Subject: RE: Quick BT Training Plan Question I am wrapping up that plan right now. When it first started out, I was doing an hour long body pump class for my strength twice a week. As it progressed, and my three sports training sessions increased in volume and intensity, I found I needed that time in the morning to sleep and recover. I believe the plan even says that if you need to drop a workout, drop the strength first. In it's place I would ride a little longer. Basically do the plan's ride, then tack on 10-20 more miles. I did this because I wanted to do a century (and successfully did one). If you need some swim work, get some paddles and add 500 yards here and there, or do some extra kick drills. Maybe even... dare I say... the dreaded butterfly. It's a fantastic core workout that counts as time in the pool. I would also try to throw in an extra 5k here and there if my legs felt fresh and it wasn't a high volume run week. Just something local. $20 to a local church or charity, free t-shirt, and three miles added volume to the run total. I actually can't remember the last time I did a strength session outside of basic core work. The swim/bike/run sessions can get pretty intense if you do them the way they were intended, and you will probably find that recovery will become a bigger and bigger issue.
