Sub 35

Hey there,

24th/50 pro's on Sunday. A good hit out and was generally pleased with pacing (other than swim, which should have been faster). 35:20 for the 10k off a tough bike (and a very twisty course which is bad for me as I take a while to accelerate!).

So. I now have 6 weeks until the big races (Aquathlon Worlds on Sept 11th, then Triathlon Worlds on Sept 15th). This is where the hard training block begins...

Legs are feeling awesome today after a couple of easy days. I was planning on kicking off with the 2k's tomorrow. I have time for 2x full cycles then maybe something a bit different for the last week before the races?

Question:

I'm considering a training camp in France week of Aug 12th. Do you have any thought's on best use of such a week re: running? If I start with 2k's tomorrow and carry on program as usual that would mean I did the 400's, Fartlek + 'race' during that week. Should I do something different and adjust program to make use of all the rest etc? Obviously I'll be doing lots of biking/swimming.

Hope all is well!
