All of my triathlons have been canceled, so I’m setting my sights for a half-marathon in November. I want to keep using the TR plan in order to keep swimming and cycling in the mix. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? I’m thinking of doing a low volume sprint or olympic plan and t…

I would go with the 70.3 plan and set the date out so you spend your cycling time in base. That should ensure you don’t overdo it on the bike and take away from your run training. Since you are substituting your own run training it won’t be a problem that everything is base centric. Do you have any …

Thanks for the speedy reply. That’s smart: 70.3 starting at base to keep the cycling easy. I did a Jack Daniels 13.1 plan a few years ago. Was basically going to use that. 3 runs/ week. Tempo, intervals and LSD. Unless you have other suggestions?

Daniels is a great resource. I come from a running background so I pull from a bunch of different resources, the main one is Rogue Running (there’s a podcast called the Running Rogue Podcast). I would emphasize 1 speed day (whether that is 800’s, true tempo, or some fartlek work) and an LSD. Dependi…

You’ll also get the benefit of …

Thanks to you both. I’m psyched to do try and improve my run; that’s where I lose my triathlons. I pass them on the bike and they pass me on the run. And any excuse to swim with the pull buoy is wonderful!!!

No problem and good luck! In case you’re interested here is a link to a great episode covering half marathon prep: Running Rogue Podcast: What Does the Race Require? (Part 3) - 10k and HM

I agree with using base rather than Build. The other thing to consider is using the minus variations of the suggested TR workouts. These are designed to give you the same physiological adaptations, but with less training stress. Allowing you to put a bit more training stress into your run training. …
