Last year was my first season of Triathlon. I "raced" Lake Raystown 70.3 and Savage Man 70.0. I made a custom 16 week training plan that I followed for both races. The total hours per week looked like this:
9, 9, 9, 7, 10, 11, 11, 9, 12, 12, 12, 10, 13, 14, 8, 3 (@ 13% swimming, 43% biking, 44% running)
I am curious as to what sort of volume increase you guys suggest for me to enjoy Maryland full this year. I have been training all through the winter and continue to do so. I am looking to make a solid plan 16 weeks out and budget the time with my family ahead of time. I was thinking maybe a 40% increase in volume:
13, 13, 13, 11, 15, 15, 15, 13, 17, 17, 17, 15, 19, 19, 12, 4
I am not too worried about my body breaking down. I everested last fall and I did solo 200 and solo 250 mile rides on my P2. I am not very fast (middle of pack in both triathlons), but I do have the endurance to go the distance. I am looking to be middle of the pack in Maryland and finish strong with a smile on my face.
So anyway, do you think a 40% increase is something I should go for?
Thanks for your input.
