Am getting ready to start up for Lake Placid but trying to decide on whether to do a relative run focus session for 10 weeks (6 runs/2 bikes) prior to bike focus (TR SSBI-II, sustained build for 6 weeks) for 18 weeks. Bike is my relative strength as I'm currently at 3.74 w/kg. Hoping to get it up to 3.9-4 in those 4.5 months. Run is average. 21' 5k
Is it possible to do 2 separate focus training in the offseason?
Is 10 weeks enough time to get some gains on the run or should I devote more time to run? Last year I did bike for 26 weeks and had huge gains (40+ watts).
If I ran first then focus more on the bike, will I lose the gains that I made on the run?
I think I can keep the gains on the bike (or at least minimize significant loss) if I did the bike first. Is this wishful thinking?
thanks
