant of the other. However RLGL can tip you to back off in the other disciplines I suppose.
Some coaches think you should get all your intensity on the bike, all the runs are easy. Some think triathletes should be doing tempo, interval, long. And then if you’re doing swim training properly those aren’t easy either.
I’m just looking at Garmin run plans yet again, the newest coach asks a minimum five days set aside for running on a five k plan . I had some success with their 4 day McMillan plans when I was doing HV Olympic in ‘21 but most of it was just getting me out the door rather than plan adherence.
Swim, masters clubs don’t seem to do progressive overload in my experience, Form plan are okay but an obvious additional cost, planning your own simple progression could work.
Pff…Stupid run muscles. Had to back of running in December. Suddenly got some pain when placing right foot down in running (groin? hip? … ) . Could not isolate the pain when not running. Stopped running for 10 days, went to doctor…another rest. Now physio. Adductors and hip, weak, thight…But then last week I could run 3k without issues. But then this weekend, just another 3k, again this pain. I don’t know if it is my adductors because I can move my leg freely without pain in any direction. Did not felt it during running, just after my daily stretch that I have to do. Another bummer because still in very easy phase of running. Tomorrow physio session. Hope he knows more…
When cycling, no issues what so ever…But maybe I also should stop cycling. Not sure…Never had this injury before.
I used, and am still using, TR plans for triathlon. I did my first full last fall. Adaptive training was a bit of a pain when I began my plan last winter. Every Saturday I would do my long bike and get a red day for my sunday long run. I went along with it for a while. Ended up changing the settings with the slider to be more aggressive, and ultimately ignoring it for a while until it caught up. I think when it looks at your last 6 week average, if you had say a month or two of “chill” time during winter that will drag down what AI thinks is in the safe zone for you to do. My problem was that I started to see my long runs were being skipped every week and there would be a point where I wouldn’t be able to catch back up. Ultimately I just listened to me body. If I felt tired AND AI said rest then I did. If I felt good, I kept training. IDK if it’s gotten better for us multi sport folks yet…
