Subject: Training for Multiple Tri's Hello All,
I did my first three triathlons last summer and this year, I'm looking to do 4 or 5. Currently my plans are to start the season with 3-4 sprints, and then finish with an Olympic.
The base of my training plan is probably going to be the 16 week beginner 2x balanced plan.
My question is how should I handle the week of a sprint race and the week after a sprint race in the middle of the training plan? Should I insert a taper week from a pre-race sprint training plan each week before a sprint race, and then a week of recovery, then pick back up the Olympic training plan? Or do one taper week before the event, and then jump back into the Olympic training?
Right now the events are pretty evenly spaced, about 4 weeks between events.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.
