I have done 3 other IM's all with 3 week tapers. They always seem to leave me feeling lazy and flat. This year I want to do a 2 week and I dont know if I am laying this out correctly.
All training done well above race pace, average 14 hrs a week for last 3 months. Have put in at least 8 rides over 100mi. Running has maxed at 16mi so far since it takes me too long to recover if I go longer.
Does this look good or should I cut back further?
