Subject: where to pick-up training after injury Looking for advice on how to re-start my triathlon training after a long lay-off due to injury. Specifically how to ease back into running in regards to mileage.
Prior to the injury I had been training for about 7 months for my 1st season of triathlon (3 sprints and an olympic ). I shattered my collarbone during a training ride in April and now have a nice piece hardware holding me back together. I had been doing the 2x balanced training plan with run mileage around 10 - 15mpw (my weekly long run was about 7 miles ). I've been out of commission (not cleared to run or swim ) for 8 weeks and expect another 3 before I get the full release from the doc. I've been riding the trainer hard to try to maintain fitness ( hooray for SufferFest! ).
How do I even begin to 'resume' the training plan? What should be my new starting point for running? I realize I can't just pick up where I left off but don't even know where to start. |
