TheEd,
I was after your thoughts for training over the next few months...
This week I am not going to do very much, probably a couple of swims and that's about it. I'm pretty sore
Races coming up: 22 Jan, 12 Feb, 11 Mar, 1 Apr.
All of the races are Olympic distance triathlons exxcept 1 Apr which is a sprint distance. I was hoping to peak for 11 Mar to get my best 10km time in the triathlon.
I was thinking of the following: week 1-4 (19 Dec - 15 Jan) base training phase, weeks 5-8 (16 Jan - 12 Feb) speed training phase, weeks 9-12 (13 Feb - 11 Mar) taper and race on 11 Mar, weeks 13-14 (12 Mar - 25 Mar) speed training, week 15 (26 Mar - 1 Apr) taper and race.
What are your thoughts?
Also looking at my splits from the 70.3 I am best at swimming (268th overall), bike is middle (329th overall) and rubbish at running (475th overall). I'll continue spending 6 days a week at the pool but balance the run better with the bike I think.
