Triathlon Training Olympic Distance Rev 2  

Posted by FLATOUT JIM in

So someone does read my blog. Someone named anonymous left some very good advice in a comment on my previous Triathlon Training Olympic Distance
post. Basically I have too many hard days back to back which I abruptly found out my first week. That’s where the flexibility comes in. So I switched things up a little, and I have a little better week planned out.

Saturday: Brick (Long ride and long run, moderate intensity)
Sunday: Long Ride and Swim.
Monday: am swim pm optional ez run
Tuesday; Brick Half and Half
Wednesday: am swim pm Bike (Hills or intervals)
Thursday; Long Run
Friday: REST

I want to try to get in 4 run sessions, but I also know my body responds well to recovery, so I am leaving Monday open to do a swim and easy run, or maybe even blow off both and take a full rest day based on how I feel and where I am in my training schedule. Also, some changes in our work and school schedules has given me some flexibility with my morning sessions, and I can now get to an early morning swim.

So once again, any and all comments welcome.

I just did my first triathlon (sprint distance). I've got the bug. I want more!! So I don't have any advice other than to say: you've been doing this for at least several years, so just do what you've done before with just a tiny bit of a push in your training. You want to do better than before, but at this point you're just tweaking a system that apparently works well.

Thanks for the kind words Scott. I'll take that as a compliment that you think since I have been doing this for several years, and I should just keep doing what I have been doing.

But it's tough not to try an re-invent the wheel every year.
