Self coaching myself but I have so many questions. I've been training off and on very sporadically for the past 10 months. Mostly dedicated since February and fully committed for the past 7 weeks. I'm training for my next A race (Oceanside April 2018).
I'm following BarryP for running (6-7 days a week). Cycling is almost all SST/2x20 or Zwift races near 100% for 60 minutes. Swimming I'm mostly working hard (IF>.90)
My typical weeks look like the following.
M - Swim 2000m (20x100 1:35 on 1:55)
Tu - 60-90min (2x20 @ 85% or 40-60min SST) / 2.5 mile run Z2-3
W - Swim 2000m (20x100 1:35 on 1:55) | 5 mile run Z2-3
Th - 60-90min (2x20 @ 85% or 40-60min SST) / 2.5 mile run Z2-3
F - W - Swim 3000m (varies) | 5 mile run Z2-3
Sat - 2-3 hr Z2 ride | 2.5 mile run Z2-3
Sun - 7.5 mile run Z2-3 | (Some weeks) 45-60min Z2 ride spin out
Weekly TSS: 550-750
For now I plan on varying the cycling with the following cycle. (4 weeks of mostly SST, 2 weeks of mostly 2x20@95-100%, 1 week of Vo2Max) then repeat. Right now I am in week 1 of this cycle. For running I plan to get to 4/8/12 for BarryP and stick there until my build phase towards Oceanside.
Last race was a Sprint 2 weeks ago. OWS @ 1:50/100 @ 800m (I had a shitty swim), 260W ride (short course - 9 miles), 7:54/mi 5k.
Can people please critique my training plan? Do I need more ride time? Do I need to work harder? Anything I may be missing?
TIA!
