Sub 45-40 - Tri

[FilipeinDC]

Hello, Hope all is well.

I been working mostly on my tri development.
I have a option to spin on mondays,
Scheduled to spin/run on tuesdays, swimming on wednesday, running on thursday,
option for spin on friday and
Scheduled long bike ride on Saturday.

I am looking to start a cycle either today or tomorrow.

If I start on a wednesday, the days in which i do some harder workouts, day 5,8,12,15, fall on days that I am not working my legs out as hard as part of my Tri program (and my event is on a sunday as well)

My question is where would recovery come in? Because on a sat which is a rest day i I would be doing a 25 mile bike work out.

Is it possible to merge these two workouts?

Thanks much.
(feeling a bit more fit than last month And I have been able to run OUTSIDE!)

Thoughts on merging these two workouts?

[TheEd]

the core sessions of the running program on

Day 3 to Day 8 . specific to the 5 x 2k . long run . 6 x 1k

if you are able to get those out the way, then you can focus on the TRI specific training

cycling can throw the legs out for the sessions between Day 3 and including Day 8

as you develop you are able to put swimming sessions in and around Day 3 to Day 8

hope this helps

ps.. once you have done Day 3 and Day 8 , you can see how things will work for you

Hello there, its been a while and well I been out of it for the past 2 weeks.
I was diagnosed with pericarditis which I have recovered and for the last few days I been just doing essay running as per the Doctor recommendations. And I believe that I can start going 100% again either tomorrow or Friday.

I have a Sprint Tri coming up on the 10th. Which wont give me time to do a proper cycle. What are your recommendations?

My tri club is doing a 25K Bike and 10K run this upcoming Saturday. If i do it my plan is to do it at a easy pace through out the length or should I avoid it altogether?

Thanks much.

filipe, I would seriously consider taking things easy and maybe cut the run down to 5km only

just be happy to be exercising again, instead of putting pressure on to perform

1 day at a time

Solid advice, Thanks.

I got cleared to run, and got some few easy 30m runs in there last sat.sun.monday and today did a some runs in the 3minute range tempo runs (slightly easier).

Just going to go easy tomorrow and take one day at a time.

Hope all is well on your end.

Managed to finish 6 in my field on a sprint trip three weeks ago, and considering that I stopped training, felt good.

I did one cycle of the program. Just recorded the days that I hit the track

Day 3
8:27 143HR
8:16 150HR
8:15 164HR
8:50 160HR
8:08 180HR

Didn't feel too tired while running just, couldn't get the tempo right

Day 8
3:52 164
3:56 168
3:56 164
3:52 164
4:06 168

Felt better easier this day to run at tempo.

Yesterday (Race day on the schedule), with the Tri group we did 40K on the bike and I followed up with a 10K that was around 43:45.

I have a Olympic Tri 3 weeks from now. I will be doing one more cycle.

Day3-8 OK to bike to work 16Km total if easy?
Also would you recommend my training pace to be?

Thanks much, take care.
