Subject: RE: Training plans- How close to follow? My training is largely MIUAIGA, though I do have a general idea what each week will look like, what I should be working on for the week, etc. On the other hand, if I were following a plan, I think I'd try to stick pretty closely to it. I would say that reasonable deviations would include moving training sessions, so long as you don't create a situation where you are doing too many key sessions too close together, adding some mileage to a session, so long as your body can handle it, adding in some easy recovery runs or bikes (again, so long as these don't mess up your key sessions), and adding in swims. Don't do very many straight 4K swims. You are better off breaking those up into intervals. One or two straight 4Ks is enough -- you are really just proving to yourself that you can do it more than anything. Best of luck at B2B! It's a great race. (By the way, thanks for your recent comment on my B2B report, which I noticed just the other day -- yes, I drank water exclusively for 2 hours after my first 'mistaken' swallow of Heed. I think it helped.) |
