I am doing my first HIM at Tremblant next year(end of June) and I have a lot of things to work on to be ready for it. My running fitness now is about where I want to be for next year but I have no idea how I can maintain it during the off-season. Right now the plan is to build a good base for swimming and cycling while trying not to lose too much of my running fitness. Once I hit Feb, I’ll dive into a more focus HIM training plan to peak accordingly.
Off-season plan:
- Swim 2x a week (one masters session + one by myself)
- Cycle 2-3x a week - trainer ride (will choose one of the Trainerroad base building plan)
- Run 4-5x a week?
I am running 5-6x with one speed session per week now and would like to keep it that way. However I don’t know if it is a good idea with what I am trying to achieve. The idea right now is to keep running at lunch time and do my swimming and cycling in the evening. If I am to do that, should I adjust my run training accordingly? Pace wise, should I bother with speed or just run at an easy pace but keep consistency? The ultimate goal for me is to make sure I have enough energy to get a good swim or cycling session and not be too tired because of my running. (specially on speed day and 70-80% running effort day)
Thanks
