Subject: RE: Transition from tri-season to run-season? GoGoGo - 2009-08-15 5:12 AM If your long run is Sat, I would take your rest day, soon after. By your schedule, Monday. In my schedule, I bike Sat & LSD Run Sun & Rest Mon.
For your other runs, I would eventually incorporate some hills, if there any in philly. This is the running power training. The other run would be steady or tempo. If you do a 4th, easy.
Yeah, I think Monday is probably the best bet, as suggested. I think Friday I'll do a short swim, and turns out my gym has a 30 minute "yoga stretch" class that day. I have planned to do alternating hills and speedwork, so that I'm doing each just about every other week. For instance, Tues speedwork/Thurs 4 miles easy one week, and then Tues 4 miles easy/Thursday hills the next. Always an easy the Thursday before a race weekend. The plan is kind of my own, it is the same mileage buildup I used for a spring 10 miler, just with a few extra miles on the end. But, I've never incorporated bike or swim before, as this was my first summer of triathlon, so I've always had plenty of days off in the past. |
