My 2016 plan is to do UM Florida and UM Hawaii. I have a blog. You tell me what you'd find interesting and I will do my best to share info:
- I could do a recap of what training I do (weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly?)
- I will of course do some race day posts and a race report after the event
I'm trying to decide if blog updates are the only way to go, or perhaps also creating a dedicated FB page for shorter, possibly more random updates. Maybe both.
Tell me what you would find useful and I'll try and do it.
Right now, the plan is to do a few things differently to IM training:
Bike - much more polarized approach. Long, steady (7 hour) rides whenever I can fit them in (will be indoors for UMFL), but also shorter high intensity when appropriate
Swim - same as IM training except more volume - with that volume coming from at least one BIG swim day per week (1 x 10k or 2 x 5k)
Run - just more volume. I'm shooting for 100 miles per week but I'd be satisfied with 60. In addition to more volume I'll do back-to-back long runs (20/20 building up to 20/30)
Having said all of that, I'm an ultraman rookie so take my info with a pinch of salt. But that's part of the fun - I get to try out some new training ideas! Perhaps you'll benefit in 2017 from my mistakes in 2016 ;-)
