Which training phase/plan next?

Training

Hi,

I am training towards a Half Iron man event first weekend of July this year. I have completed the base and now into the build phase of the Half Iron man plans (both low volume) I have a 8 week slot at the end of the build phase, where I can fit another plan in before then going onto the specialty phase.

Would doing the build again be a bad choice? is there a better plan I could select ?

Thanks

I’d suggest you do a second base now and move your build back to start when that finishes

Thanks for the feedback, I didn’t realize base was going to be preferred over build. I will switch my plans around to suit.

Thanks

Yes as above. If extra time then recommendation is usually
Base 1
Base 2
Build
Base 2
Build
Specialty

Where you say Base 2 are you just saying a second one or a particular Base ? like Sweet Spot Base Volume 2 ? The reason I ask, is I have done the Half Iron Man Base, which means there isn’t a 2nd part, so I was just going to do Half Iron Man again with my new FTP.

Ah sorry, I meant ssb1 and ssb2. Unfamiliar with iron man plans as idea of swimming or running is crazy in my world!!!:joy::joy::joy:

To reiterate what’s been said here, we usually recommend repeating Base before repeating Build. Here’s an article from our Help Center that may be a good resource for you:
