So...I’ve listened and for the past 3.5 months i’ve Been focusing on running and the Barry P plan. 6 days a week and got my running up to just under 50mpw (this is good for this 220lbs ex hockey player). The running was a mix of tempo, recovery and long. Didn’t get hurt and the running seemed to work great.
NOW THOUGH, i’m Going from running only to including 3 days of cycling (2 tempo/speed and 1 long), 2 days of swimming (on two of my cycling days), and running for 4 days (2 tempo/speed, 1 long, and one short after a bike). And light weights 2-3x a week. This was my plan anyways.
Just looking for advice on the switch to the new training. I feel weird going from the constant running (was in a nice rhythm with my workout structure), and feel like i’m “Losing” some running fitness. But maybe that has to happen to get the other sports involved?? I don’t have a lot of more time to add in other runs. But just reaching out on any advice, or stick to the plan?
