Now for the training. I've been having a recovery week this week and then I have 8 weeks until the next one so quite a good chunk of time. The weekly load will be:
- 1 swim
- 1 strength session
- 3 rides (1 VO2 intervals, 1 threshold intervals, 1 easy)
- 4 runs
I'm planning to try to get more rest / sleep as well as I wonder if that has been holding me back a bit.
In terms of the running, what I had in mind for the 4 sessions was:
- 1 easy long (13-15k)
- 1 intervals 400s, 1k, 2k, 3k intervals etc (7-10k)
- 1 easy (8k)
- 1 easy or maybe slightly faster like "steady" or tempo or threshold (7-10k)
So 35-40k a week.
That's what I was thinking, but I would love some guidance please. Any suggestions on the overall structure or some individual sessions you'd recommend? Would you like me to do another 4k?
