Subject: Back to base? Hi, I have my first olympic distance triathlon next weekend. After that is a large break in races as its coming into winter here.
I've just finished a Matt Fitzgerald level 7 training plan, and wondering am i best going back to full on base swims,bikes,runs?
I've only been training for 6 months and before this i had not done a thing for 10 years, I have a back ground in swimming and had never ridden a road bike or done any kind of running training.
As my back ground is swimming, I really didn't like the "BASE" period of the swimming and found it really didnt do a lot for me, is swimming something i really need to go back and do a lot of base work on? And for the biking and running should i purely be going back to just base work or should i be doing sprints etc like my build and peak periods?
Goal time of 2hrs 30min next weekend as well !!!
next race could be as far as 20 weeks away
thanks |
